Cada zona de Madrid tiene sus propias patologías. Estas son las que detectamos más en Centro:
Instalaciones eléctricas sin actualizar desde los años 60–70 — cuadros y cableado que no cumplen el REBT actual.
Humedades for capilaridad en plantas bajas — frecuentes en el casco histórico sin barrera impermeable.
Fisuras en muros de carga — en edificios de principios del siglo XX con movimientos estructurales.
Centro es el Madrid más antiguo: un trazado de calles estrechas heredado de la villa medieval y del Madrid de los Austrias, con un caserío levantado sobre todo entre los siglos XVIII y XIX. Predominan los muros de carga de ladrillo o de fábrica mixta, los forjados y las escaleras de madera. En Lavapiés y Embajadores aún quedan corralas con corredores abiertos al patio; en Malasaña, Chueca o Las Letras abundan los edificios de vecinos de pocas plantas, con pisos pequeños, muchos interiores, y buhardillas bajo cubierta.
Comprar en Centro suele significar un edificio centenario, a menudo sin ascensor o con uno añadido después en el hueco de la escalera. En la visita, fíjate en la luz y la ventilación si el piso es interior, y en el estado del portal y la escalera. La inspección técnica inspecciona los forjados de madera (flechas, carcoma o termitas), las humedades for capilaridad en plantas bajas y la instalación eléctrica. Comprueba también si el edificio está protegido en el catálogo municipal, lo que condiciona las obras, y si la ITE está al día.
Lavapiés — Corralas y edificios de vecinos de los siglos XVIII y XIX; inspecciona forjados y corredores de madera, humedades en planta baja y la instalación eléctrica.
Malasaña — Edificios del siglo XIX con pisos pequeños y muchos interiores; comprueba la luz y la ventilación, los forjados de madera, las bajantes y si hay ascensor o está previsto.
Las Letras — Caserío histórico de calles estrechas con muchos edificios protegidos; consulta qué obras permite el catálogo y inspecciona cubiertas, buhardillas y humedades.
