Sergey Levkovich held a personal reception of citizens in Vitebsk

11 people registered for a personal reception of citizens with Sergey Levkovich, Assistant to the President – Inspector for the Vitebsk Region.

 

Sergey Levkovich noted that many of the issues raised, although seemingly simple at first glance, require careful consideration. One of the issues discussed at the reception was the legalization of an illegally constructed building.

A female applicant, whose parents are divorced, approached the Assistant to the President. She described a complex situation concerning a land plot where a house was illegally built in the 1980s. Currently, there is an opportunity to buy out the part of the house belonging to her father. The plot, measuring four and a half hundred square meters, actually includes two houses, one of which is considered illegal and temporary.

To finalize the transaction, it is necessary to legalize the existing structure, which requires the construction of a fire compartment. Sergey Meshkleshkin, a member of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly of Belarus and head of the Vitebsk Regional Emergency Situations Department, who was present at the reception, commented on the situation, noting that the illegally constructed house was built in violation of all norms and requirements.

– In the 1980s, such structures were subject to demolition due to non-compliance with fire safety clearances, – noted Sergey Meshkleshkin.

He added that there are currently options to resolve this issue. One of them is the construction of a brick fire wall instead of a fence.

– If such a wall is built along the entire width of the adjacent bathhouse and reaches the roof ridge, the issue with the fire compartment will be resolved. In this case, the fire safety clearance requirements will be met, – concluded the parliamentarian.
