Zero Zone Crisis: Roads Blocked, Neighbors Evacuated as Poznań Tenement Faces Imminent Collapse

Jeżyce district is on high alert as an old tenement house at Roosevelt Street threatens to collapse, triggering a state of emergency known as “Zero Zone.” Yesterday, massive cracks and severe structural damage were discovered, putting the building on the brink of destruction. The authorities acted swiftly, cordoning off the area and evacuating residents from neighboring buildings, leaving over 30 people without their homes.

Late last night, the Poviat Building Supervision Inspector delivered a chilling verdict: immediate demolition. As bulldozers stand ready, time is of the essence. The deteriorating structure has created chaos in the heart of Poznań, forcing public transport onto alternate routes, shutting down major tram lines, and blocking vital roads.

The tense atmosphere surrounding the scene is palpable. Firefighters and city officials scrambled to protect lives, while displaced residents found refuge in temporary shelters. As the building crumbles, the countdown to its final hours accelerates.

This crisis didn’t happen overnight—it’s a catastrophe waiting to unfold for years. In 2022, the city’s Monuments Conservator ordered the building’s owners to secure the structure, but legal battles dragged on. Now, with court cases unresolved and warnings unheeded, Poznań faces the collapse of a once-historic site.

With every passing moment, the urgency grows. Streets remain silent but tense, as Poznań awaits the inevitable fall of Roosevelt Street’s doomed tenement house.
