City officials directed the owners of the parking facilities to make immediate repairs to corroded concrete and other damage. The structure that collapsed earlier this month had not yet completed its required inspection, city officials said. A more recent inspection in fall 2013 showed no further structural issues, building officials said. Inspectors have since visited 17 parking garages managed by the same company, as well as 61 additional buildings with parking garages that had open structural citations. Because inspections of parking garages continue, officials said there could be more enforcement action to come.
