Domestic impotence: apartments without gas and light were given to disabled people and large families in Shymkent

04/19/2023

In Shymkent, disabled people and large families were settled in a house in which it is impossible to live. People have received rental apartments where there is no gas and electricity. You even have to cook outside. The new settlers blame the developer for their troubles. It turned out that he was extending communications to a high-rise building without permission. Outraged residents tried to solve the problem in the akimat, reports Tengrinews.kz with reference to ktk.kz .

The nine-storey building in the area of Shymkent was built three years ago. And last fall, the first residents began to come here – disabled people, large and single-parent families. They received apartments on lease. But, it turned out, it's not easy to live here: there is no gas in the new building, and water and electricity disappear almost every day. People had to adapt. They built a stove right on the street and cook food here.

«For 10 houses, this one is a titan. The lights are turned off all the time, we turn on this equipment, but while we bring food to the apartment, it cools down. While we were waiting for gas, we now have no light at all. It's just some kind of mockery. You won't invite guests – where to cook?! And I have only disabled people in my family,» says Gulnar Zhantayeva.


If earlier the electricity was turned off for a while, now it is not even worth waiting for it in the near future, residents are sure. It turned out that the developer built the house without the necessary permits. And now he has to fix everything. The locals have already been warned that there will be no light until at least the end of the month.

«They started to find out why the lights were turned off. It turned out that we don't even have a personal account. And now they say that the electricity will not be supplied for the next 20 days. We make claims to the developer, and he replies that we also need to thank him for having built this house. Who doesn't like it, let them move to an elite house, he says,» says Shaizada Rakhmetova.

Residents would be happy to move, but even this rental housing was not easy for them: they received apartments after standing in line for many years. Among other things, people have complaints about the quality of construction. They claim that it is unbearably cold there in winter. And there are no conditions at all for the disabled.

«There are a lot of disabled people living here. It was possible to build ramps. At least the pieces of iron were installed so that it was possible to climb,» Aigul Yugai believes.

Tired of the unbearable conditions, the residents went to the akimat together today. Officials explained: the gas will be connected when all five high-rise buildings are occupied. But electricity is promised in the coming days, despite problems with documents.

«During this week we will put all the documents in order. Let's go to each apartment and fix all the shortcomings. Then, on the basis of this, we will carry out work and correct it,» said Madiyar Bayymbetov, head of the construction department of the Akimat of Shymkent.

Officials assured that the developer will eliminate all the shortcomings. The warranty period is valid until the end of this year. Therefore, the construction company will again carry out all the necessary repairs at its own expense.
