After three floors of a seven-storey building collapsed in Istanbul, Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) data shows the city has 1,238 buildings at risk of collapsing on their own.

After the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes, about 170,000 applications had been made for rapid screening tests, and inspections had been carried out in 40,000 buildings. Of the pre-1999 structures tested, 18,800 were found to be at high or very high risk.
