Any reinforced concrete and steel high rise building that moves enough to jamb doors and crumble shear walls is in danger of a catastrophic collapse. I wouldn't be letting any residents return to the building imo. I'd hate to be the engineer to give the go ahead for the residence to return.

I've been in the residential and commercial building industry all my life. These big developers and builders make mistakes all the time. It's common for floor plan layouts to change as the building progresses upwards to allow more units to be included. Then you get young poorly educated engineers doing the inspections, shear wall connections with structural columns and diaphragm floors get overlooked all the time it's common now.

I know a civil engineer who declined a $50k payment to sign for work not done, maybe someone associated with this project was offered a payment too good to refuse
