New details are shedding light on the deadly condominium collapse in Florida that killed dozens, including a woman from Westchester.

A final federal report found that parts of the beachfront building began deteriorating weeks before the 2021 collapse.

Investigators say the structure did not meet building codes and construction did not follow its original design.

The collapse killed 98 people, including former Ardsley resident Judy Spiegel.

Officials say the report highlights serious issues with the building’s structural integrity leading up to the disaster.

In 2022, a judge approved a more than $1 billion settlement for victims and their families.
