Dangerous Buildings

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, contact the Dangerous Buildings Section using the details below.

Derelict Sites or Buildings

If you are concerned about a building that is neglected or unsightly, this is dealt with by the Derelict Sites Section, which is run by the Planning and Property Development Department.
