«The building is wooden, and the walls are continuing to deteriorate, especially during rainfall. There is a motorway nearby. The house shakes from the trucks, which makes the situation worse. We patch things up ourselves every year,» says one resident.

In a comment to NikVesti, the management company Misto dlya Lyudey (City for People) reported that residents had independently reduced the service fee by 3 hryvnias per 7 apartments, which amounts to about 1,000 hryvnia per month. At the same time, according to the company, the average payment rate for the building is only 15%.

«The co-owners of the building decided to carry out the work themselves. We only deal with emergencies — installing clamps or welding cracks, and even then, taking into account the charges,» the company said.
