THE QUEZON City government on Friday said that it will file charges against Colegio De San Lorenzo for its supposed failure to comply with the city’s Building Code.

City Attorney Orlando Paolo Casimiro said they are planning legal action over the school’s lack of building permit, alleged illegal construction and violation of easement of waterways.

Casimiro said CDSL failed to comply with the Department of Building Official order to rectify the structure it erected and observe the easement of waterways despite repeated warnings.

“The DBO will file criminal charges against the property owners for violations of the Building Code. The school’s business permit is also deemed revoked,” Casimiro said.

“The City Government will study all legal options against the property owner,” he added.

The CDSL earlier announced its permanent closure due to “financial instability and lack of financial viability brought about by the ongoing pandemic and exacerbated by consistent low enrollment turnout.”
