Puerto Plata government building demolitions

Overview

Authorities in Puerto Plata have ordered the demolition of several public buildings following an evaluation by the National Office for Seismic Evaluation and Infrastructure Vulnerability (Onesvie). The assessment determined that structures housing the Provincial Government and the Northern Regional Directorate of the National Police pose a significant collapse risk, especially during a major earthquake.

The demolition order also includes the historic San Felipe de Puerto Plata Fire Department headquarters, a 1930 structure showing cracks in its walls and beams. Both the Provincial Government and the National Police have relocated to provisional sites. Governor Claritza Rochett Peralta de Senior noted that the demolition site on Luis Ginebra Avenue will eventually host a new building dedicated to the National Police, with the Provincial Development Commission overseeing the construction of new facilities for both the police and the fire department.
