- "The collapse yesterday of a house in the neighborhood of San Antón has to serve as a wake-up call to the Government of Cartagena to boost the measures that our Group has proposed to combat the risk of a real estate park Cartagena aged," noted the spokesman for the orange formation, Manuel Padín
Cartagena, Saturday, December 22nd.
Citizens recalled today that only in Cartagena there are about 25,000 homes that should necessarily pass the Building Assessment Report (IEE) in 2018. The orange training has inferred this figure from the report 'Your Building in Shape', made by Mutua de Propietarios and the Official Association of Quantity Surveyors, Technical Architects and Building Engineers of the Region of Murcia that estimates 195,000 homes that are in this same situation in the Region of Murcia.
The inspection of buildings over 50 years old is an obligation that is expressed in the Decree that includes the IEE approved in 2015 by the Community.
The objective of this technical document is to diagnose the state of conservation, health conditions, accessibility and the level of energy efficiency.
"The collapse yesterday of a house on Calderón Street, in the San Antonio neighborhood of San Antonio, is a touch of attention that reaffirms our objective of addressing the aging of the Cartagena property park," said the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín.
As reported by the newspaper La Opinión yesterday in its digital edition, the collapse occurred after six in the afternoon.
Inside the house there was a woman with her children.
The woman and her husband, together with five children, were rehoused at the Santa Teresa Hospitality.
According to the spokesperson of Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, "we have been warning since 2015, that our City Council has a huge regulatory deficit," Cartagena has never regulated by an ordinance the technical inspection of buildings and their natural evolution to a regulatory ordinance. of Building Evaluation (IEE), especially for those over 50 years old ".
During a meeting held this week with the Sustainable Development Coordinator, Ángeles López, the orange spokesperson explained the need for the Government of Cartagena to initiate the procedures to make this regulation, the ITV of the buildings, and handed over to the coordinator a model of ordinance for the IEE prepared by the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces.
A few days ago, Cs received confirmation that the local executive had accepted a proposal that "seeks to develop and clarify the intervention of the City to monitor that the owners meet their obligation to establish periodic inspections, the ITV of buildings," explains the spokesman of Citizens that explains that this ordinance "would improve, among other things, the protocol to require the owners to present the IEE, it would update the sanctions for those who do not submit the report in a timely manner and fail without justification their duty of conservation by the regulations and would promote the computerized and updated annual registration of real estate that exceeds 50 years ".
"The need to be more restrictive could even be valued, something that the law allows," Manuel Padín has suggested.
In the meeting with Sustainable Development, the need to reinforce the area responsible for inspecting security in housing blocks was also addressed, and it is formed only by an architect and a legal specialist, and at least three more professionals, a technician and two auxiliaries
The Councilman of Public Function, Manuel Mora, advanced to questions of Cs in the last extraordinary plenary session that the Government will undertake this extension of personnel, "but until it is done, we will not remain calm because this department has a huge challenge for in front, and must collaborate to block the entrances to buildings in a state of ruin, in addition, it is also necessary to strengthen the department that issues responsible statements where there is only one person, both issues will be addressed in the negotiations for the accounts of 2019. "
The shortage of municipal staff does not help to revitalize the construction sector that acts in reforms and rehabilitation, "at a time when it is going badly because of the lack of the PGOU and the difficulty of transitory urban planning rules come into force "adds Padín.
