Audit Finds Widespread Violations in Lima VIS Projects, Including 28-Story Overbuild

The watchdog’s report puts municipal enforcement under pressure to act.

Overview

  • Auditors reported that six of every ten inspected constructions failed technical reviews yet advanced with permits.
  • In San Isidro, a project reached 28 floors where only 10 are allowed, a case that control officials say could warrant demolishing excess levels.
  • Units marketed as VIS were priced above the legal ceiling, with 43 m² apartments offered near S/391,000 versus the S/160,000 limit.
  • San Isidro has 28 VIS applications in process, and several projects may continue until court disputes are resolved, according to the report and local coverage.
  • A San Isidro legal official said some developers transfer properties to new companies to sidestep cautions, while roughly 10 license-nullity cases are on file.
