As you walk through the courtyard of house 16 on P. Plechavičiaus street in Kaunas, it is impossible not to notice that the facade of the apartment building is green. Although the house in the Eiguliai district was renovated more than a decade ago, its exterior walls look ugly because it is “decorated” with mold.
A green facade is a big aesthetic problem. Mold, lichens and bacteria are the main culprits, causing the facades to turn gray or green.
“I was surprised to see a five-story house on P. Plechavičiaus street. Obviously it has been renovated once, but the frayed walls look very unappealing. After all, the residents had to pay for the renovation of the apartment building. They are unlikely to be satisfied with the result now, ”a Kaunas family resident told the kauno.diena.lt website.
On Friday, a photographer and I visited the apartment building on P. Plechavičiaus street, marked number 16. We spoke with two of its residents.
One of the men who came up the stairs of the house to smoke outside was not speaking. “I don’t remember when they renovated our house. However, after the renovation, the walls were beautiful for several years, only afterwards a mold appeared on them ”, the man told the portal kauno.diena.lt.
I had to wait a long time for a more chatty resident of the house to appear in the yard. We get this on the next staircase of the apartment building.
This apartment building has been renovated a long time ago, the first in this neighborhood. I cannot say the exact date, but I remember that at that time the Prime Minister of Lithuania was Gediminas Kirkilas.
“This apartment building has been renovated a long time ago, the first of this quarter. I cannot say the exact date, but I remember that at that time the Prime Minister of Lithuania was Gediminas Kirkilas (G. Kirkilas was Prime Minister in 2006- 2008 – Past Aut.) Residents received benefits, so they rushed to renovate. A few years later, the wall of the house was “decorated” with a mold, “said the man who lives in this five-story house on P. Plechavičiaus street.
According to him, with current technology, things probably would have been done better, and then there was a rush, trying to do everything as quickly and cheaply as possible. “Maybe that’s why the mold came out,” said the interlocutor.
He noted that the apartment building next to number 10, which was later renovated, looks great: “Everything is fine there, because the work was done with the latest technology.”
When asked if the residents do not promise to renovate the apartment building again, the man replied, “No, because it would be expensive, and the house is home to many retirees, they have no money.”
On the other hand, the Kaunas resident did not complain about the green facade of the house:
The walls of the house are moldy on the side where there is never sun. From the south side the building looks normal, only the paint has peeled off from the southwest side.
We remind you that the renovation of apartment buildings in Lithuania started in 2005.
