The neighbors, according to him, supposedly learned that the works are organized by the same company that sold the apartments in the apartment building, the UAB Etapas. Company representatives, according to Gintas, explained that according to the old plans there was a garage in the place.

“No garage has ever been there, nor can you see it on Google Maps satellite photos. Since the land belongs to the state, apparently they came up with the idea to build / rebuild the building and then acquire the right to privatize the land.” Gintas said.

By selling the apartments in said apartment building, according to the author of the complaint, the representatives of Etapas introduced that a children’s playground would be installed in that place.

“It remains to be seen how the apartment building was ‘delivered’ without a mandatory playground. We request this from the State Building and Territorial Planning Inspectorate (Construction Inspectorate) and the National Land Service (NŽT)”, said the resident of Kaunas that he applied to the editorial office.

He also mentioned the adjacent state-owned garages (owned by Turto bankas), one of which is allegedly used by the same apartment building company.

Permission was not requested from the municipality

Kaunas City Municipality 15 minutes reported that state supervision of construction is carried out by the Construction Inspection. This institution also carries out completion procedures for the construction of multi-apartment residential buildings, so questions about the lack of a playground, according to the municipality, should be directed to it.

“We observed that the land close to the outbuildings (buildings intended to serve the main building, such as warehouses, garages, roofs, etc.) are not formed separately. The plot on which the residential building stands is formed. The project solutions that designed the apartment building did not foresee the construction of any other building on the same lot. There were also no garages in the topographic material. You must inform the Building Inspection about possible arbitrary constructions “, 15 minutes the journalist was advised by the municipality of the city of Kaunas.

Marius Švaikauskas, the elder of the Center, who went to the construction site to inspect the site, stated that after inspecting the municipal database, it was found that a permit had not been issued to carry out works on this site.

Therefore, after registering the fact of a possible illegal construction, we request an investigation from the Construction Inspection ”, 15 minutes reported M.Švaikauskas.

Grupo Etapas has no connections to the adjacent parcel and does not have any assets on it. Only the owners who manage the real estate on the state parcel have the right to redeem the land, ”explained M. Velička regarding the construction and garages on the adjacent parcel.

He said that no one had ever been promised to install a playground near the apartment building under construction. This can be seen from the plot plan, which, as an annex, was attached to the preliminary contracts with the apartment buyers.

“As the parcel is very small, only 7.14 acres, we communicated very clearly up front that we planned to install more parking spaces, which the buyers wanted. After the ‘addition’ of the house, additional parking spaces were installed ( than the standards). They were transferred to apartment buyers. There are at least 3 playgrounds in the park across Vytautas Avenue. If residents now need a playground instead of parking spaces, residents can install it at their expense of a parking lot ”, said the director of Grupo Etapas.

Construction inspection: a garage has been registered

Who is there then and what kind of construction are they doing? Are allowed? Weren’t the residents of the apartment really promised a playground? Is it mandatory?

“Given this, the legality of the work completion law issued on August 16, 2018 will not be examined,” emphasized the representative of the Construction Inspection.

It does not build, but repairs; no permission required

15 minutes The journalist got in touch with Justas Miškinis, director of UAB Sollus. He explained that the company he owned did not carry out the construction of said apartment building, only on June 6, 2019 he bought a garage on a lot adjacent to the apartment building.

“The garage is legal and legal. Its repairs are not sudden or accidental. As it was in a state of emergency, we had planned to repair it last year, but when the cold began, the work had to be postponed. As the weather warmed, the we continue.

As it is a simple building (19 m2 garage), a building permit is not required for the repair, more so, inform the owners of the adjacent plot. All other garage owners made the repairs last year. We just don’t survive the weather.

We had to make repairs because on April 20, 2020 we received a letter from the elders of the Center regarding negligence (for the editorial office, this letter requiring the repair of the emergency garage was sent for information – aut. After sending a Plan of limits with a marked garage owned by the company.

Tomas Bagdonas, a spokesperson for Turto bankas, also tried to bring some clarity to the adjacent plots and the buildings that rise above them. Address Vytauto ave. 71B Turto bankas, according to him, manages two state-owned garages in the garage pool. They will want to sell in the future. Other garages are owned by individuals and the local government.

“The situation with the plot itself is complicated. A few years ago, Turto Bankas took the initiative and applied to the NJT, trying to form a parcel of land to find out which garage owner owns which part of the parcel. Unfortunately, this could not be done because it turned out that part of the garages are not registered, and until the buildings that are on the ground are registered, part of the plot cannot be assigned to them.

Simply put, until the plot is formed, it is unclear which part is owned by which: which is the state, which is autonomous, and which is the population. We contacted the owners of other garages to complete the registration of the buildings. When it is finished, a part of the land will be assigned to each building ”, explained the representative of Turto bankas.

After receiving information from the local population about the possible use of state property, specialists from Turto bankas inspected the state garages. The facts expressed by resident Gintas about the possible illegal use of state assets have not been confirmed.
