Illegal Construction in Tashkent City Residential Complex: Residents Remodel Terraces Without Permission

This article is also available in: Русский (Russian) Uzbek

The Tashkent City residential complex, considered one of the most prestigious in Tashkent, has become the center of a scandal. During an inspection by the Construction and Housing and Utilities Control Authority, numerous violations were identified on the terraces of some high-rise buildings. In particular, residents independently built additional structures, expanded terrace areas, and altered the exterior appearance of the buildings. These actions not only violate the architectural design but also pose safety risks.

What Happened?

In several buildings within the complex, nine cases of unauthorized modifications were detected. For example:

  • Light structures were erected on terraces, disrupting the overall aesthetic of the buildings.
  • In some cases, terrace areas were doubled in size, exceeding the limits outlined in the original project.
  • Some structures obstruct ventilation systems, potentially causing maintenance issues.

In one of the buildings, three illegal structures were found on a single terrace. These unauthorized actions hinder proper building maintenance and negatively affect the living conditions of other residents.

Why Is This a Problem?

  1. Disruption of Architectural Style
    Tashkent City was designed as a modern residential complex with a well-thought-out aesthetic. Unauthorized modifications undermine its architectural integrity.
  2. Safety Risks
    Unapproved constructions may lack reliability and pose real dangers to residents.
  3. Operational Challenges
    Violations interfere with the operation of engineering systems and complicate building maintenance.

Inspection’s Response

The Construction and Housing and Utilities Control Authority had previously recorded violations and issued directives to property owners. However, despite established deadlines, the illegal changes were not addressed.

This time, inspectors conducted another round of raids and issued written notices requiring the removal of all violations. If residents fail to comply, the cases will be referred to court.

Shared Responsibility

The illegal actions of some residents highlight a lack of understanding that common property belongs to all owners. The personal convenience of a few individuals should not come at the expense of the collective good.

An Open Question

How long will authorities tolerate such violations? Accountability must be inevitable to preserve the integrity and safety of the Tashkent City residential complex.
