On December 2, 2025, specialists from the Shymkent City Department of Environmental Quality and Control conducted an unscheduled inspection of the facility located at No. 213/12 and No. 213/13 on Sh. Ualikhanov Street, based on a complaint from city residents.

Initially, this land plot was provided for the purpose of beautifying the adjacent territory and improving the city's infrastructure. However, as the inspection revealed, the facility was illegally built for commercial purposes and operated without a certificate of occupancy. Such actions contradict city building codes and legal requirements.

Inspection results

During the inspection, several violations were identified:

1. The original purpose of the land plot was not taken into account - the facility was built for commercial purposes, but the land plot was intended only for landscaping and the construction of socio-cultural facilities.

2. A construction permit and act were not issued - the facility was not put into operation, that is, it was operating without official documents.

3. Construction standards are not met - the constructed facility does not comply with the city's architecture, infrastructure, and landscaping requirements.

These facts constitute a violation of urban construction regulations and can directly affect the safety of residents. The construction of an illegal facility poses a threat not only to the artistic and aesthetic appearance, but also to public safety.

Legal measures

The Shymkent City Department of Environmental Quality and Control filed a lawsuit against a legal entity regarding an illegally constructed facility. According to the court's decision, the facility was recognized as illegal and completely demolished .

Legal measures have led to the following important results:

• illegal construction was demolished,

• The land plot was returned to its original purpose,

• Experience was gained in preventing illegal construction in the future.

This case is a clear example of maintaining the legality of the construction industry in the city. Residents can protect their rights and contribute to the implementation of legal requirements.

Warning to city residents

The Shymkent City Department of Environmental Quality and Control urges city residents to strictly comply with the law and building codes before starting construction and installation work .

Failure to comply with legal requirements may have several consequences:

1. Fines - Large fines are considered if violations are detected.

2. Construction demolition - if the object is found to be illegal, it can be completely demolished by court order.

3. Legal liability — a builder or company that violates legal requirements will be held legally liable.

This warning is intended not only for builders and investors, but also for land owners. Any facility in the city must be built only in accordance with legal requirements.

Consequences of illegal construction

Illegal construction can have a negative impact on urban infrastructure, residents, and the environment. The main consequences of such actions are:

• Safety is a concern — if the facility is poorly constructed, the lives and health of residents may be at risk.

• The artistic appearance of the city is being destroyed - illegal structures disrupt the architectural harmony of the city and reduce its aesthetic appearance.

• Legal issues - large fines are imposed on those who violate the law, and measures to demolish the facility are taken through the courts.

• Improper use of land resources — if land is not used for its original purpose, the public interest suffers.

For these reasons, illegal construction has a negative impact not only on individuals, but also on the city as a whole. Therefore, developers must strictly comply with legal requirements.
