### In Risk Zone: 28 Houses in Santa Fe
#### Main Article
Residents in the Santa Fe 2 community of El Rosario are facing a severe crisis as 28 homes have been designated with yellow tags indicating they are in a risk zone. The affected homeowners blame the construction company, ENCASA, for using substandard materials and performing poor soil compaction, leading to significant structural damage. Cracks and sinkholes have appeared in the homes since the rainy season this February, exacerbating the situation, says Daniel García, who lives in the sixth house.
Despite promises of repair and ongoing work, the homeowners report continued movement and damage to their houses. “They say they will fix it, and they have been doing some work, but the houses keep moving, and they still sell more houses,” Daniel noted. The local park has been cordoned off since February due to safety concerns.
On Thursday afternoon, officials from the Municipal Civil Protection and the Urban Administration Directorate (DAU) conducted an inspection tour of the area. However, the affected residents remain distressed and skeptical about the future safety and stability of their homes.
