Overview

• The mayoral decree took effect upon publication on September 30 and bars making couriers enter internal areas of residential or commercial condominiums.
• Deliveries must occur at the gate, guardhouse, reception, or another spot designated by building management, with recipients responsible for pickup at that location.
• The rule covers delivery workers linked to apps, those employed by companies, and autonomous couriers.
• Exceptions apply for elderly people, individuals with disabilities or reduced mobility, and any entry into internal areas requires the courier’s express consent under condominium rules.
• City officials present the measure as a safety step that complements a Sedcon/Procon-RJ requirement for apps to specify exact delivery points, as reports of violence against couriers continue and the sector monitors this week’s STF case on potential employment links.
