The building damaged by the earthquake still intact, the 36-year-old man lost

At the end of December last year, the show "Stop" on TV Klan went to the "Misto Mame" area, to the Çabej buildings, for the problem of the citizen Astrit Maci, who is a co-owner of a 4-story building, built for years and certified. He showed that the value of the house has gone up to 400 thousand euros and from the 2019 earthquake it was declared with Ds5 damage, which means high risk.

The citizen completed all the procedures and addressed the administrative unit no. 6, to the Inspectorate of Territory Protection and IKMT for the demolition of the building. It also received the construction permit and would receive the value of 80 million old lek for reconstruction. Even though he asked for the demolition, he still hasn't found a solution, as he was told that he should demolish it himself. The construction companies have not taken it over as other apartments have been added.

Today, homeless people or drug users go to the abandoned building. There are scattered syringes, food waste turning the building into a hotbed of infection. Two days after the broadcast of the show, one of the drug users died in this dangerous building at the age of 36.

The victim's brother: I think the police found him. We stayed here, we slept here because we had nowhere to sleep. We used to sleep down there.

Journalist: Did you also take shelter here?

The victim's brother: Yes! I stayed here with him, I slept with him, I guarded him. I told him to go and visit him, "I'm fine" he would do, so that he would lie down because he was bleeding from his mouth.

Journalist: Was your brother a drug user?

The victim's brother: Before, yes.

Journalist: How long have you been staying here?

The victim's brother: We have been here for two years.

Journalist: How old was the brother?

The victim's brother: 36 years old.

"Stop" addressed the municipality of Tirana, which said that due to the dangerous nature of the building, the General Directorate of Civil Emergencies has sent a letter to IMT to initiate the demolition of the building. Then, depending on the budget, IMT will act or ask for help from a specialized intervention company./tvklan.al
