Building safety in Hackney

Hackney combines a large stock of post-war residential estates with new mixed-use towers around Dalston, Hackney Wick and the Woodberry Down regeneration.

The local authority in Hackney is the London Borough of Hackney. For higher-risk buildings, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority and holds the register of occupied HRBs - not the London Borough of Hackney.

The remediation picture

As at 30 April 2026, 4,378 residential buildings 11m and over with unsafe cladding were being monitored in the government's remediation programmes across England - 55% had started or completed works. Hackney sits within one of the largest concentrations of these buildings in the country.
