This week, reporter Molly Hudson took you inside the Regis building that is next to the 16th Street sinkhole and showed you the big problem residents have been dealing with for months.
Since then, KMTV uncovered a timeline showing that many people knew about this void under the sidewalk before it opened up last week.
In fact, some of the older reports of a potential problem date back years.
BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Reporter Molly Hudson uncovered reports to the mayor’s hotline alerting the city to potential problems.
One reporting, “cracked pavement in the alleyway, ground seems hollow beneath.”
Both reports were made in November of 2024.
Earlier in the year, the Regis building paid thousands to remove pounds and pounds of mud from its sub-basement.
Later in the year building residents hired an attorney and an engineer as they tried to figure out what was sending the mud into the building.
Tom Dinaro, who lives in the Regis building, says he was told about the void in the alley last summer.
