The Municipality identified a set of violations and risks expected to occur if they continue, related to design, most notably, the encroachment of rooms or partition walls in the building setbacks, which is considered an encroachment on the sanctity of commercial streets. The Municipality has identified a set of violations and risks expected to occur if they continue, related to design, the most prominent of which are encroachments with rooms or partition walls in the building setbacks, which is an encroachment on the pedestrian route, thus directly compromising the safety of road users, and forcing them to walk in places not intended for walking.
The modification of the use of the pedestrian route is a direct impact on the safety of pedestrians. The repurposing of approved parking spaces within the building's basement leads to accidents that are difficult for equipment to access and address, as well as forcing vehicles to park in undesignated spaces, thus endangering road users.
With regard to the location. With regard to the general location, the absence of a ramp for people with disabilities and parking in front of the ramp would hinder universal access to the building and disrupt the interests of an important segment of society.
The Municipality emphasized that the lack of a ramp for people with disabilities could lead to accidents that would be difficult for equipment to reach and address in the event of an accident. The Municipality emphasized the importance of removing violations of cracks, damage, and visible rust on metal materials in the facades of buildings located on commercial streets, in light of the possibility of collapses in the damaged parts that affect the safety of users of these roads.
It pointed out that the installation of satellite dishes on balconies or building facades should be avoided, especially since the design of these dishes is not suitable for strong winds that would cause them to fly and threaten the safety of individuals.
This is the same as the violation of covering the metal materials on the facades of buildings located on commercial streets. Similarly, the violation of covering balconies with materials that do not match the shape and nature of the building, or using them for storage, as they directly threaten safety either by causing fires, or materials falling on the roads for any reason, etc.
. Jeddah Municipality renewed its warnings against leaving septic tanks exposed in shops, and the resulting risks such as falls, pollution and others, in addition to the need to cover water tanks on the roofs of buildings to save water from any pollutants.
It is noteworthy that it is necessary to cover water tanks on the roofs of buildings to save water from any pollutants. It is worth mentioning that obtaining building compliance certificates electronically and free of charge requires an occupancy certificate for new buildings, the property title deed, the approved building license, and then uploading the application through Baladi platform, and the approval of the Municipality, the Municipality or an accredited engineering office, taking into account that all requirements must be met, while the certificate for new buildings is issued automatically after issuing the occupancy certificate for the building.
Renewal of the certificate for new buildings can be done electronically and free of charge. The building compliance certificate can be renewed through the Baladi platform, by entering the old certificate data and acknowledging the fulfillment of the evaluation elements, while the building owner has the option to submit a technical report from an accredited engineering office indicating that the building meets all the requirements of the compliance certificate.
If the technical report is not submitted, the owner will schedule a field visit through Baladi to inspect the building and verify the validity of the data contained in the application.
The owner will be given the option of submitting a technical report from an accredited engineering office stating that the building meets all the requirements of the certificate of compliance.
