P.R. Laws tit. 18, § 1561
When construction, excavation, extraction or earth-moving work is carried out without the authorization required in § 1560 of this title or when the conditions imposed in the authorization granted are violated, the Council may resort to the Court of First Instance to issue a resolution directing the stopping or suspension of the works in question until the requirements of this chapter are met. The court may order the demolition of what has been constructed and the restoration or reconstruction of the material, structure or site if the work carried out modifies or destroys the authenticity or value of the archaeological content. If the damage is irreparable, the person liable therefor shall compensate the People of Puerto Rico for the damages caused.
In the abovementioned cases, the owner of the work and the contractor shall be jointly liable for the obligations to be imposed.
