Reporting Neighbours to Dublin Corporation

Eircom_Sucks

i'll try keep it brief

neighbours a few houses down sold their house to the coporation in Aug 2020 , because they were behind on the mortgage

the gardai have consistantly been called on them by other neighbours for drug dealing , cars arriving at all hours and complete scum parking around the corner and walking around to collect drugs and then walk back to the car and piss off , this is pretty much day in and day out

their is a woman in the house who you can hear like a banshee screaming at her bf almost daily and they have a kid also

what would the relevant way to contact the council / coporation be to try get these vermin kicked out ? there is tonnes more to this but no point writing a novel on here

Google Dublin City Council antisocial behaviour and that should give you all the contacts. Have dates and times of incidents.

I have a friend who rented to the council. Council put in nightmare tenants.

They have ruined the whole area. Neighbors are afraid to walk past the apartment or even go out when these scum are outside.

Lots of complaints to the council from management company, neighbours and even from the landlord.

Its being going on about 2 years now and the council have done nothing except from reply saying they are dealing with the issue, which they are not.

Lived in a really nice apartment block in Dublin, DCC owned three apartments there. Two were ok, but nightmare tenants in one; antisocial behaviour, drugs, cars damaged, Garda raids etc.

Management co. pursued the council for ages, but they had literally zero interest in helping. They quote GDPR when you try to engage with them. Their statements about 'taking antisocial behaviour seriously' etc are just spin.

Fact is, once they get people into homes they really don't give a damn, politically, that's their priority. One less number on the housing waiting list etc.

So, I wouldn't get my hopes up. Sorry..

Relax brah

Family had similar experience

Ended up renting out to a young single mother who was storing drugs for local drug dealers. The house was very busy in open day light and they absolutely ruined the neighbourhood

it took three years to get them out and when my family decided to sell the property it got even more ugly with death threats etc

Garda and council unfortunately weren’t the most helpful. Garda claimed to be “keeping an eye on the property” but nothing changed, cctv was installed and destroyed within hours.

Net-net - don’t expect that change anytime quickly. Quickest solution is to get the home owner to sell which will equally bring massive issues to them and will take a long time

Your options are to either move yourself or live with it for years. The councils simply don't evict tenants as it's an exercise in futility for them: as soon as they're evicted, the tenants are back on the priority homeless waiting list and the council get it in the neck from the media for high homeless numbers, the bank balance from having to pay for temporary accommodation (i.e. a hotel) and then from the residents of the new area they place the vermin in.

You could try reporting the drug dealing to Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 which might result in one, or both, of the problem tenants getting locked up? Might soften their cough a little?

We had similar problems with one house in our block. Guards constantly there, junkies, constant drug use. There was an incident where there was a fight one weekend outside the house, samurai swords, windows put in, crazy stuff like. They were evicted the following Monday, after serious pressure was put on the councillors by residents and businesses in the area.

More than likely a relative of one of the Councillors living next door :)

Nobody gets a eviction over a weekend. At best, they were paid to leave or it was coincidental.

As others have said, there is zero incentive for the councils to actually evict bad tenants. The second the sheriff arrives to turf them out, they arrive in the door of the local council offices to be rehoused. Until there is a country wide blacklist they won't do anything. And I don't see how that would work, since you know these "family's" have a lot of children.

Councils cannot just choosecto evict either: they need to convince a judge to grant an eviction order. In some parts of the country, that's almost impossible.

bloody disgraceful, anti social behaviour, especially drug dealing should be met with eviction and just round them up to live in one place, a hell hole, with one way in and out, take the children from them.

Councils dont give a damn if they blight an area with these scum.
