MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

That this Area Committee agrees to investigate if structural defects are causing the incidents of damp and mould in apartments of the Round Gardens complex off Garters Lane in Saggart which is owned by SDCC.

REPORT:

The Council has received six reports of damp and mould at Round Gardens since 2023. Our maintenance team have carried out inspections and have completed internal remedial works to rectify the issues reported. We are currently not aware of any structural issues at this development

South Dublin County Council is in a long term lease arrangement for 26 apartments with the owners of Round Gardens, Saggart since 2019. Under the terms of a long term lease, any structural issues with a property are the responsibility of the landlord to remedy. In this regard the landlord has been requested to complete an inspection at this development and complete any repairs necessary. 

We will continue to deal with maintenance issues when reported on a case by case basis.
