Refurbishment of the municipal building in Liesing: residents are waiting longingly!

In the heart of Liesing, you are waiting for long -awaited renovation work of an old community building at Elisenstraße 24–26. The 75 -year -old building not only draws attention to itself through its crumbling facade, but also through the problems that the residents have to endure in their apartments. Extreme temperatures due to poor insulation and already resolved mold shape everyday life uncomfortable for many. The extremely violent flood in September 2022 also tightened the situation, which is why the need for renovation has become all the more urgent. As reported [meinzirk.at] (https://www.meinbezirk.at/liesing/c-lokales/langes-warten-auf-sanung- von-altem-gemebau_a7347983), the comprehensive renovation should begin in 2019, but was postponed by the corona pandemy at an indefinite period.

The patience of the residents is put to the test, because an important modernization is in sight. The Wiener Living property management not only plans a cosmetic refresher, but a comprehensive renovation. Not only thermal renovations and facade insulation are planned, but also the installation of new wood-aluminum windows with sun protection, the construction of four elevators and barrier-free access. In addition, there will also be a redesign of the green areas. The fire protection measures and modern electrical installations are an important aspect of the planned work.

A look at the renovation measures

Preparations for the renovation are already underway, but a start date remains unclear. The tenants should be informed about the planned steps in good time. The need for renovation in the Vienna community building is not new. Wiener Wohnen has specialized in the preservation of the quality of living over the years and relies on continuous maintenance work. In the past five years, 99 residential plants with a total of 17,200 residential units have been thermally renovated. These extensive measures not only bring improvements to the quality of life of the residents, but also ensure jobs, especially in small and medium-sized companies, as on [Wohnberatung-wien.at] (https://wohnberatung-wien.at/news/demeindebau-sanierungen-bauen- der-wohnqualitaet-und-sichert-warbeitsplaetze-1). With over 220,000 municipal apartments and more than 200,000 subsidized apartments,

Vienna has a special responsibility for its residents. Over 60 % of Viennese live in funded or community apartments. According to Wienerwohnen.at, the city of Vienna operates an extensive renovation program, which also provides for the reduction of the renovation cycle to 40 years by 2030. This shows that not only the quality of life, but also the preservation of the social infrastructure is in the foreground.

summarized the example of the community building in Elisenstrasse shows how important the continuous renovation and revitalization of residential complexes is. The measures benefit not only the residents, but also the city itself by contributing to promoting social residential construction in Vienna. The anticipation for the upcoming changes remains great, and the hope is that the long -awaited start of renovation will soon be within reach.
