Overview

• The facade and parts of the first and second floors gave way around 10:15 p.m. on Aug. 24 at Calzada de los Misterios and Alfredo Robles Domínguez in the Colonia Industrial area.
• Four occupants had been evacuated earlier after reports of falling masonry and large cracks in the facade, which prevented injuries.
• Protección Civil and SSC cordoned the site, diverted traffic, and continue peritajes to assess structural stability.
• During the early hours of Monday, Protección Civil demolished the remaining first-floor section while evaluating the ground level and potential impacts on neighboring properties.
• Media accounts point to age, heavy rains, and lack of maintenance as possible factors, and the owner, identified as Jaime Núñez, says he had warned authorities and has no alternative housing.
