Vandalism has led to backlog of repairs and maintenance in housing infrastructure development, causing hindrance to a sustainable development in the Lagos metropolis, Nigeria. This study analyzed the types of vandalism impacting housing infrastructure development and identified vulnerable housing amenities in the study area. An online survey of 125 building industry professionals was conducted using a standardized questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The study findings revealed that among the vandalism types identified by the respondents, only protest, and acquisitive vandalism were statistically significant to housing infrastructure development vandalism in the study area, with significant rates of 0.012, and 0.011, respectively, while their vandalism impact values were -0.540, and 0.539, respectively. Moreover, Electrical Fittings and Installations, and Aluminium frames, were the housing amenities vulnerable to vandalism targets, with vulnerability rates of 0.5584 and 0.3584, respectively. The study concluded that protest and acquisitive vandalism contributed to housing infrastructure development vandalism in the study area. Likewise, electrical, and aluminium amenities were the targets of the vandals in housing development projects, in the absence of capable guardianship in the study area. The study’s findings will help policymakers and stakeholders in the study area and other developing cities create effective policies and strategies to protect public infrastructure and ensure safety. It also fills a research gap on the types and effects of vandalism in housing development, guiding strategic planning and resource allocation for security measures.
