Cork City Council’s €550,000 spend on shutters for vacant and derelict buildings

  1. Have you seen the ones with painted windows on them to look like houses ?

    I really should take a snap shot the next time I pass one, it’s laughable.

  2. This is the latest one and someone may be able to shed some more light on it but. Many of the property managers won’t get the heating systems recommissioned in vacant properties until they have a tenant lined up to move in as uninhabited houses get oil, boilers stolen all the time. Councils won’t assign a tenant to a property without the BER cert. BER cert can’t be issued until heating system witnessed. This circle jerk is resulting in hundreds, possibly thousands of properties sitting vacant for months on end (many inevitably get trashed while vacant and property management company get to stick in another exorbitant invoice for refurbishment to the local council).

  3. We have a parasitic government that mostly exists in the form of a marketing agency trying to excuse and hide criminal activity.

  4. 90-100 properties? Why are they paying for shuttering and not the landlords?

    Unless the city owns 90-100 derelict properties?
