Reports about possible dangerous structures are investigated
immediately day or night. Our senior staff are on call 24 hours a
day, 365 days a year, to deal with reported dangerous buildings and
structures. They are able to give advice on the course of action
that may be necessary to remove the danger and the steps to be
taken to safeguard the public.
Whenever possible, the owner is given the option to undertake
the necessary remedial work. If it is necessary to deal with any
immediate danger, our staff will arrange for the City of London's
emergency contractor to carry out the work. The owner is liable for
the cost.
Where our responsibilities overlap with other Emergency
Services, a close liaison is maintained to ensure safety at all
times.
Should a major civil emergency occur, the 'City
of London's Emergency Plan' would involve our staff in respect of
dangerous buildings affected by such an incident.
For further information or to report a dangerous
structure tel 020 7332 1000 (Mon - Fri 9am - 5pm), or
outside these hours tel 020 7606 3030.
