Per the above publication, Cominsky stated:

"We’re definitely searching. Unfortunately, we’re not seeing anything positive that continues in that sense.

"The key things we are looking for all throughout in regards to void space, livable spaces, we’re not coming across that.

"So, we’re actively searching as aggressively as we can to see if we can assist with the families and locate individuals."

The 12-story-high beachfront Champlain Towers South condominium collapsed at approximately 10.30 PM ET on the evening of Thursday, June 24. More than 100 people currently remain unaccounted for.

Commenting on the disaster in a recent interview with CBS, Miami Mayor Charles Burkett spoke about the recent effort to partially demolish the rubble ahead of tropical storm Elsa.

Burkett stated: "We need to get back to [searching the rubble] as soon as possible. We need to get this building taken down and we need to move forward with the rescue of all those people that are still left in the rubble.

"The intention is to bring the building down in a westward direction so that the debris pile that exists with victims in it is not affected."

Meanwhile, a $5 million class-action lawsuit has been filed against the building's condo association in the aftermath of the disaster.

The Brad Sohn Law Firm claims that Champlain Towers South Condominium Association, Inc. failed to "secure and safeguard" its residents and inform them about the lack of safety precautions in place.

Commenting on the lawsuit, lawyer Brad Sohn stated: "We are committed to compensating these vulnerable families, whether they have lost a loved one, lost the place they called home, or suffered injury."

While the cause of the incident has not yet been established, the construction at Eighty Seven Park is now being scrutinized.
