Statute overview

About this statute

This law sets out measures on housing buyer protection, building safety, the public function of urban curators, and functions assigned to the Superintendence of Notariado y Registro. The article states that the law’s purpose is to protect home buyers, improve building safety, strengthen the public function of urban curators, and assign other functions to the Superintendence of Notariado y Registro. This article defines key terms and requires certain housing-project arrangements to specify who is responsible for the seller’s obligations; if they do not, they may be jointly liable. Structural design reviews are required under special rules when a project exceeds 2,000 square meters of built area, and the applicant generally pays for the review. Las edificaciones que superen 2.000 m² de área construida deben tener supervisión técnica independiente; las de menor tamaño deben ejecutarse conforme a la licencia, con responsabilidades definidas para constructor, diseñador estructural y otros titulares relacionados.
