How a House Was Sawed Up Near Yaroslavl, or Victory Over a Neighboring Entrepreneur

The owner of a small old house Denis Roshchin won a long-running dispute with the family of a former United Russia deputy Olga PobedonostsevaThe "extension" to his house—an office center—began to be dismantled.
In 2016, Roshchin's neighbors sold their share of a wooden two-apartment house, along with a small plot of land, to an entrepreneur. To Vasily Telenkov, a relative of Pobedonostseva. At one point, Roshchin's wife called him and shouted that the house was being cut in half. In fact, they did cut it in half: they tore down the walls, half the roof, and half the strip foundation. The interior wall, however, turned out to be the exterior.
"The foundation is crumbling and cracking: everything's compromised. It was all one piece, and suddenly half of it was cut away. You sleep at night and you can hear the house moving: a creaking, a grinding sound. And it's gotten cold because the partition isn't load-bearing, not solid." I told A few years ago Roshchin.
A building several times larger than the old house was erected on the site of the second half of the house. It became the entrepreneur's office center.


The local and district administrations offered no assistance to Roshchin, but the Yaroslavl District Court sided with him and ordered the owner to demolish the building. The bailiff service explained why, six years after the court's decision, the extension had still not been demolished: contractors refused to undertake the work for fear of causing irreparable damage to Roshchin's home. The bailiffs slapped the owner with fines, and Telenkov took on the demolition himself.
NeMoskva previously wrote about other scams involving the construction of illegal buildings. For example, in the Nizhny Novgorod region in a gardening community on 15 acres Appeared A 15-apartment building. In the same region, on a small plot of land, instead of a garden house flourishing A farm—with all the ensuing consequences for the neighbors. Often, the fight against illegal buildings and entrepreneurship ends in failure.
