The Santa Cruz de Tenerife city administration has implemented safety measures at an abandoned building in Añaza. The works involved the demolition of internal staircases, removing access points from the ground floor up to the fourth floor and from the sixth floor to the upper levels.

Mayor José Manuel Bermúdez described these actions as a step toward preventing access to upper areas and reducing risks associated with the structure. Additional measures to secure the site include repairing perimeter fencing, blocking access points, and planned works to remove ground-level embankments to prevent entry.
