Belluno, “Public offices still by appointment, it has become impossible for us to work”

After the emergency for Covid, surveyors and industrial experts denounce: “Lottery to make appointments”

THE CASE. «Why does a public office, therefore at the service of citizens and paid for by citizens, still not allow access to its premises? The Covid emergency is over, yet here we continue to limit the number of people who can enter this premises “.

The Belluno professionals who deal with the Land Registry, Conservatory and Registry Offices are exasperated. And not only. Since the Coronavirus broke out two years ago, accessing these institutions has become increasingly complicated. «The land registry can be accessed twice a week and for only twenty minutes. Just think that from 10 March 2020 to the following May the offices were completely closed “, explain the situation Paolo Vaccari, president of the college of surveyors and Andrea Franco councilor of the Order of Industrial Experts.

And what about the Conservatory where access takes place three days a week for half an hour and a sort of lottery has been set up in order to make the appointment? «On alternate days it is possible to book online access for the next fifteenth day. And the opening of reservations takes place at midnight. Too bad that after five minutes all the seats are finished. And so we have to wait two days to try to make another appointment and in the meantime time passes and so a practice takes months “, explain the two professionals who then add:” Without considering that if one has managed to have an appointment to consult some cards and while reading he realizes that that document refers to another, it is not possible to access it on that day. Need another reservation. We are really absurd ». Furthermore, direct access to the registry office is no longer possible for certain files.

The College of Surveyors and the Order of Industrial Experts have tried in these two years to understand the reason for the difficulty of access. “We even went to the prefect of Belluno to illustrate our difficulties. It is not possible that, even now, with the state of emergency over, we continue to proceed by appointment and in a few days a week. We have written several times to the director of the land registry in recent days to have a new meeting “, also underlines the president of the industrial experts, Chiara Giozzet,” and we await an answer. In recent months we were told that the shortage of staff in these offices combined with the fact that the future will be the digitization of practices will lead to more and more restricting access to offices. But there are documents that we must consult, find, verify. Let’s just think of notarial deeds of sale: to be able to stipulate it, it is necessary to check in the Conservatory that the building in question has not been modified over time or whether the changes have been reported. We cannot pay for any critical issues that we have not been able to detect because we have been prevented from accessing. Our customers need their practices to go forward », say Franco and Vaccari.

And what shouldor a professional who comes from Cortina would say “forced to travel an hour and a half to stay half an hour or twenty minutes in the office and maybe even come back after 15 days to complete the checks”.

«By now working like this has become impossible», surveyors and industrial experts raise their arms.
