  In order to determine the cause of the collapse, President Abinader announced the formation of a commission of national and international experts, and an investigation was begun by the Attorney General of the Dominican Republic. Abinader indicated that questions must be answered, "qué pasó, por qué pasó y cómo pasó" ("what happened, why it happened, and how it happened"). A separate technical investigation is being carried out by the Dominican National Office for Seismic Assessment and Vulnerability of Infrastructure and Buildings (Onesvie), which is expected to be concluded in about three months.
  
  On 14 April 2025, a lawsuit was filed by relatives of one of the deceased against Jet Set owner Antonio Espaillat, his mother, Ana Grecia López, the Dominican government and the Santo Domingo mayor's office, demanding unspecified damages from them and a criminal conviction for involuntary manslaughter against the Espaillats. On 12 June, Antonio Espaillat was arrested along with his sister Maribel, with the Attorney General's Office accusing them of "immense irresponsibility and negligence by failing to physically intervene to prevent the club's roof from collapsing".
