The Reconciliation of Building Violations Law No. 17 of 2019 and its
amendments, No. 1 of 2020 were issued with the aim of legalizing
conditions, reconciling building violations, and suspending
judicial disputes related to the building violations. Despite this,
the law failed to achieve these goals, since only 3.3% of its
purposes were achieved, in three and a half years;
This failure was by in large due to the inability to reconcile
the eight types of building violations, namely: regulatory
infringement, height restriction infringement, buildings erected
outside designated urban enclaves, violations of the structural
integrity of the building, violations of buildings and facilities
of distinguished architectural style, buildings exceeding the
height restrictions established by the Civil Aviation Authority or
the requirements of State Defense Affairs, building on State land,
building on lands preserved by the Antiquities Protection and Nile
River Protection Laws,
