Open address data helps Vienna’s building owners check their next
steps
Understanding which rules apply to a building can take time,
especially when requirements depend on when it was built.
Vienna’s Bauwerksbuch Fristencheck Wien
[https://dein-bauwerksbuch.wien/bauwerksbuch-check.html] offers
property owners and managers a starting point. The free application
helps users check whether their building may need a statutory building
logbook and which deadlines may apply. A building logbook documents
the building and sets out inspections of safety-related parts.

Developed by a Vienna-based building specialist, the application
combines information entered by users with rules based on the Vienna
Building Code
[https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/GeltendeFassung.wxe?Abfrage=LrW&Gesetzesnummer=20000006].
Users provide the construction year and can add details about the
building’s size and existing documentation. While it does not
replace an individual legal or technical assessment, the check gives
an initial indication of the relevant requirements or deadlines.

Open data supports the address-checking step. The application reuses
the City of Vienna’s Adressen Standorte Wien dataset
[https://www.data.gv.at/katalog/dataset/1d5c2411-9719-4c8f-b99d-57a5f4a4ae41],
allowing users to select and check an official address. The
construction year comes from the user, rather than the address
dataset. The example shows how a public dataset can support one
practical part of a service, alongside other information, to make a
task easier.

Want to see how the check works? Visit the application

learn more about the open data behind it.
