I immediately contacted the City Council and am pleased to have had the following very prompt response from the Team Leader Building Standards:
"I refer to your earlier communication regarding the above and would like to update you as follows. Following an inspection of the property Building Standards have taken emergency action in order to reduce the immediate danger to public safety, barriers have been erected.
The marketing agent has been contacted and advised of the situation however no formal response has yet been received regarding their intentions.
We will contact the agent tomorrow in the hope that they can urge the owners to instruct the necessary remedial measures and we will also remind them of the owners obligation under the Building Scotland Act to maintain their property in safe condition."
