An alarm was sounded in central Athens after a section of an unoccupied building at 32 Kolokotroni Street collapsed.
Specifically, a section of an unoccupied building collapsed, and reports indicate that part of the roof collapsed. So far, there are no concerns regarding the stability of the building. However, the street has been closed for safety reasons.
According to the same sources, the property is leased by a private individual who has begun the process of obtaining permits from the Ministry of the Environment. Outside the building, there was scaffolding and sheet metal, and part of the sidewalk had been cordoned off. The Fire Department responded to the scene, and crews from the municipality, along with the Deputy Mayor for Technical Services, Paris Charlaftis, have rushed to the site.
