Something has to be done for the problem properties of the center of Lahti, the Lahti councilors rumble

Lahti delegates agree that decaying properties in the downtown area must be controlled. Ways to intervene are still being sought.

In Lahti, city councilors are also tired of the downtown problem properties. Today, Yle announced on a proposal for the Lahti City Audit Board that the future of empty plots and deserted houses would begin to be explored.

We reached the SDP, the Coalition Party, the Basic Finns, the Left Alliance, the Greens and the Christian Democrats the most votes. Pro Lahti did not respond to the call request.

One of the problems of the delegates is the relevant legislation.

– I would turn my eyes towards Parliament and new legislation. Ultimately, it is an unsustainable situation that there is a desert house in the built urban environment. In the worst case, it starts to be dangerous to the environment, he says.

Problem House number one

Particular attention has been paid to a block of flats on the corner of Hämeenkatu and Vesijärvenkatu, which has been monitored in Lahti for years.

The delegates interviewed are wondering that the building is starting to be a safety risk, as there have been an unauthorized crowd.

The fact that a building is a danger to the environment can give you the opportunity to promote problem houses. However, the delegates are aware that private property protection is strong. Easy or cheap ways to deal with the problem may not be found.

The takeover has been presented as one of the opportunities to get the house to the city. This too raises doubts.

The Lahti City Council seems to have a consensus that the problems that cause problems have to be controlled. The right tools will certainly be sought in the new council.
