Who cleans dust from construction next door?« Back to Previous Page

The issue of construction dust is indeed something that can affect the indoor air quality and cleanliness of your home. In Dubai/UAE, building regulations do state that developers and contractors are responsible for managing dust from construction sites to minimize disturbance to residents. However, these regulations typically only apply during active construction phases.

In your case, you've noticed an ongoing issue with dust even after the initial construction period. This could be due to several factors including poor sealing of the site or inadequate measures by the developers in place when work ended.

As a tenant, it is reasonable for you to expect some level of cleanliness and comfort within your home. While you can certainly clean up the dust yourself, if this issue persists despite your efforts, you might need to take further steps.

Firstly, I recommend reaching out to the construction site management or the developer. They are typically responsible for maintaining a certain standard of cleanliness around their sites and could provide cleaning services or suggest methods to manage dust better.

If no progress is made or if the issue continues to affect your living environment, it might be wise to consider hiring an independent environmental inspection service like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for their assistance). They can provide a professional evaluation of the situation and offer remediation solutions.

Moreover, you could also contact the relevant authorities such as the Dubai Municipality. They have regulations in place to ensure that developers adhere to environmental standards during construction phases. Reporting the issue to them may prompt further action from both the developer and site management.

Remember, dust can cause health issues especially for children and those with allergies or respiratory problems. Taking proactive steps to address this matter is crucial not only for your peace of mind but also for your family's well-being.

In summary, while you should take the initiative in keeping your home clean, it’s important that all responsible parties (the developer, site management, and possibly even local authorities) are aware of the situation. A professional inspection might be necessary to fully understand the extent of the problem and find a lasting solution.
