An audit last year found potential fire safety deficiencies that could cost owners up to €14,000 each to repair
RESIDENTS OF AN apartment complex in south Dublin have been told the first installment of a possible €14,000 to repair fire safety defects is due at the end of this month.
One resident told TheJournal.ie that they have now been told to pay a “levy” of €2,000 before 1 June, with an installment of €1,000 due at the end of this month. Look, I’m not a curmudgeon, I paid my water charges, I’ve always paid my taxes and rent in the past. I just think this is wrong. The Simonsridge development consists of 632 apartment units spread over 20 blocks. Construction on the complex began in 2004.
“This would mean the stated fire resistance of 30 minutes [in the submitted fire safety certificate] is not being achieved. A fire could spread and breach the protected hallways within the apartments in less than 30 minutes.” “Fire extinguishers are noted on the fire safety certificate drawings and as such should be installed in order to achieve compliance with the approved fire safety certificate.”
