In Turkey, since November 2024, a demolition decision can be made with the consent of 50% of owners + 1 vote

The new decree will apply to risky buildings. Now the decision to demolish such buildings can be made with the consent of 50% of owners + 1 vote. Under the old rules, the consent of 2/3 of all owners was required. The resolution enters into force on 09.11.2024.

Hazardous Building: This is a structure at risk or outside of it that has reached the end of its useful life or that, on the basis of scientific and technical evidence, is found to be in danger of collapse or serious damage.

Risk buildings are identified by owners or their legal representatives through an electronic software system based on a risk report issued to institutions or organizations licensed by the Ministry of the Environment, urbanization and climate change, the list of which is published on the official website of the Ministry and https://altyapi.csb.gov.tr/riskli-yapi-tespitiile-gili-kuruluslar.

The owners or their legal representatives may challenge the demolition within fifteen days. These objections are considered and decided by the Technical Committees at the request of the Bureau. Under the Administrative Procedure Act 2577, a claim may be filed against administrative actions taken under the Act within thirty days of notification.

After recognition of the building, risky tenants will be given no more than 90 days to leave the apartment (previously this period was no more than 9 months).
