TV treated at full volume, chair feet that scrape the floor, neighbors from above to heavy footsteps … The resolution of these noise pollutionordinary neighborhood disturbances, remains the daily newspaper of the teams of Alain Bessaha, director general of the Parisian surveillance interpoil (GPIS), which watches out of 150,000 social housing of the capital, from the 10th to the 20th arrondissement. But management of narcotrafic is now invited into the missions of this economic interest group created 20 years ago and funded by 12 social landlords Parisians.
And for good reason: “From now on, No territory escapes drug trafficking, no social landlord present today in the room can say that there is no deal ”assures Isabelle Rueff, Director General of the lessor Alpes Isère Habitat, this Wednesday, September 24 at the HLM congress, during a round table on security and tranquility. That which also presides over the HLM Institute of CSR (Social and Environmental Responsibility) observes “a Huge generalization of drug trafficking And associated violence, violence which becomes free and which now serves less to keep ground than to make images ”.

Impact on the quality of life of tenants
A phenomenon which, underlines Isabelle Rueff, “First impact the tenants, their quality of life, their freedom to circulate”then social landlords, which “”pay for repairs very dear»» Damage caused by drug trafficking, such as immobilized elevators to store “goods”, as also happens in private condominiums. Faced with this “Generalization, internationalization and uberization of drug trafficking”according to the words of Isabelle Rueff, the social landlords work of course with the police stations and the prosecution (public prosecutor), says Emmanuelle Copin, deputy director general in charge of proximity at Paris Habitat.

Video surveillance, not an end in itself
With a deterrent objective but also to facilitate the collection of evidence, social landlords can install devices of video surveillance In the entrance halls, parking lots and other common areas of their residences. They also associate themselves with local communities – cities, for example – to set up video protection near their residences, on the public highway this time. “In terms of video surveillance, we go carefully. For many tenants, it would be the magic response to the disorders when it is actually ofone more tool, no end in itself “nuance Emmanuelle Copin.
The expulsion arrives as a last resort. The law of June 13 “Taking France out of the trap of drug trafficking” provides for the possibility, for the prefect noting the actions of a tenant in connection with the drug trafficking, to enjoin his lessor to carry out the lease. “Of the evictions For disorders, we have always made it, they represent half of the rental evictions. But it doesn’t always work because people come back ”, relativize Emmanuelle Copin. Not in accommodation but in the field of troubles.
