In order to ensure the rights and safety of residents in Shymkent, responsible specialists of the city administration identified and inspected illegal construction. These measures are being carried out to monitor compliance with building codes and legal requirements in the city. In particular, complaints from residents and issues raised on social networks are attracting the attention of relevant authorities.
Recently, the City Department of Environmental Quality and Control considered the issue raised by residents of Zh. Adyrbekov Street. Residents expressed their concern through social networks, claiming that illegal construction was underway on the heating pipeline. The main concern for each resident is the risk of damage to utility networks by the construction worker when using his land plot. As a result of the inspection, specific data were revealed.
It was revealed that a citizen conducting construction at 70 Zh. Aldiyarov Street, Enbekshy District, replaced 100 meters of a heating pipe that passed along the border of his land plot without the appropriate permit. During construction work, design documents and technical control requirements were not observed, author's supervision was not carried out, and a notification was not sent to the relevant state body. This action directly threatened the city's engineering networks, the safety of residents, and the stability of public utilities.
The responsible specialists fined the construction manager for violating the requirements of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Architecture, Urban Planning and Construction Activities. According to the city administration, he was ordered to pay a fine in the total amount of 511 thousand tenge. In addition, an official instruction was given to restore the illegally replaced heating pipe and stop construction work. These measures were taken to prevent legal violations and ensure the safety of residents.
The City Environmental Quality and Control Department reminds residents that before starting any construction, it is necessary to obtain permits in accordance with current legal requirements. Compliance with construction standards is not only a legal obligation, but also a key condition for ensuring the safety of residents and the integrity of engineering networks.
Illegal construction poses many risks. First, it can damage utility networks, which can disrupt heat, water, and electricity supplies. Second, it can endanger the lives and health of residents. Third, such actions negatively affect the trust between the city administration and residents. Therefore, compliance with legal requirements during any construction is not only a mandatory measure, but also a manifestation of social responsibility.
As the city administration has shown, unauthorized construction leads to large fines and forced demolition of illegal construction. These actions also increase the economic responsibility of those who violate the law. In addition, illegal construction can interfere with the city's infrastructure planning and negatively affect future development.
The main rule for construction managers is to draw up design documents, provide technical supervision and notify the relevant state bodies. These requirements are necessary not only to comply with the law, but also to ensure the quality of construction, the safety of residents and the stability of the city's infrastructure. Each construction entity is obliged to comply with these standards, since violations pose a threat not only to the individual, but also to the city and its residents.
The city administration is strengthening its supervision of legality in the construction sector and responding promptly to residents' complaints. This approach is aimed at protecting the rights of residents, preventing illegal construction, and ensuring the safety of engineering networks in the city. In addition, through preventive measures, the possibility of preventing illegal construction is increased.
One of the tips for residents is to check the status of the land plot, obtain permits and comply with building codes before starting construction. It is mandatory to provide technical and author's supervision during construction. Compliance with these requirements will prevent legal violations and prevent fines or suspension of construction work in the future.
In addition, explanatory work is being carried out among city residents and builders. These events are organized to ensure compliance with legal requirements, protect utility networks, and maintain a safe urban infrastructure. Responsible specialists urge residents to be legally literate and explain the importance of conducting any construction work in accordance with the law.
As the city administration's experience shows, illegal construction often occurs due to the lack of permits, lack of technical supervision, and failure to notify the relevant authorities. Therefore, it is a priority to prepare the necessary documents and act in accordance with the law before starting any construction.
In conclusion, preventing illegal construction is an important measure to ensure the safety of the city, protect the rights of residents, and preserve engineering infrastructure. The City Environmental Quality and Control Department urges residents to strictly comply with building codes and will take timely action in case of any violations.
For the residents of Shymkent, this experience is an important lesson. Not only to carry out construction work in accordance with the law, but also to protect the city's infrastructure, the lives and health of residents is the common duty of every citizen. Preventing illegal construction is the joint responsibility of society, city authorities, and residents.
