Leeside Apartments renovation row: Tenants call on HSA to probe renovations

Residents fighting vulture-fund ‘renovictions’ have asked the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) to investigate renovations.

The tenants of Leeside Apartments on Cork’s Bachelor’s Quay said the works , underway before the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) rules on their appeals against eviction, have made living conditions unbearable.

They said while builders are doing extensive work in unoccupied areas, they are also working in partially occupied sections. They said skylights have been left open round the clock, allowing rain to flood stairwells, and said windows have been removed in places, exposing communal areas to the elements.
