Maybe an interpretive plaque can be installed.
Better to err on the safe side and install two plaques, for structural redundancy.
If it is just not up to current seismic requirements, just have the residents sign a waiver to that effect. A whole bunch of older buildings don't meet today's code either.
If it is something more than that - tear it down.
If you go back a few pages in this thread, AllJetNoPilot posted detailed links to the specifics of all that's wrong with the building.
In a nutshell, the various professional reports indicate that there are so many separate things wrong with the building, it would seem either a partial or complete tear-down will be the eventual outcome, despite such a radical end-game likely being many years down the road due to the assorted financial and liability entanglements identified to date.

Consider all of the people everywhere who have lived in houses or buildings for some duration, and then moved out, and then learned that the house or building suffered a serious fire at some later date.
Consider all of the people everywhere who have driven in a car or bus or flown in a plane that suffered a serious accident at some later date.
Consider all of the people everywhere who have used a bridge that suffered a serious issue at some later date.
Consider all of the people everywhere who have patronized a store or business that suffered a violent robbery or had a car drive through the front window at some later date when they themselves were not present.
Hundreds of millions of people all over the world. Consider all of the people everywhere who have walked under a tree that fell down at some later date.
If the unfortunate incident happened shortly after your exit then sure, you would probably spend some time pondering it.
But if the incident happened years later? Are we expecting a large portion of the world's population to be feeling traumatized all the time?*
In the case of Danbrook One, even if disaster were to happen tomorrow the residents were still clear of it by a full year.
*spoiler alert... ah, forget it.
