Housing office files damaged in flood
HAVANA, Cuba -June 22 (José Antonio
Fornaris, Cuba Verdad / www.cubanet.org)
- Thousands of files pertaining to housing
in Old Havana was damaged over the weekend
after rainwater flooded an office of the
city Historian.
Wednesday, the files, stored in cardboard
boxes, had still not been allowed to dry
and there was standing water on the floor.
The housing office located on historic
Obispo Street, had been recently repaired.
Rainwater appears to have flooded under
doors opening onto an interior passageway.
An employee said the files had just been
transferred to the office, explaining why
the files were still sitting on the floor
in cardboard boxes.
The files contain all the available information
about each building in the city and are
necessary for all bureaucratic transactions
concerning the buildings.
