The warnings about the old brick building on Main Street just kept coming. There was an engineer’s report in February about a compromised wall. Over months, assessments were written, work permits were issued and some repairs were made. Still, as alarm grew and complaints mounted, people were allowed to remain in their apartments at 324 Main Street in Davenport, Iowa, a city of 100,000 residents situated about halfway between Des Moines and Chicago. But last week, a day after that 911 call, a section of the downtown building cleaved off and fell into a parking lot.

The body of one of three men missing after the partial collapse of an apartment building in Davenport, Iowa, has been recovered a week after a section of the six-story structure collapsed, a spokeswoman for the city said on Sunday. The spokeswoman, Sarah Ott, said in an email that the body of Branden Colvin Sr., 42, was found on Saturday. He is the first person confirmed to have died in the collapse. Two other men — Ryan Hitchcock, 51, and Daniel Prien, 60 — are still missing since part of the building came crashing down on May 28. The city government said in a statement on Thursday that it believed there was “high probability” that the three men could have been “home at the time of the collapse” and that “their apartments were located in the collapse zone.”
