Objection to Risky Building Determination, Notification of the Risky Building Report, and Other Related Procedures

Objection to Risky Building Determination, Notification of the Risky Building Report, and Other Related Procedures

Under the risky building assessment process carried out pursuant to Law No. 6306, a majority vote of the condominium owners is not required in order to initiate a building risk assessment. The application of a single property owner to a licensed institution, together with the title deed and identification documents, is sufficient. The costs of the assessment are generally borne by the owner who requests it; however, if the assessment is conducted ex officio by the administration, the costs are apportioned among all owners in proportion to their land shares. With respect to the reporting and objection procedures, as a general rule, only one risky building assessment report may be issued for each building. After the report is submitted to the Land Registry, notification is made by posting the notice on the building, publishing it through the e-Government system (e-Devlet), and announcing it at the local headman's office (Muhtarlık). Property owners may file an objection with the Urban Transformation Presidency within fifteen days from the date of notification or bring an annulment action before the administrative court within thirty days.
