Americans have all read, seen, or heard about the South Florida condo that collapsed and killed dozens of its residents.
The death toll in the Florida condo building collapse went up to 95. According to the AP, the Miami-area condominium building collapse had rescue crews working for the 20th day to find victims in the rubble.
The Associated Press article explicitly states "condominiums". Doesn't this cover other residential buildings of similar construction with regard to structural and safety inspections?
"But while the measure was hailed by lawmakers, the senator who represents Surfside, Democrat Jason Pizzo, warns there’s a lot more to do — and the state doesn’t have enough structural engineers to handle the workload required to make sure all the state’s high-rise condominiums are safe."

Concerns about the integrity of what's still standing added another level of difficulty to the painstaking recovery efforts. Work was halted for about 15 hours as engineers assessed the remaining structure. The county could face heavy rainfall and strong winds during the 2022 Hurricane season.
The partial collapse left vast piles of rubble and materials dangling from what remained of the structure. At the center in the red tie, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis arrived to speak to the media on June 24. "We still have hope to be able to identify additional survivors," DeSantis told reporters near the scene. The Republican-led legislature has done too little and way too late.
