What happened
Unannounced inspections by Egypt's Ministry of Local Development and Environment in Cairo's El Marg and Ain Shams districts, reported by Daily News Egypt on 5 July 2026, found a building on Ismail El-Fangary Street in Ain Shams built entirely without a permit, and a building on Sidi Bilal Street licensed for a basement, ground, mezzanine and three upper floors to which the owner had added floors up to the ninth storey. Demolition of both was ordered or begun, with legal measures against those responsible. In El Marg, inspectors found irregularities in building-reconciliation files, delays in responding to monitoring reports, and failure by the housing administration to act early against illegal construction; those cases and the officials concerned were referred to prosecution.
