Now there is a special dispute in the city between the building control and the spatial center. Lahti Tilakeskus would like to save money, but the city’s building inspection requires the removal of blemishes in the name of equality. The city requires cleanliness from all property owners. The neighbors have also complained about the bumps.

Two wall paintings were made with permission

With a permit, murals were painted on vacant houses in the fall of 2023. The idea was that the temporary paintings would be removed when the buildings were demolished. In addition to authorized paintings, the walls of the building have been scratched. They have also been vandalized.

At the end of last year, Lahti Tilakeskus applied to the city for permission to allow the graffiti to remain on the walls until the final fate of the buildings is known. This would avoid unnecessary work and costs.
