Monitoring of the built environment
The Building Act obliges municipal building control authorities to monitor the condition of the built environment within their jurisdiction. Tuusula Building Control monitors the condition of the built environment in accordance with its resources.
If you notice a building in poor condition or an untidy yard in your neighbourhood, you can submit a written report to the building control authority. We will contact the property owner. A tidy built environment requires cooperation between the authorities and residents. Please note that the matter will become public as soon as the report is received by the building control department.
The request for action or report must contain the following information:
- name and contact details of the person making the request/notification
- address and other identifying details of the property to be monitored
- measures required in the matter
- justification for the requirement
- information about the relationship of the person making the request/report to the matter (neighbour, passer-by or something else).
The Building Control Department does not process anonymous requests/reports except in exceptional cases where the interest to be monitored is significant. Nor do we investigate anonymous letters sent to another municipal authority, which this authority forwards to the Building Control Department.
If the matter is significant in terms of public interest, we will intervene on the basis of any request or report made by anyone. Naturally, we will also intervene on the basis of our own observations.
If, after visiting the site and conducting further investigations, the building control authority initiates supervisory measures, we will attach a copy of the request for action/report to the notice/inspection statement to be sent to the party subject to supervision.
If the person making the request/report is unable to do so in writing due to an injury or similar reason, the Building Control Agency may accept the request or report verbally. The person in question must provide the above-mentioned information, which the Building Control Agency official/employee will record in the document to be drawn up.
Send your request for action/report to:
Tuusula Municipality / Building Control
PO Box 60
04301 Tuusula
Email address: rakennusvalvonta@tuusula.fi
If the matter conce s littering in accordance with environmental legislation, we will refer the case to the Central Uusimaa Environmental Centre.
