I never had.
vacations. I started saving money. And finally, I was able to buy a house. I mean, even with a
mortgage, but still, I bought the house for $125,000. Even the condition was not good. Even
the house was in a very bad condition, I was thinking that I would be able to make the repairing
works myself.
Yes, I was building a house, having all the permits for the construction, I have gone through all the inspections, I can provide all the necessary papers that you would require or you would need, so I have some parts of them here with me, some parts are in my case.
I have all the necessary confirmations
and permits. Everything
is here. Would you like
me to provide them to you?
Not right now, but thank you.
Interpreter, could you tell her
I want the house show that she says
this is my house.
I read a photo.
Right.
I want you to show
the house and show
the basis
on the fact that he is your house.
Is this your house here?
No. Where is your house?
Where is your house?
My house. Oh, this is my house.
That's your house there. Yes.
This is your house there. Yes.
Yes. Yes. Okay.
Alright. Thank you.
and and could you explain to us what the issue is what you what you see is the issue here
could you get her to do that please
хорошо в таком случае можете пожалуйста объяснить в чем здесь проблема какая какая
здесь основная причина да yes когда я строила дом у меня не было в планах вот этой козибы сбоку
So when I was building the house, I didn't have plans to have this casaebo on the side.
2-3 фита выше моего уровня.
Вода и грязь течет ко мне.
И я спросила инспектора.
Он сказал, да, вы можете сделать это козиба.
И козиба стояла с 2018 года.
Ко мне не было претензий.
В 2019 году у меня есть бумаги.
У меня все инспекшн, окей.
Я завершила уже шитрик внутри.
Покрашено было.
А потом был ковид.
In the 19th and 20th year, I did not work, no one did not work in the house, and in the 19th and 20th year, I received the first valuation.
Yes, so I didn't have plans to have this casebo.
and when
I was building in the house
you could see that the water
flowing in
into the Crowley space and the
basement, this is why I
decided to
in the basement and the
Crowley space, I have
water heater
what is it
boiler, gas
light everywhere and
I'm scared. Inspector say I can put Kaziba. Okay. This is the in-depth speaking. The client
stated in English. Should I provide that information and repeat that information?
Yes, please. Yeah. So in my basement, I had a heater.
Yeah, so in my basement, I had a heater and some other electronic devices.
And this is why I was scared that the water could damage it.
And I spoke to the inspector and he stated that it's okay for me to build up the gazebo.
Do we have a picture of the gazebo?
Just next to the house with the roof.
And that's when I also asked to provide the permits for those.
All right.
All offices were closed. I couldn't go anywhere.
And on April 2020-2022, I sent an appellation.
I asked to make a complaint. I asked to allow me to make a CZIPA.
And then it came out that according to the documents,
it turns out that not all my land is mine.
Not all my land is mine.
right in 2022 i can provide the exact date it was january 22nd i received my first notice
that's when the pandemic ended in february and uh on april 4th of 2022 i sent an appeal
asking to provide all the necessary documents and approvals to build this gazebo.
And then it turned out that the land does not belong to me completely.
Wait a minute, let him interpret.
um yes um so i couldn't do anything for several years because i was trying to collect all the
necessary documents to make everything in a correct way so on november of 2022 i was
able to get the detailed consolidation with all approvals
How does she have any more testimony?
I understand that I may have violated something, but when I looked at the houses that were built next to me, new houses, there was a distance between the houses, a small distance between the houses, but in the old houses, right?
Wait, wait, you have to give the interpreter a chance to interpret.
Okay, okay.
Could you tell me what she was just saying?
um yes so uh in the period from 2018 to 2022 i had my gazebo uh ready built ready and built
and i had no problems at all but after that period i started having issues after it was completely
built, I started to receive notices. I understand that I may have violated some rules. But I could
see the other new houses build the same things, just like me, or just in the same territory.
Just like me, just in the same territory.
Is there anything else you can tell us?
So, let's suppose and assume that
I'm gonna remove this gazebo and I contacted the certain agencies and found out that to remove and to fix it
it would require from 20 to 30 thousand dollars. I'm a retired person, I'm 69 years old
and my income is only 1500 dollars per month. I cannot afford that.
basement and crawl space. I will live in constant stress, so my house will be on fire.
And when I was in a war, I would have to die. When I went to, I did everything right. I sent 72
certified letter to my husband,
as it was supposed to be.
My husband can't come to RCO.
I took a picture,
I took a picture,
and for the last one,
and for the last one.
I don't know, what to do.
The only goal I want to do is
I want to leave them in peace.
I need a variance.
And then I'll finish everything until the end.
Everything will be clean and I'll live safely.
That's the only thing I want.
If I break this stuff, I don't know who it will.
Hold on.
You have to let him say you can't keep blowing water, right?
Thank you, sir.
Right. So secondly, I'm afraid if I'm going to do that,
my basement will be flooded.
I will be living in this constant fear
that my house will catch a fire or be flooded in case of fire it it won't be only me who's
going to suffer from that but also my neighbors are going to suffer from that i have sent 72
different letters to neighborhoods to every neighbor with certification and unfortunately
my neighbors cannot participate the rco meeting i have everything every document every single
document signed and now i don't know what to do my goal is to have the agencies to leave me alone
and let me finish everything okay all right good so questions from the board
i have a question what other work needs to be done
I said finish.
Backyard, frontyard, the finish, the work outside.
Everything is done inside.
I cleaned all the walls after the leak, everything that was covered.
I can show the pictures of the basement where I was covered.
So mostly all around the house.
I mean, my backyard, the frontyard, everything outside.
because inside everything is already done.
I have completed all the necessary works inside.
Now the exterior, everything that is outside requires the work that should be done.
I mean, I have all the necessary photographs of my basement being flooded.
I can provide those photographs.
Thank you.
Thank you. Any other questions from the board?
Any other questions from the board?
going to stop the water going into the basement.
I'm a little confused as to how this is going to address that condition.
on the weight. How can you stop the water in the bed?
This part is not quite clear.
Just answer the question.
Just answer the question.
One of the things that the water prevents the water,
and here I built a wall.
this is 2-3 feet
this is the floor
this is the earth
if the water falls from the roof
then it falls on the earth
but it falls to the house
but with the other side
where I could
I don't know
how it's called
the pump
where it's all out of the house
it's the other side of the house
So, from one side, the water is blocked by the gazebo.
And there is another wall that I built, which is two or three feet tall.
So, if the water gets in, it gets only into the ground.
but not into the basement and from the other side i have this i don't remember how exactly
it should be called but something like a pump i mean on the other side of the house i sold
this pump that i can install on this part of the house
Any other questions? Thank you.
Do you know if you have a perimeter drain or a sump pump in your basement?
This is pump. I don't know what it is.
Скажите, пожалуйста, у вас имеется дренаж по периметру или что-то вроде этого?
Yes, I just don't know how it's called.
I have this special pump that drains it into the pump, and the pump throws it out.
but from the other side of the house
I have the crawling space
that does not allow me to install
this device
