I can see 311 reports regarding its dilapidated condition. I took a look inside from the Daiquiri shop and there's no shortage of issues in this garage. Crushing, spalling, corrosion, saltwater infiltration, double tee's that have massive chunks missing, exposed rebar, exposed 120v wiring, etc. You can actually see daylight in some areas. Apparently the garage was closed in 1982, just 8 years after being opened, due to severe corrosion. How it reopened I have no idea, but it's in terrible shape. I was told the city threatened to close it a few years ago, but it sounds like the pandemic interrupted that process? Does anyone know if the city is aware of this garage's current condition and whether or not they're doing anything about it?
Look at this support column. If you view it up close in person (It's publicly accessible at the entry) someone literally took a rotary hammer and whittled away half the column to make more room for cars to leave the garage without rubbing into it.
