Overview

  • Two dwellings on Calle Sant Josep in Paiporta are occupied by five people after DANA damage left multiple properties vulnerable.
  • An altercation among the occupants on 25 August brought Guardia Civil, local police and an ambulance to the scene, with authorities noting the dispute was between the occupants, not neighbors.
  • The acting mayor says the homes were already empty before the storm and are not fit for habitation, highlighting risks to those inside and to passersby.
  • The property owner has begun legal steps to evict the group, while Policía Local and Guardia Civil have increased surveillance in the area.
  • Residents report forced entries and tool use, voice fears for schoolchildren passing the portals to nearby La Inmaculada, and point to a similar post-DANA case in Torrent as a warning.
