October 3, 2025
Concerns were raised by the general secretary of the Technical Chamber (ETEK) about the safety of apartment buildings, which could collapse in a mild earthquake. The problem is mainly observed in Nicosia and Limassol. During a parliamentary discussion, the need for regular inspections and restoration of dangerous buildings was highlighted. The discussion of the related bill was interrupted due to procedural issues. There was also opposition regarding the imposition of fines for the repair of these buildings.
