Fear in the council estate: gangs of youths and littering
Tenants of the Karl-Wrba-Hof in Vienna-Favoriten complain about vandalism and littering. This is causing sleepless nights. The ÖVP demands rapid support.
It has been a long time since Ms. N. has slept through the night. Gangs of youths who terrorize the tenants of the Karl-Wrba-Hof are to blame. "I've lived here for 25 years, but things have been getting worse recently," reports N. Her apartment door is regularly kicked in or eggs are thrown. Most recently, a stone flew through the window. "My child and I are just more scared," says the tenant. She has often considered moving out, but she can't as long as her daughter is still living with her. The nearest police station is next door, but it closes at 7 pm.
Garbage in the corridors attracts vermin
But that's not the only problem in the council estate in Favoriten. The extreme soiling is also a problem for the residents. The walls are sprayed, garbage is not disposed of in the garbage room, but in the middle of the complex. This attracts vermin; N. has never once found a dead rat in the corridor. "The problem is that many migrants live here who can't read the signs," says the Viennese tenant.
The tenant receives support from the ÖVP. "The conditions described to me in the housing complex in the 10th district are unbearable: the residents urgently need help," says ÖVP regional party chairman Karl Mahrer.
The conditions in the housing complex are intolerable, ranging from a plague of rats to gangs of youths who downright bully residents.

Wiener Wohnen says: "Wiener Wohnen is aware of the garbage problem in Karl-Wrba-Hof and it is mainly due to the careless use of the garbage areas by a few residents. Enforcement officers patrol the residential complex several times a week and are also authorized to issue fines. We have not received any reports of gangs of youths roaming the residential complex."
