Regarding the two incidents of balcony collapses in Paphos and the Mayor's public statements on the matter, the Ministry of Interior clarifies the following:
It is the responsibility of each building authority to, inter alia, identify, control and take measures in cases of dangerous buildings, under the Roads and Buildings Regulation Law.
In the last two cases, the buildings whose balconies collapsed fall within the municipal boundaries of the Municipality of Paphos and therefore, the Municipality of Paphos, as the competent authority, must take the actions provided for by the Law.
Precisely for this reason, the Minister of Interior sent a letter today to the Mayor of Pafos, asking on the one hand for information on any actions and on the other hand calling on the Municipality of Pafos, as the competent authority, to do everything required by law.
