But one detail stands out awkwardly: on its map of problem buildings, community names in the free areas appear in Greek, while on the same, single map, names in the occupied areas are printed in Turkish. The DLGO’s supporting material also references the Department of Lands and Surveys, describing an interactive map of the active registry and telling users to select the satellite image or the Land Registry parcel layer from the layers icon in the top right corner. Philenews attempted to contact DLGO about the map and the use of Turkish for occupied communities and other details, but could not reach anyone, possibly because of the summer holiday period. It is possible an online map was used as a base, one that already carried Greek names for the free areas and Turkish names for the occupied areas. The registry itself was compiled by DLGO Nicosia’s new digital service, called the Active Registry of Dangerous Buildings of Nicosia District, now available online. The organisation’s Dangerous Buildings Sector carries out on-site inspections and assesses both buildings inherited from the former responsible authorities and new cases as they arise. The registry is live and updates automatically with each new entry. Through it, residents can check which buildings have been declared dangerous or in need of repair, search and view analysis by administrative area, and use an interactive map showing the exact location of each building. Published material accompanying the registry states that public space safety is everyone’s responsibility, and encourages residents to check the status of buildings in their own area. DLGO officers, drawing on data inherited from municipalities and communities and after carrying out their own assessment of the situation, identified 712 problematic buildings. Of these, 657, or 92.3%, were classed as dangerous, while another 55, or 7.7%, need repair. Of the 712, 310, or 43.5%, are in urban areas, and 402, or 56.5%, are scattered across various communities. In total, the buildings span 72 administrative areas, reflecting the time and funding needed to monitor them, or to support repairs where the level of risk requires the use of specialist crews. 171 dangerous buildings in greater Nicosia According to DLGO data, greater Nicosia accounts for 310 of the buildings. In Nicosia itself, 171 were classed as dangerous and 28 need repair. Strovolos has 52 buildings, of which 43 were classed as dangerous and nine need repair. Latsia follows, with 13 buildings, 12 of them dangerous and one under maintenance. Lakatamia has 12 buildings, 11 dangerous and one needing repair. Egkomi has 10 buildings, nine dangerous and one needing repair. Agios Dometios has nine buildings, all classed as dangerous. Geri has seven buildings, six dangerous and one needing repair. The Lakatamia-Tserkion municipality has six problematic buildings, all dangerous. Aglantzia has two dangerous buildings. 402 problematic buildings in the communities Outside the urban centres, the 402 problematic buildings were identified across 63 areas.
