Government
to inspect Havana housing stock
HAVANA, October 15 (www.cubanet.org) - A commission
made up of architects working for the Institute
of Housing has started to inspect this capital's
housing stock to assess its condition and relative
state of disrepair.
The architects are being selected by the several
municipal housing offices in the municipalities
where the problems are most acute. At present,
the inspections are limited to the municipalities
of Old Havana, 10 de Octubre, Central Havana,
and El Cerro. "Very likely, the investigation
will extend to the whole country," said one
architect that is working in 10 de Octubre.
The architect said the expectation is that fully
80% of the housing is deteriorated or in need
of maintenance, including the units classified
as regular and poor.
