Miraflores Cites Safety Violations in Closures of Intercorp Businesses

The district defends 13 safety-based closures, with verification visits set after only two firms sought to lift observations.

Overview

  • Miraflores reports that 13 Intercorp-linked locations were closed for deficiencies found during February inspections of 39 sites within more than 250 district interventions.
  • Officials list critical issues including blocked evacuation routes, inadequate electrical protection, unapproved layout changes, faulty rooftop AC supports, and seven undeclared gas cylinders at a fast-food outlet.
  • Intercorp alleges 15 closures in under a week, calls the actions irregular and lacking legal or technical basis, and ties the sweep to a dispute over the Manuel Bonilla sports complex, which the municipality rejects.
  • Only two Intercorp companies have filed to lift observations and obtain new ITSE safety certificates, and the municipality has scheduled technical visits to verify compliance.
  • Business associations urge proportional, procedurally sound enforcement and warn of uncertainty for workers, suppliers, and customers as reopening timelines remain unclear.
