Mold album in Viennese community apartments: families despair!

A shattering situation in Vienna shows itself in two sad fates of families suffering from community apartments that suffer from mold. A young family from Wien-Währing turned on the public prosecutor after she found after moving in the summer of 2024 that the old windows in her house are not only leaking, but also the cause of the mold problem. The public prosecutor Gaby Schwarz sharply criticizes the refusal of "Wiener Wohnen" to exchange windows and refers to the health risk of the residents, especially for the small child. According to the family, the situation is unbearable: "The wood is rotten, the windows cannot be closed properly, and the moisture constantly causes mold," reports the desperate mother, who fires that the windows must be exchanged to stay healthy, as it is in a report from ots.at means.

In another shocking story, a Syrian family lives in Vienna favorites under equally critical conditions. This family with three children is over two years in an apartment that is very affected by mold. The health consequences are serious: the children are permanently coughing and already show lung problems. The situation is so serious that the mother spends them out all day to keep her away from the moldy apartment. The responsible residential building company initially refused to cover the costs for mold removal, since it pushes the cause of mold formation on unfavorable indoor climate values-this reports Today.at .

Despite a mold removal offered in his part, which did not bring the hoped -for improvement in the living conditions, the family remains desperate. The extremely high humidity of over 77 percent and the cold walls continue to lead to new molds, which forced the tenant to act against the pressing problem himself. In this depressing situation, the tenants must take responsibility for the elimination of the mold, while the urgency of their situation continues to be ignored.
