Endangered buildings in Paris in 2020

Endangered buildings in Paris in 2020 © Apur

This map shows the location of 192 buildings in Paris, that in 2020 showed a high risk of becoming run down.

Each year, the Observatory for the Prevention of Building Deterioration, which is run by Apur, compiles a list of buildings that need to be monitored, in collaboration with the City of Paris. The identification of these buildings aims to guide part of the field inspections carried out by the City of Paris Technical Departments, so that an administrative intervention can be made at the earliest possible stage.

The Observatory centralises data files on all private residential housing in Paris built before 2000 and extracts information on 10 fragility indicators corresponding to the typology of buildings, the quality of their construction and upkeep, as well as the management and occupation characteristics. Cross-referencing and weighting these indicators make it possible to identify buildings with various different fragilities that present a risk of deterioration. The 192 buildings identified warrant particular surveillance by municipal technical services although their condition is not necessarily very problematic.

In 2020, the indicators used were: 

  • A dense concentration of small rented accommodation.
  • Formal notices under the construction and housing code (CCH) particularly articles on general emergency policies,and any type of danger or insecurity linked to equipment.
  • Formal notice under the Departmental Health Regulations.
  • A positive lead diagnosis in any communal or private part of a building.
  • A significant percentage of social housing applicants among residents of a building.
  • Unpaid communal water bills in a building.
  • Former furnished hotels.
  • Presence of termites.
  • Several interventions by the fire-brigade.
  • Indebtedness of co-owners and the condominium.
