The owner of an Iowa building that partially collapsed last month pleads guilty to an infraction, agreeing to pay a fine as crews start demolishing the remains of the failed structure.
The building's owner, Andrew Wold, did not appear in Scott County court on Monday. An attorney entered a guilty plea on his behalf to a civil infraction filed by the city of Davenport.
Wold was ordered to pay the fine as well as $95 in court costs in the Monday hearing, which came after he failed to appear and enter a plea on Friday. The city said in a news release Sunday night that officials have been discussing how to tear down the building with structural engineers, regulatory authorities and the company doing the demolition work. As a precaution, the city ordered that residents of nearby apartments vacate their homes during the process.
