After multiple violations of building regulations, the building authority today shut down a construction site in an occupied residential building in Vienna-Fünfhaus. The builder continued to ignore the requirements despite multiple official shutdowns of the site and unlawfully continued the construction work.

Illegal Workers and Reports: Immediate Action Group Shuts Down Construction Site in Vienna 15

Today's action was carried out under the leadership of the Immediate Action Group in cooperation with the Vienna Police, the Financial Police, MA 06 (Accounting and Taxation), and MA 37 (Building Police).

During the inspection, the officers encountered two illegally employed workers. In addition, two reports were filed under the Working Hours Act and one report under the Trade Regulation Act, as the required trade was not registered. To prevent further illegal construction activities, the authority sealed all access points to the construction site. Furthermore, the construction crane and the freight elevator were shut down.

"Serious Risk for Construction Workers and Residents"

Walter Hillerer, head of the Immediate Action Group, emphasizes: "The repeated disregard of official requirements and labor law regulations poses a serious risk for the construction workers and residents. Anyone who builds illegally will have their construction site shut down until all requirements are met."
