The subject of degraded condominiums and their management by trustees, Olivier Klein, mayor of Clichy-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis), knows it well. It must be said that in this city of Seine-Saint-Denis, of nearly 30,000 inhabitants, “all the condominiums are under surveillance with devices from Anah (National Agency for Housing Development) and the Anru (National Agency for Urban Renovation) is the main problem in Clichy ”.
Moreover the municipality considers to be “at the height of the intervention, insists the elected. We even managed the heating season for Chêne-Pointu. [1 500 logements au centre-ville, souvent présentée comme la copropriété la plus dégradée de France] and to direct the heating cooperative to turn on the heating. Concretely, the city has taken over from everyone to pay the heating costs.
Intrinsically, it is also the subject of the trustees which is on the table. “I have seen some who were not up to the complexities of a fragile co-ownership and were content to cash their benefit,” describes the mayor. However, special skills are needed to support fragile condominiums. We have a few condominium trustees with whom we have had bad experiences and others with whom we work as best as possible. Today, when a union council brings up the idea of changing trustees, I have a small list to propose, after which it’s up to the copro ‘to see. “
The subject is “complex”, he insists. Even the appointment of a judicial administrator decided by the court, as the mayor of Villiers-le-Bel wished to do, without success, is not a guarantee.
For Olivier Klein, “it is not a solution in itself. Le Chêne-Pointu has benefited from it for years but it has not improved, it is not a miracle recipe. »Are there solutions? “Within the framework of the Alur law, a qualification has appeared which is called recovery manager which allows to have a certain number of specific skills to support fragile condominiums either in the safeguard plan, in the programmed housing operation, Olivier Klein. And, there is membership in FNAIM [Fédération nationale de l’immobilier] which can be a good guarantee concerning a trustee. “
