In 2016 the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources filed a lawsuit against the mayor for constructing docks without permits.[3] In the aftermath of Hurricane María a private company without a contract sued the municipality arguing it assisted with aid but this case was dismissed.[4] [5]During his term the mayor closed off access to the town docks due to safety concerns a move the municipal legislature later opposed.
