New Powers for EOA Regarding Dangerous Buildings
September 4, 2026
The EOA now has the authority to demolish or seal dangerous buildings. The process for notifying property owners is changing, allowing only a letter to be sent to their last known address. There are objections regarding the imposition of fees on development permits to fund repairs for these buildings. The Interior Ministry has allocated €2 million for support, but the costs are much higher. The chairman of the parliamentary committee urged for the swift approval of relevant legislation to prevent potential tragedies.
