When Dublin City Council becomes aware of any structure (or place) that is or is likely to become dangerous an Inspector from the Dangerous Buildings Section carries out an investigation. Comprehensive powers of enforcement can be exercised by this Section under the Local Government Acts. Appropriate action is then taken to eliminate the danger.
If you are concerned that a structure is or is likely to become dangerous then contact the Dangerous Buildings Section.
