An interesting situation has occurred in the Tashkent district of Tashkent region, involving a conflict between a developer and the owner of a private house. The incident took place in the Bahor neighborhood, where the company Toshkent Mega Stroy is building a multi-apartment residential complex. A violation of safety regulations during the excavation of a foundation pit led to the partial collapse of a neighboring private house. However, as it later became clear, the collapsed part was an unauthorized extension. So, both parties are at fault: the developer for breaking safety rules, and the homeowner for building wherever they please.
The event occurred on October 8, when the wall of a structure next to the under-construction building collapsed during the work. At that time, people were inside the house, and rescuers had to break through a wall to free two elderly residents trapped inside. Fortunately, no one was injured.
As it was later revealed, the main residential house remained intact, and only the wall of the unauthorized structure was damaged. This building had already caught the attention of authorities: on September 26, 2024, the Civil Court of Zangiota District issued a ruling to demolish the illegally constructed outbuildings at the owner’s expense, as they had been built without permission on an internal road.
Following the incident, the construction control inspection halted work on the site until the final court decision regarding the disputed issues. However, the Ministry of Construction emphasized that the construction of the high-rise was carried out legally. The project was developed in accordance with the architectural and planning assignment from June 22, 2023, and was approved by architectural and urban planning authorities, as well as passed the required expert review.
Additionally, the object was registered with the Regional Control Inspection in the field of construction and housing and communal services of Tashkent region.
The situation highlighted the complexity of interactions between developers and private property owners. In this case, on one hand, the owner of the private house illegally occupied a portion of the land and built an extension, and on the other hand, the developer dug the foundation pit in violation of safety regulations. Now, both parties find themselves at the center of legal and construction disputes.
