711 Buildings in Nicosia District Officially Declared Dangerous, Authorities Urge Government Funding
The Nicosia district has 711 buildings officially designated as dangerous, according to the latest data from the Nicosia district government organisation (EOA). The EOA is managing 1,495 cases, including buildings under review and those pending declaration. Currently, only two buildings have been evacuated, with legal measures underway to address uncooperative owners.
The EOA has called on the government to allocate €2 million annually over the next decade to address urgent repairs and safety issues. They propose creating a special fund to finance repairs when owners fail to act, with costs recoverable through property liens. Staffing and funding shortages have hindered effective management since the EOA took on this responsibility last year.
The Technical Chamber (Etek) emphasized the systemic nature of the problem, highlighting issues with building management committees and delayed maintenance. They advocate for regulatory reforms, regular inspections, and a unified online register for transparency. A new bill expected in September aims to strengthen authority powers and penalties for non-compliant owners, but financing the actual repair work remains a critical challenge.
