The five-level deck services the Northside Alpharetta Medical Campus on 3400 Old Milton Parkway, according to Alpharetta Police spokesman George Gordon.

Penny Smiley, a nurse at the facility, said inspectors were on the scene just a few weeks ago in wake of the collapse of the Centergy Parking Deck in Midtown.

“There’s a lot of big cars that park here so it doesn’t surprise me,” Smiley said. She typically searches out a corner spot; “It’s safer there,” she said.

The concrete fell on the third level. The structural damage was minimal.
