Unsafe buildings are structures that pose a risk to the health and safety of their occupants or the public. This can be due to various factors, such as poor construction, lack of maintenance, or damage from natural disasters. Common issues include structural weaknesses, fire hazards, and the presence of harmful materials like asbestos. To ensure safety, buildings must meet specific codes and regulations. Inspections by qualified professionals can identify potential dangers, allowing for necessary repairs or renovations. In some cases, unsafe buildings may need to be closed or demolished to protect people from harm, highlighting the importance of regular assessments and adherence to safety standards.
