One of the properties has been empty since 2006
Four empty homes, including a five-apartment house in Penilee which attracts anti-social behaviour, could be bought by thecompulsory purchase orders [CPO] on properties in the south of the city. They are the latest in a series of CPOs which have been pursued to turn “unfit homes” into social housing.
The home at 73 Rylees Crescent, Penilee, has been empty since September 2006, council officials have reported. Govanhill Housing Association has offered to buy the property, which is in a poor condition, but the owner has refused to sell. Flat 2/2 at 4 Melville Street, Pollokshields, was the subject of “statutory intervention” after “the failure of owners to carry out essential common repairs voluntarily when the buildings fell into a state of serious disrepair”, officials said.
It would also take over the management of flat 0/4 94 Allison Street, where the council has been unsuccessful in attempts to track down the owner. That property has been “lying abandoned for a number of years and is in poor condition”. “Carrying out a CPO can be a long and complicated process but our dedicated team of officers are continuously identifying unused houses and flats and working without housing association partners to transform them into homes.”
