Residents of the Helios building in the Condamine have been asked to arrange a suitable time for workers to gain access to their apartments to check for deficiencies in the plumbing of their bathrooms. The building is occupied by Monegasques.

A letter has been sent to residents saying that plumbers and other specialists will be checking for leaks and installing water filters, following reports of problems in a number of apartments affecting hot water and drainage. The results of the inspections will be communicated individually to tenants and work to repair any defects will be completed by the beginning of December.

Preventative work has already been carried out on six apartments. The building was erected between 2011 and 2013.

There have been extensive problems during this year with plumbing at les Jardins d’Apolline building, also in the Condamine, which in some cases have required the temporary rehousing of tenants.
