The "big slabs", some them prefabricated, block flats from the communist era are still safe, according to the Building Research Institute which conducted inspections and tests on a few hundred of such buildings. These so-called big slab blocks consist of 4 million apartments which are home to over 12 million Poles. Although they were intended to stand for only a limited number of years, many of them could still serve future generations.
