A number of neighbors expressed their discomfort, according to them, due to the lack of civility (noise, dirt, etc.) associated with the center since its occupation. They reported non-compliance with a coexistence pact established in June 2009 between the patio and a neighborhood association.[11]​[12]​ The complaints were specific and it was not all the neighbors who disagreed with the use they gave to that Madrid school.
