Three-story building on rue Saint-Rome, one of the most commercial streets in the center, three blocks from the famous Toulouse Capitol. Emergency services evacuated 23 people living in adjoining buildings during the night, some using ladders.
A “significant crack’ was detected by “building risk specialists” and it was initially planned that the building would benefit from shoring carried out by a private company. In November 2022, two buildings collapsed, in thecenter of Lille, after being evacuated. A man, to whom a resident had entrusted the keys to his home, and who had not been warned of the imminent danger, was found dead in the rubble.
