SANTO DOMINGO – The Ministry of Housing, Habitat and Buildings (MIVHED) reported this Thursday that it conducted an inspection visit to the facilities of the Fiesta Hall of the Jaragua Hotel, to verify the condition of that structure.
The agency explains that this lifting of the restrictions is in response to a complaint about a leak in the ceiling of the hall, specifically in the area of the stage, where large-scale events are held.
During the inspection, MIVHED technicians examined the condition of the roof in two areas: the area above the stage and the area above the main hall of the event venue. The inspection was carried out by the agency's Directorate of Private Works Supervision, according to a press release.

The MIVHED press release indicates that water accumulations were identified in both areas, apparently associated with a waterproofing system with some deterioration and areas of the roof that do not have the appropriate slope for drainage at those points.
Also, during the inspection, elements installed on the roof corresponding to the platform area were identified , so it was recommended to carry out a technical review of the structural calculation to confirm that the roof design adequately considers the loads associated with this equipment.
It notes that the Directorate of Private Works Supervision is sending the establishment a detailed technical report with the corresponding observations and recommendations for the adoption of the appropriate measures.
"This inspection is part of the work carried out by MIVHED to supervise buildings and public or private spaces where mass gatherings take place, in order to ensure that they operate under adequate and safe conditions," the information highlights.
