Municipalities examine abandoned houses
Official data reveals that the Kingdom of Bahrain is dealing with the phenomenon of abandoned and dilapidated houses that pose structural, environmental, health, and security risks, particularly in the old neighborhoods and the capital. In 2023, 190 buildings considered at risk of collapse were identified in the capital, of which 35 were demolished. Additionally, the Muharraq Council recorded 213 abandoned houses, along with the study and categorization of around 400 homes. Over the past three years, 34 houses in the Muharraq District 4 have been identified as threatened with collapse. These conditions lead to structural dangers and environmental pollution, as well as the exploitation of abandoned buildings for illegal activities. Regular inspections, classification according to the level of danger, and swift action—either demolishing or renovating—are essential measures to mitigate these risks. Officials emphasize the importance of developing a unified database to update information and prioritize actions, aiming to preserve public safety and the urban aesthetic, especially in areas of historical significance.
