Property owners must adhere to Chapter 2 of the Model Building By-Laws of 1977, ensuring buildings are not health hazards, sources of unpleasant odors, or unsightly. Specifically, owners in Harare CBD and surrounding areas, particularly those notified by the City of Harare, must comply with these standards. Residents can seek guidance from the City of Harare to ensure their buildings meet the required standards.

As we move towards Vision 2030, the rejuvenation of Harare’s buildings is crucial. The upcoming SADC Summit in August highlights the need for our city to be attractive and well-maintained, boosting tourism and economic opportunities. By working together, we can make Harare a city that exceeds Vision 2030 standards, creating a lasting legacy for future generations. This collaborative effort will enhance economic development, restore order, and improve the city’s vibrancy and attractiveness.
