Evacuated building in El Poblado used as an AirBnB

Residents of the Las Lomas No. 2 neighborhood in El Poblado are concerned about the Mantua building, which was evacuated in 2013 due to construction flaws and pending reinforcement. The 14-story and five-basement construction is now being occupied despite not yet having undergone the required reinforcement, according to neighbors who claim that it is being used as an Airbnb. Although the administration denies the claim, several apartments are furnished and even have rental ads on the internet. The building, at first glance, appears uninhabited, but there is movement from early morning, with several vehicles entering the parking lot and some apartments having open windows, installed curtains, and even laundry hanging out. The evacuation of the building in 2013 was due to insufficient structural processes and a lack of compliance with seismic resistance standards, among other reasons. Currently, there is a license for structural reinforcement, which remains pending.
