Overview
- A preventive evacuation moved 148 people from the annex at Libertad 819 after persistent tremors were felt on upper floors.
- City firefighters, the SAME emergency service, and the Umat technical unit responded and assessed the building.
- A technical inspection indicated an off‑axis motor in a cooling unit transmitted strong vibrations concentrated on the 10th floor.
- Umat cleared the structure for reentry, and all occupants returned without injuries, according to SAME chief Alberto Crescenti.
- Traffic was halted at Córdoba and Cerrito with access via Libertad restricted, then restored once the perimeter was lifted, and officials said the episode was unrelated to a magnitude 6.1 quake in Chile.
