m

Edifício São Vito, popularly known as Treme-Treme (literally "Shiver-Shiver"), was a 112-metre (367 ft), 27-story former residential building, located in São Paulo, Brazil, finished in 1959. Throughout its existence, the building became deteriorated and earned a reputation of São Paulo's biggest vertical cortiço (slum). The city expropriated and evacuated the building in 2004.
