What are the signs that a residential unit is overcrowded?

[ad_1]

Local authorities in Abu Dhabi are preparing to impose strict measures, including heavy fines of up to Dh1 million, to control overcrowding in residential areas.

A dwelling unit is considered overcrowded when the dwelling unit is occupied in a manner that is out of proportion to its size and the amenities provided.

During the first three months of 2023, the Ministry of Municipalities and Transport will conduct inspections for violations of Law No. 8 of 2019 concerning the occupation of properties and residential units.

General cleanliness within dwellings, lack of security and safety standards, and distortion of the urban landscape are some of the key aspects that will be monitored.

The main “signs” that municipal inspectors will check for include residential units with “sustained disturbances,” such as parking in restricted areas or on sidewalks or in spaces designated to tenants, or residential units that are constantly making loud noises, it stressed.

The “overall image of compromise”, including drying clothes on windows, balconies and railings, is another warning sign of breaches.

In terms of “public safety and health hazards,” dumping of trash in non-designated areas and improper disposal of trash are signs inspectors look for during site visits.

City authorities have urged community members to report any signs of the above. They can report such overcrowding and other violations of occupancy laws by calling 800555. The city released a list of 18 violations. A 25% discount is available if the total penalty is paid within 60 days of the settlement date.
