Overview
- The FAVB reports more than 8,000 dwellings with serious defects, including roughly 5,000 in Besòs i el Maresme—2,800 classed as high risk—and 2,500 in La Pau, plus 432 in Trinitat Vella, 314 in Poblenou and five in el Carmel.
- Identified problems include aluminosis, poor thermal insulation and subsidence, which have prompted building shoring and some evacuations.
- The groups warn many projects are unlikely to meet the June 30, 2026 completion deadline tied to EU recovery funds, putting significant financing at risk.
- Leaders blame stalled or scaled‑back rehabilitation programs and shifting aid rules, noting only 9 of 20 inspections were completed in La Pau in 2023 and support in Trinitat Vella fell from about 85% to 40%.
- The demands center on urgent structural and social assessments, direct city management of works, affordable public credit lines and provisional housing for displaced families.
