Israeli land enforcement authorities conducted a large-scale inspection of residential balconies in the ultra-Orthodox city of Bnei Brak amid concerns over possible structural dangers.
Officials said roughly 6,500 balconies were surveyed across the city.
About 2,500 balconies in 1,250 buildings were flagged in the initial stage as potentially hazardous.
Authorities said enforcement actions could follow, including possible demolition orders for balconies found to be unsafe or illegally built.
I remember years and years ago when I first started noticing them and wondering about them. A friend told me that they don't ask for permission from the city. They hire contruction guys who couldn't care less about safety standards and just get them built.
