About a thousand buildings in Estonia are a threat to their residents. Balconies in these panel houses may collapse at any time. Such information was provided by the Department of Technical Supervision, writes ee24.com citing baltic-course.com.
The study identified 840 distressed homes built in the Soviet era in different cities of the country. As for concrete guardrail, only 16% of balconies are in good condition. As for proper fixation, 39% of balconies do not have imperfections.
Repair, strengthening and maintenance of balconies are among duties of owners of apartments in Estonia. Authorities do not intend to allocate funds for such works.
