In a significant ruling by the Public Finance Court of Marília, the Companhia de Desenvolvimento Habitacional e Urbano (CDHU) and the local City Hall have been instructed to renovate the buildings of the Paulo Lúcio Nogueira Housing Complex, which have been under interdiction since 2023. This judicial decision mandates a renovation deadline of up to one year to ensure the buildings are safe for habitation. The urgency of this ruling reflects the court's commitment to ensuring that residents displaced from their homes receive adequate living conditions, either through renovation or alternative housing solutions.

If the repairs cannot be completed, the ruling stipulates that the affected families must be provided with equivalent or superior housing options. Compliance with this ruling is critical, as failure to adhere will result in severe financial penalties, specifically a daily fine of R$ 500 thousand for any delays. This provision underscores the judiciary's role in enforcing housing rights and ensuring swift action to secure living conditions following the displacement of residents.

Additionally, the court has ensured that the social rental assistance and other benefits for the displaced residents will continue until they can be relocated into suitable housing. This aspect of the ruling highlights the ongoing support for affected families during the transition period, reflecting a broader obligation to safeguard residents' welfare amid systemic housing challenges in Marília.
