One of the most immediate and life-threatening consequences of unauthorized construction is the disregard for technical and engineering standards mandated by national building codes. Buildings erected without proper oversight or by unqualified personnel are inherently structurally compromised, rendering them highly vulnerable to natural disasters like earthquakes. Tragically, the collapse of the Metropol Tower in Abadan served as a devastating recent reminder of the catastrophic human cost of widespread regulatory failure and unmonitored structural deviations.
