When a portion of the parking garage at Ascension St. Vincent’s collapsed this week in Riverside, it brought to light the lack of inspections required for garages across Jacksonville.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., it brought to light the lack of inspections required for garages across Jacksonville.
In Riverside, it’s not clear if inspectors or others have been inside the partially collapsed garage and the hospital isn’t saying anything about the investigation and what will happen to the 100-plus cars stuck in the garage. But there was work happening in the adjacent medical complex on Friday. Work was happening at one garage the city is responsible for on Friday, the sports complex garage near the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena.
Crews that maintain city garages are constantly checking for water leaks because that seems to be one of the main concerns. When it comes to parking garages, it’s like your roof. If they leak, that could cause the structure to become unstable.
