In the Valle del Mezquite neighborhood of La Paz, Baja California Sur, heavy rainfall has caused dangerous structural softening in several multi-family buildings. Local Civil Protection has officially classified these apartments as uninhabitable zones due to risks involving cracks, sinkholes, and structural ruptures.

Affected residents are seeking immediate relocation, compensation from construction companies, and the cancellation or refund of mortgage credits from federal agencies such as Infonavit and Profeco. While residents have held meetings with housing and consumer protection authorities, they report that dialogue with builders has failed to produce concrete solutions to these safety concerns.
