Legal notices issued earlier this week reveal that the President of the Municipal Council of the city of Sefrou has adopted a series of administrative decisions ordering the demolition of buildings described as at risk of collapse within the city’s territorial jurisdiction. These measures fall within a preventive and proactive approach aimed at protecting the lives of citizens and safeguarding their property.
According to the information contained in these notices, the decisions concern scattered buildings, including sites in the Kaff Al-Mal neighborhood and other areas of the old medina. Technical reports concluded that these structures pose an imminent danger to the safety of residents, passersby, and neighboring buildings.
The decisions are grounded in legislative and regulatory texts governing urban planning, construction, and public safety, which authorize municipal authorities to intervene urgently when a serious risk is established. Publishing these decisions through legal notices forms part of official notification and enforcement procedures, ensuring public awareness and compliance with due process.
The content of the notices emphasizes that demolition is not intended as a punitive measure, but rather as an urgent preventive action to avert potential collapse risks. The objective is to protect residents and pedestrians, preserve public and private property, and safeguard the city’s urban fabric—particularly in its historic neighborhoods.
The decisions further stress the need to accompany demolition operations with precautionary measures, including:
- Engaging public agencies or specialized contractors and engineering consultancies;
- Fully securing the work perimeter;
- Cutting off water and electricity services before demolition begins;
- Informing and sensitizing neighboring residents to risks and procedures through appropriate signage;
- Coordinating between municipal services, local authorities, and security forces to ensure safe and smooth execution.
This step reflects a proactive approach to managing risks related to deteriorated buildings, underscoring that the protection of human life remains a top priority when dealing with sensitive issues related to housing and public safety.
