Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze has stated that nine families residing in a condemned building on Tvalchrelidze Street No. 1 are officially registered residents of the city and that the municipality has offered them rental assistance.
Kaladze made the remarks following a statement by the National Bureau of Enforcement, which said the buildings on the site are structurally unsafe and subject to eviction.
“Out of the nine registered families, only two accepted our rental assistance. The others refused,” Kaladze said. He emphasized that City Hall bears no responsibility for the situation, as the property is privately owned and currently subject to legal disputes.
“Some people have illegally settled in the building, which must be vacated due to serious safety concerns. This is like someone unlawfully entering your private home. The court has ruled in favor of the owner, and the building is in critical condition,” the Mayor said.
He added that enforcement actions are based on a court decision, not a municipal initiative.
Earlier today, the National Bureau of Enforcement reported that the building poses a severe threat to residents’ safety, citing a Samkharauli Forensic Expertise report confirming damage to the load-bearing structure and the risk of imminent collapse.
