Uri Rudelman

Uri Rudelman is a lawyer and the administrator of the América building in San José, Costa Rica. He was recently in the news following a structural failure of the building's facade during strong winds, which led to the collapse of windows and debris falling onto passing vehicles. Rudelman has publicly refuted claims that the building is in poor condition, attributing the incident to the force of the wind rather than years of disuse, despite acknowledging that the upper floors of the building have remained vacant for over a decade. He emphasized the need for governmental support and investment to revitalize the central area of San José and expressed his commitment to addressing the aftermath of the incident.
