Overview
- Three workers died on March 9 when three slabs fell during demolition at 124 San Antonio Abad; the site remains under ministerial custody as the FGJCDMX investigation continues.
- Housing chief Inti Muñoz says boroughs exclusively authorize and supervise demolitions and that administrative 'facilities' are not permits, citing an October 20, 2025 notice to Cuauhtémoc and a November 12 acknowledgment from the borough.
- Cuauhtémoc maintains it denied the demolition request on September 30, 2025 and argues the city housing secretariat and Reconstruction Commission enabled the work through the 'facilities' mechanism.
- The city counters that the document shown by the borough reflects a public consultation step rather than a formal denial and urges Cuauhtémoc to detail any license decision and site verifications.
- Demec Demoliciones carried out the job, previously held public contracts, and was reported by the borough to lack required documentation; Morena legislators accuse Cuauhtémoc of omission and signal potential political and legal actions, as authorities provide support to victims' families.
