The municipality ordered the evacuation and demolition of 67 dangerous buildings in Jleeb
Kuwait Municipality has issued warnings to 67 properties in the Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh area, declaring them at risk of collapse and ordering their immediate evacuation and demolition due to their dangerous condition.
The Director-General of Kuwait Municipality, Engineer Manal Al-Asfour, issued an administrative decision requiring property owners to evacuate and demolish the buildings within two weeks from the publication of the decision in the Official Gazette (Kuwait Alyawm).
The decision follows reports from the Government Center for Testing, Quality Control, and Research, a letter from the Deputy Director General for Farwaniya and Mubarak Al-Kabeer Governorates, and a notice from the Legal Department. These reports confirmed that the buildings are structurally unsafe, at risk of collapse, and pose an imminent threat to life, property, and public safety.
Al-Asfour highlighted that the municipality will monitor compliance closely. She warned that if owners fail to carry out the demolitions within the specified timeframe, the municipality will remove the buildings at the owners’ expense, ensuring they are first completely evacuated.
This move underscores Kuwait Municipality’s commitment to public safety and urban risk management.
