Q: ¿Es obligatorio cubrir la 1/2 de los gastos de reconstruccion de una pared medianera?
Una de las partes implicadas construyó la pared medianera hace varios años. La otra parte que no aportó a la construcción alega el muro esta cediendo. El muro no ha sido examinado por un perito en construcción y aparenta estar en buen estado. La parte peticionaria solicita al Tribunal la parte demandada cubra la mitad de los gastos de reconstrucción.
A:
La respuesta a su pregunta depende en dónde se construyó la pared medianera. Si se halla en el terreno de una de las partes, ese dueño es quien debe asumir el costo. Si se halla en el medio exacto entre ambas propiedades (o sea, que la pared medianera toca ambas propiedades, ambos dueños aportarían a su mantenimiento.
Ahora bien, si usted percibe que no es correcto que la pared esté cediendo - y dependiendo del costo que le reclama su vecino - tal vez sea buena idea contratar los servicios de un ingeniero para que evalúe la pared y confirme de manera pericial si es correcto o no que el muro esta cediendo.
