Report a dangerous structure

If you are aware of a public or privately owned building or structure in Sheffield that could pose a potential hazard you can report it to us. 

We will carry out an inspection and take any necessary action to sort the problem out.  Examples of incidents that may cause a hazard to the public or their property are:

• badly maintained boundary or retaining walls adjacent to a general public right of way
• buildings with loose slates that may fall into the street
• unoccupied premises that may have become unsafe due to vandalism
• trees which may have become unsafe due to adverse weather conditions

However, we don’t deal with everything that is unsafe, for example:

• timber fences
• domestic garden sheds
• external parts of a building or structure that would fall into private rear gardens
