Based on qualitative information from field work in the center of Lima, it is suggested that Barrios Altos has been turning into a precarious urban area since the mid-twentieth century. This precarity is expressed mainly in property issues, residential strategies, and tenure. In this context evictions configure the strategies and actions of residents who live in the middle of the principal tensions in the area: the dispute between residential function and the need for an expansion of urban centralities for trade and services. This topic has the peculiarity of being disregarded by urban research; therefore, the aim is to provide a critical point of view in the study of central historical areas and to contribute to a better understanding of residential reproduction in working class sectors. Este artículo discute los mecanismos de acceso residencial en inmuebles deteriorados en el área central histórica de Lima, las disputas por el uso de suelo y el desalojo como forma de apropiación de los predios. Con información cualitativa proveniente de trabajo de campo en el centro de Lima, la propuesta que subyace es que Barrios Altos se ha ido transformando en un área urbana precarizada desde mediados del siglo XX, lo cual se expresa principalmente en los asuntos de la propiedad, las estrategias residenciales y de tenencia. En este ámbito, los desalojos configuran las estrategias y repertorios de acción de los residentes que viven en medio de la tensión principal del área: la disputa entre las funciones residenciales y la necesidad de expansión de las centralidades metropolitanas de comercio y servicios. Este tema tiene la peculiaridad de ser poco atendido por la investigación urbana, por lo que la intención es aportar una crítica en el estudio de las áreas históricas centrales y contribuir en la comprensión de la reproducción residencial de los sectores populares.
