Brief
Minister Garcés said authorities have inspected more than 51,000 buildings, with 58% receiving a green classification. Another 23% were assigned yellow tags and 18% red tags. The government has deployed 3,071 inspectors to conduct the assessments. The reported distribution offers a broad initial measure of building conditions, although the information provided does not specify the locations inspected, classification criteria or required follow-up for properties in the yellow and red categories.
With 41% of inspected buildings placed outside the green category, the findings point to potentially significant remediation, access and asset-safety issues. Investors need geographic and technical detail to determine whether the results affect commercial property, logistics facilities, public infrastructure or insured assets.
