Illegal floor obstacle to urban transformation

HİLAL ÖZTÜRK News Center - Real Estate Law Association President Ali Güvenç Kiraz made the following assessment on the subject: "Urban transformation does not take place in many buildings due to illegal floors. Buildings that do not have a building registration certificate, have not benefited from the zoning peace regulation, are completely illegal buildings that are not within the scope of vested rights... If you live in that building and want the building to be renovated, you will either give up your own flat in square meters - to convince the owner of the illegal floor - or you will not use the urban transformation option. In this case, "Your building will be demolished, but it will become land. Legal regulation is definitely required."

The role of municipalities

Lawyer Adem Filizkaya and Lawyer Mehtap Acar Ulus noted the following: "Instead of a new legal regulation in solving the problem, the role of municipalities is very important. Municipalities have the authority to detect risky buildings and demolish risky buildings within the scope of Law No. 6306. Municipalities should actively use this authority to at least detect illegal buildings and ensure their evacuation. The other precaution should be to not open electricity, water and natural gas subscriptions to independent sections in illegal buildings."

'Renewal, not transformation'

Architect Nihat Şen also said, "Building renewal is not urban transformation. Municipalities should act as mediators or contractors and carry out area-based urban transformation with macro plans. Houses covering several islands, with parking lots and social living spaces should be built without indebting the citizens."

There are hundreds of buildings that could collapse on their own
