Tenants on Weißenböckstraße in Vienna are desperate: First they were forcibly relocated and now they have been waiting for 1.5 years to return to their apartments. But that could take some time. 

Almost exactly 1.5 years ago, the residents of the Weißenböck estate in Simmering received the shock news: they had to move out from one day to the next. The reason: their apartments were in acute danger of collapsing. Around twelve parties were affected and the tenants were moved into alternative accommodation.
