Police have put up tape to prevent people from passing through the scene until the broken balcony is removed from the hotel
Airborne” remains for one more day the concrete balcony that has broken and detached from the facade of a hotel on Syngrou Street, endangering passers-by in a highly touristic area near the Acropolis.
Although the dangerous event was noticed last Friday night, January 20, the owners of the building have not removed it from the hotel either with the assistance of the fire department or special crews.
“According to information, the adjacent rooms have also been evacuated, and let’s just say that the balcony has become… a spectacle. Citizens are coming and taking pictures,” reported ERT reporter Mary Skandali, who was at the scene.
The damage was done to one of old construction hotel in L. Sygrou, which despite the detachment of the balcony continues to operate. The good thing is that at the time, for unknown reasons, the cement holding it broke, no one was passing by.
Police have put up tape to prevent people from passing through the ‘floating balcony’ site until a final solution is given to remove it from the building.
The “Ellinis” hotel, as stated on its website, is renovated and has “building facilities of high standards”.
