Over the last 15 years, there have been three major building collapses in the Jacksonville area: The Berkman Plaza II in 2007, the Ascension St. Vincent’s Riverside parking garage in 2023, and the collapse of a building in Jacksonville’s Urban Core on Monday evening. News4JAX spoke with Mark Kilgore, a forensic structural engineer, who pointed to a couple of factors that could contribute to structure failures, including the age of the building, a lack of maintenance, and water intrusion.
