A professional inspection of the historic Riff House in Brumath has revealed significant structural issues throughout the building. An architect and engineer who recently toured the property described extensive internal problems that require immediate attention.
The assessment was conducted as part of an ongoing evaluation of the building's condition and future viability. The experts examined various aspects of the structure, from foundation to roof, documenting their findings room by room. Their professional opinion indicates that the building's internal systems and structural elements have deteriorated significantly over time.
During the inspection, the specialists noted multiple areas of concern that affect the building's safety and habitability. The phrase "everything is sick inside" was used to characterize the overall condition, suggesting widespread issues rather than isolated problems. This comprehensive assessment will likely influence decisions about the building's restoration or potential demolition.
The Riff House inspection is part of broader urban development discussions affecting multiple cities in the Alsace region, including Strasbourg, Haguenau, Sélestat, Saverne, Wissembourg, Colmar, Mulhouse, and Saint-Louis. Local authorities are expected to use these professional findings to determine the next steps for this historic property.
