Residents complain of loud excavation works on Adolf Ciborovski Street
Neighbors say daily digging and vibration from a new residential project have made life difficult; investor apologised and municipality promises information.
Residents of Adolf Ciborovski Street say ongoing excavation works next to their homes have turned daily life into a constant roar and vibration. Neighbors describe the sound as so intense that it feels as if "it's like we're in a constant earthquake."
People living along the street report repeated disturbances and worry about the structural safety of nearby buildings. Several residents say the noise has continued for days and that some have already contacted authorities asking for an on-site inspection to check whether the developer is complying with construction standards.
"They work until five in the afternoon, there's banging, it's very loud and the building shakes. They dig every day except Sunday. They started around ten days ago. People from the building call every day because of the noise," said one resident. Another added: "This is the second week. They also came to install street lighting."
Developer apologizes and says permit is valid
There was no construction information board posted at the site when reporters visited, but the developer on site apologized to neighbors. Selatin Iftarovski said he understands the reactions on social media but believes some comments are exaggerated.
"I, as someone surprised by the complaints of the citizens and neighbors who live here, apologize for the noise and the problems we have caused them in the past three days. However, as everywhere, it is necessary to build here as well, because we have a regular building permit and we follow all standards. Now the construction site will be fenced. It is a matter of three days. There are greater reactions than necessary on social networks," said Selatin Iftarovski, the investor.
Centar Municipality did not provide a direct reply about whether inspectors had visited the location, but said that all active construction sites are under control. The municipality announced that it will provide details about the excavation on Adolf Ciborovski Street tomorrow.
