QUESTION NO 13.

QUESTION: Councillor D. O'Brien

To ask the Chief Executive for a report on the current number of Voids on SDCC books at present. The area's they are in and the timeframe on when they will be ready for people to move in to.

REPLY:

As of 1 December 2016 there are 44 voids, under various stages of repair. 

21 voids are North of the Naas Road.   Of these, 7 are ready for allocation with the sign-ups arranged.  Two of these houses require major works to be undertaken on them and 1 is being specially adapted to meet a medical need.  8 properties are undergoing normal relet-works.   The remaining 3 properties are fire damage with 1  fire damaged property needing extensive works. 

23 voids are South of the Naas Road.  Of these, 5 are ready for allocation with sign-ups arranged.  Two properties are extensively fire damaged with a hope to have them back in stock in early February.  The remaining 16 properties are undergoing normal re-lets works, with a view to having as many as possible allocated before Christmas.   

The current average turnaround for a casual vacancy in South Dublin County Council is 9 weeks.   South Dublin County Council does not have any voids that will not be returned to stock.
