Rio de Janeiro property expropriations in Cosme Velho

Overview

Following a partial building collapse in the Cosme Velho neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro that injured a woman and a child, the municipal government initiated safety and infrastructure interventions.

Mayor Eduardo Cavaliere announced the expropriation of the collapsed structure along with the historic Casa Portinari and Solar dos Abacaxis to prevent further incidents caused by poor maintenance. These properties are intended to be auctioned to new owners to ensure their preservation.

The city has since formalized the expropriation of Solar dos Abacaxis and the Casa de Cândido Portinari. The move is aimed at urban renewal and the protection of municipal heritage, as residents had previously warned authorities about structural risks such as deteriorating facades and roof issues. The Casa de Cândido Portinari is noted for its cultural significance as the former residence of the painter.
