The responsibility for solving residential health problems belongs primarily to the owner of the dwelling or property. In terraced houses and blocks of flats the property manager is responsible for practical matters. The health inspector may inspect the dwelling on demand. Preliminary measurements related to dwelling inspections are free of charge.
There may be a queue of several weeks for dwelling inspections. The health inspector will contact the owner or property manager of the dwelling before the inspection, so that they can be given a possibility to take immediate measures in mending the defects or damages that are causing health hazards. The owner and property manager of the dwelling also have the possibility to participate in the inspection of the dwelling.
Turku City Environmental Health Care offers guidance in matters related to residential health regardless of the form of the housing.
