Classical negligence
Located far from the busy A.Juozapavičiaus street, the house marked with the number 48B recalls the old days of the tsar. Although the red brick building is not on the list of protected heritage sites, the site is classified as a heritage site. However, the details mentioned do not affect the proper care given to the house.
The residents of the house no longer remember exactly if they chose or if someone chose to have their house managed by the Urbanization. The friendship between the residents and the company that runs the house, not only unhappy but disappointing, lasted more than a decade.
“We have a beautiful house, but it is collapsing and abandoned, I will say, due to the negligence of the housing manager and the total lack of communication with the community,” said Dr. Vytautas Magnus University professor who lives in this house. Justinas Kisieliauskas.
Since these are not empty words, residents point to a “masterpiece” near the house, a protective fence, which cost residents nearly 700 euros. The coniferous roof, clogged with pollen, leaves, and other debris, became a perfect medium for the growth of birch trees.
You don’t have to be a great specialist to understand that kept clean and downspouts would have prolonged the life of the house, which gradually began to crumble on the asphalt of the shelter. According to residents, Būsto valda calculated that the replacement of the roof would separate some 80,000 people. euros The amount does not decrease and must be paid immediately.
“Our home community doesn’t have a chance to do that. The amount is large and the majority of the household’s population is older and the money in their pockets is not really ripped. Then we decided that maybe we could change the roof and get better. the condition of the house through renovation, “said J. Kisieliauskas.
It turned out that everything is quite complicated, but the most complicated thing, according to the residents, was the communication with the managers of the “Urbanization”.
Spit on needs
Residents of the tsarist house say they have not found common ground with any of the house managers appointed by the Estate. The reason was very vital: managers changed frequently.
“I moved into this house about five years ago. During this time alone, the managers of the house changed four times. Each of them had to rediscover the situation. They usually found and disappeared or did not show a strong desire to do something useful. We didn’t initiate those administrator changes. This was due to the change of employees in the company, “the teacher was surprised.
However, some steps have been taken towards renewal. Būsto valda presented the project and residents hoped to complete a request for support for the renovation.
However, the meetings with the administrator about the renovation were said to be complicated. “It just came to our attention then. In the end, they decided that this house could not be insulated from the outside. Consequently, it will be insulated from the inside. The insulation of the exterior wall in each apartment will be 10 cm thick,” continued J. Kisieliauskas .
The most interesting thing is that during the renovation the facade of the house would not be maintained yet.
Residents have repeatedly said that such a renovation plan is not suitable for them. Interpretations that the apartments will be demolished will change the pipes scared residents. “They did not specify how much work would be done. He did not explain anything normally. The most interesting thing is that during the renovation the facade of the house would still not be maintained. It would continue to be as crumbling as now,” Indr, Paludnevičiūtė, another resident of the house, doubted the Būsto valda’s professionalism.
“We were pushed into a situation where without money we cannot repair the roof, but we are supposed to renovate the house from the inside.” However, the main concern for us was the roof and the facade of the house, “added J. Kisieliauskas to the neighbor.
Residents claim to have talked to several experts about insulating the house from the inside. It turned out that the walls are so thick that, in principle, they do not even need to be insulated. “Internal isolation would be a waste of money to fulfill some theoretical points. The administrator did not take care of the needs of the residents ”, the neighbors are convinced.
Hundreds of cod
At that time, as the residents recalled, the house manager changed once again. The new one showed exceptional attention and spared no criticism of its predecessor for not listening to the comments of the population, urging to do everything again, look, negotiate. He promised to explain, submit an application to the Municipality of Kaunas and ask how, in such an exceptional case, due to the uniqueness of the house, it should be renovated.
But languages were still languages. Residents complained that no one heard his voice again, and at that time the bricks began to crumble because the roof had collapsed, the gutters were clogged or perforated.
“We said that bricks were falling that could harm people. And we received a protective fence, instead of offering cheap solutions, “added J. Kisieliauskas to the previous masterpiece: the fence.
“Būsto valda” hastened to save lives and installed a fence for residents. The fence cost 292 euros. Within a matter of time, the shoddy fence collapsed. Then, without even listening to the residents, they allegedly nailed several new sticks and cost 378 euros. It is not difficult to be sure, because the renovation of the fence has left old boards that are much darker than the ones they put in this year, but the estimate for the second order exceeded the first. The calculation of the work estimate remained a secret of the Urbanization.
“I think there was a rush to renovate that fence because we decided to move to another housing manager. Probably it was necessary to spend some money, he decided to fix what is impossible to repair, “considered the residents of the house.
A resident of the house did not hate himself and went to the director of the administration of the municipality of Kaunas, who sent the letter to the department responsible for these matters. The response surprised residents.
“We were offered to call an independent auditor. I asked him to recalculate the invoice they gave us and here is his golden fence: be careful. An audit with good eyes will not recite anything to us. Consequently, the value of the fence will increase further. That’s all, “the neighbors filled.
Laughing, the university professor calculated that an employee of “Būsto valda” earned more doing this golden fence than teaching students at the university: 70 euros per hour.
When an emergency arises, we call, they come and cheer us on with a gold money waste fence.
Open bullying?
Another notable situation is the fireplace in the house. The owner of the second floor apartment saw water seeping through the roof. He approached the manager and explained that the water was probably running through the cracks in the ceiling around the fireplace. The manager came and repaired, not just that fireplace, but another.
The latter is on the stairs of the house and did not disturb anyone. However, for the improperly repaired fireplace, “Būsto valda” still issued an invoice to the residents for the work done. An amount of € 1,533 was deducted from the population’s savings account.
“All of your cooperation with us is a monthly fundraiser. When a critical situation arises, we call, they come and make us happy with a close to the waste of golden money ”, J. Kisieliauskas did not hide his outrage.
Another detail came to light during the quarantine, when the government decided to disinfect the ladder. “He came, disinfected, and then he hung an ad. However, only one staircase was disinfected, and the fee for disinfection was divided among residents of the three stairways in the house. I inquired by phone and wrote that the service was not performed on other stairs, “said Indre, a resident of the house.
Residents received a formal response that the stairs were closed. An apartment building in Kaunas is not alone, so how do managers of other apartment buildings manage it? Crying at the door that you can’t honestly do your job or clapping cats that an obstacle doesn’t allow them to do anything?
“It just came to our attention then. It was only when I moved in and became interested in how and what could be improved here that I heard a favorite line from a famous person: that everyone goes here and complains. I told him that if he complains, he probably has something, but still could not find a dialogue “, – lamented J. Kisieliauskas.
Call but it doesn’t help
Residents of the Tsarist house offered a tour of the fairly large courtyard next to the house. Bushes and grass were hidden in the garbage yard. Residents made no secret of the need to clean, but explained to each other that the calculated cost of cleaning was cosmic. According to residents, the old man did not help them either.
Elder of Šančiai elder The specialist Alnora Bagdonienė confirmed that the territory near A. Juozapavičiaus ave. 48B is known. For many years, the Šančiai elder has been trying to force residents to manage.
A. Bagdonienė has been mailing residents to Kauno Diena and Būsto valda since 2016. The correspondence shows calls and requests and explanations from residents.
The residents of the house don’t want to take care of themselves, but they also don’t want to pay money for cleaning.
“The residents of the house don’t want to take care of themselves, but they also don’t want to pay money for cleaning,” continued a specialist for the Šančiai elder.
The order can be evaluated in two ways, because a few meters around the house, the residents are well organized, the eye is delighted with the well-kept flower beds, the green thujas and other plants. However, the feeding place for cats marked by the municipality is covered in grass. According to residents, no one feeds those cats here, because when the grasslands come together even more, the inscription is practically not visible.
“Since February 2020, A. Juozapavičiaus ave. The administrator of 48B is the company Kauno Butų ūkis. The Šančiai elder asked the new administrator for the obligation to manage the territory near the apartment building located on A.Juozapavičiaus ave. 48B. Kauno butų ūkis planned to manage the territory in the near future.
Currently, as far as the Šančiai elders are known, a land lease agreement is being prepared. Once signed, the old man does not rule out the possibility of including the land in the list of abandoned land and charging at a higher rate.
Abstract interpretations
Būsto valda entrusted the answer to Kauno diena’s questions to a public relations specialist, who introduced the words of Rokas Drąsutavičius, the head of Būsto valda.
The head of Būsto Valdos clarified that the administrators of the house had been changed only twice during several years of administration of the house. “Regardless of the person who manages the building, we always try to ensure consistent communication and cooperation with the residents of the house,” R. Drąsutavičius’s response was given in response to “Kaunas Day”.
The question of why “Būsto valda” repaired the fireplace unsolicited by the resident was left unanswered. It is claimed that “one of the chimneys was in an emergency condition, and the falling bricks caused damage to the roof covering, causing damage to residents’ apartments during the rain. As the chimney belongs to the general infrastructure of the entire house, the costs of its repair were distributed to all the owners of the apartments ”.
Neither the head of Būsto valda nor the specialist who presented the answers explained the costs of the protective fence, which cost residents almost 700 euros.
“The protective fence was first repaired along with the protective roof in 2018. Since the fence was damaged and broken after a while, and the emergency parapet, which is not repaired at the request of residents, poses a risk of accidents, additional fence repair work was carried out by order of the old man,
It is true that residents recalled that they expected the possibility of repairing the roof in installments, but “Būsto valda” allegedly disagreed, attributing it to small-scale works. 80 thousand euro – a small volume? “Būsto valda” did not offer Kauno Diena to explain this.
