The town hall of Saint-Just is calling on property owners to take measures to limit pigeon nesting, as their proliferation is causing significant nuisances for residents.

Faced with the proliferation of pigeons, which find refuge in numerous unoccupied buildings, the town hall of Saint-Just is launching an appeal for property owners to mobilize. These birds, whose presence may initially seem harmless, can quickly become a source of significant nuisance for residents.
Among the cited inconveniences are the accumulation of droppings, the presence of dead birds, damage to facades and roofs, clogged gutters that can lead to water infiltration, and reduced efficiency of photovoltaic panels. These issues affect the quality of life for inhabitants and can incur substantial maintenance and repair costs.
The municipality therefore invites owners of buildings likely to house pigeons to implement appropriate solutions, in compliance with regulations and animal welfare, to address the situation and prevent further nuisances.
The town hall, for its part, is identifying the affected buildings to contact their owners and raise awareness about the need for intervention. It assures it will remain vigilant regarding the situation's evolution and will closely monitor this issue to ensure solutions are implemented promptly. The preservation of the living environment is presented as a collective effort, requiring the mobilization of property owners in conjunction with the town hall.
