Empty dream villa in Hamburg: District office remains idle!

Empty dream villa in Hamburg: District office remains idle!

Johnsallee, 20149 Hamburg, Deutschland - In Hamburg, an empty villa in the Rotherbaum district causes excitement. Since 2018, the imposing building on Johnsallee, which has an impressive 630 square meter living space, has been unused. Like NDR, the city has a strict housing protection law, but the districts have difficulties to enforce this. After more than four months of vacancy, the authority can force the owner to use the living space. However, the District Office Eimsbüttel has so far been after sanctions, since the owner, most recently localized in Georgia, is difficult to determine.

The criticism of this approach does not fail to do: The association "Tenants help tenants" demands that the city meet its responsibility and makes the living space actively usable again. Lawyer Rebekka on the Kampe criticizes that the law does not see any exceptions to large apartments. A possible solution could be in the division of the area into smaller units. It is interesting that the Hamburg broker Jorge F. von Lenthe announced that the villa on behalf of the owner for sale.
