The Ministry of Public Works has identified architect Amaury Mendez of Constructora Duval, S.A. and engineers Felix Antonio Jimenez and Yanet Gonzalez as those responsible for the construction that collapsed on Saturday at Calle Octavio Mejia Ricart in the Ensanche Ozama, causing major damage to a neighboring house.
