Mall del Sur Ordered Shut Temporarily for Electrical Code Breaches After Joint Inspection

Authorities call the closure a preventive step pending remediation with technical certification to lift the sanction.

Overview

  • The Municipality of San Juan de Miraflores, in coordination with the Lima Sur Prosecutor’s Office, ordered a temporary closure citing infraction No. 2.94 for noncompliance with the National Electrical Code.
  • The inspection led by prosecutor Ricardo Walter López García identified exposed electrical cables along with refrigeration maintenance failures, rusted metal structures, inadequate installations and missing safety signage.
  • Officials described the action as preventive, with reopening contingent on fully correcting the deficiencies and proving compliance through required technical documentation and inspections.
  • The shutdown disrupted operations for retailers and visitors, prompting complaints about cinema tickets, purchase pickups and other planned activities.
  • Some outlets reported the mall’s social posts claiming service resumed on December 2, a development not yet validated by municipal or prosecutorial authorities.
