The Minister of Development, Marcel-Alexandru Stoica, issued an order to clarify legal interpretations regarding unauthorized closed balconies. The new law has caused public confusion about the legal status of these structures. The order specifies that unauthorized interventions on balconies do not render the entire building illegal, and thus, increased taxes do not apply. Additionally, penalties for past violations are not retroactive, and owners can regularize their balconies without excessive fees. The law aims to ensure safety rather than impose punitive measures, and local authorities are not required to inventory unauthorized balconies.
