What specific design, construction, and regulatory failures led to the collapse of the Hakimbey Apartment building, resulting in 78 deaths?

A new forensic report on the collapse of the Hakimbey Apartment building in Malatya, Turkey, during the February 6 earthquakes, which killed 78 people, has found multiple parties at fault. The report, prepared by Karadeniz Technical University academics, deemed the contractor, technical application manager, technical supervisor, site manager, static project author, and individuals responsible for project controls in the municipality's building permits as primarily responsible. The municipality's building control unit was deemed secondarily responsible.
