In Martigues (Bouches-du-Rhône), a social landlord will be sanctioned financially by the State because it does not comply with its obligations. The building in question was put under surveillance until the work is completed due to unhealthy common areas and electric meters. A first in France.
Fauge facades, cracked and weakened balconies. Here are the images of the unhealthiness of the Notre-Dame-des-Marins residence in Martigues. Degradations that extend inside apartments inside. Like that of this couple of tenants who wishes to remain anonymous. “”There was mold, it was painted. But in the meantime, I have undergone a flood“, says a resident. As these photos show, every winter, with humidity, walls blacken mold and poison the daily life of this family.”Molds are dangerous. My children are sick because of that“, she adds. Amount of the rent: 650 euros per month. Faced with the inaction of the lessor, this couple has only one wish: to move.” Today, we are afraid because the building moves, “explains the husband.
Living conditions that deteriorate among all the inhabitants. Here, water infiltrates the ceiling. This retiree has rented an apartment since 1993 and she shares this observation of helplessness. “”We would have liked them to renovate, that they try to do something because it is a beautiful place. I asked to come and cut the trees. I waited for more than three years to come and cut all this greenery“She says.
The state plans to sanction the organization in charge of the residence by cutting the reduction on the property tax from which it benefited. Contacted, the social landlord claims that a plan of 50 million euros to rehabilitate the buildings must be deployed from next year.
