Over 12,000 council homes have been bought up to government quality standards after a £157m town hall investment.
Dundee City Council said it was 'over the moon' after a decade of unprecedented investment improved the energy efficiency, security and facilities in its entire housing stock to reach Scottish Housing Quality Standard (SHQS).
The local authority has installed 11,329 kitchens, 10,163 bathrooms and 10,575 central heating systems into local homes over the past 10 years.
More than 1,000 local tenants and owners in multi-story developments have now received external insulation and district heating systems while a further 536 low-rise properties have been externally insulated.
The majority of Dundee's social properties are flats, with almost a quarter being made up of cottage type homes and 16% maisonettes or multi-maisonettes.
However the council said the age of its housing stock posed a challenge for meeting SHQS standards, with over half of local social residences being at least 65 years old and a third built between 1950 and 1971.
John Alexander convener of the council's housing committee said: 'We've undertaken the biggest investment ever seen in public sector housing in Dundee, in order to improve the overall standard of all of our properties.
'I am over the moon that we have been able to not only to meet the tough criteria set down by the Scottish Government, but to do so on time and in a way that has been welcomed by our tenants is even more impressive.
'However meeting the standard is not the end of the process we have lifecycle maintenance over all of our properties to make sure that tenants' homes will continue to be in a good state of repair.'
