Urban Planning technical services in Tortosa have been monitoring a building in the old town for months, following detected detachments from the facade and interior. Due to the owner's inaction in carrying out the necessary conservation tasks, the council has issued eleven sanctioning notices.
Municipal technicians have conducted new inspections to assess the extent of the damage, which primarily affects the exterior cladding and a fragment of the interior ceiling. Initial technical assessments do not indicate an imminent risk to the building's structural stability, although monitoring will continue.
The municipal government has defended that decisions are based on technical criteria and that urgent subsidiary actions are only taken when there is a direct danger to people's safety. These explanations follow criticism from Junts per Tortosa regarding the building's condition.
The council attributes the degradation of properties in the old town to decades of underinvestment in renovation. It recalls that the 2025-2029 Neighborhoods and Towns Plan allocates 25 million euros for the rehabilitation and urban regeneration of the Historic City.
