The apartment building situated at 5 Decebal Blvd, which consists of 93 apartments, is deprived of utilities. It does not have an adjoining area or a playground. The Chisinau City Hall was sued in this case, but the court rejected the complaint.
In a news conference at IPN, Galina Albot, the head of the association of dwellers, said the local authorities show indifference. “They consider the residents do not need garbage bins or something else. They should stay only inside the block and in the area from under the block and should not have a playground. In accordance with the Law on Condominium, the block must have an adjoining area for utilities. The City Hall ignored us and we went to court, but the court rejected our complaint. So, we do not have the right to grass, to anything,” sated Galina Albot.
The block at 5 Decebal Blvd earlier belonged to the state-run enterprise “Moldova’s Railways”. The building had an annex with several floors. At a certain stage, the annex became private property of a building company that demolished it so as to erect an apartment building in its place.
The dwellers are also concerned that the demolition and building works executed near their block will endanger the integrity of their apartments as the permissive documents were issued with multiple violations, said Galina Albot, who is supported by the lawyer for the dwellers Artur Macovei. “They do not have an institution that would defend them. If things continue like this, a tragedy will happen and no one will bear responsibility for this,” added the head of the association of dwellers.
Galina Albot addressed a message to building companies. “I want to ask them if honor and dignity are strange to them. Do they feel fine when they go and bribe and humiliate themselves? Isn’t it better to respect oneself and those around, while the Republic of Moldova to be represented by the state institutions? We do not need a war or a pandemic as the incompetence, indifference and corruption exterminate the citizens of this country better than them”.
