The owner of the “Central Premium” residential complex, developer Alexander Pikulik from Irpin, left 300 families homeless during the war.
Apartment owners in the “Central Premium” residential complex in Irpin have accused the developer of acting arbitrarily, leaving over 300 families without shelter during the war.
This is mentioned in a blog post on Censor.no Svetlana Kushnir.
Even at the start of the war, the mentioned residential complex suffered damage. To rebuild, the developer company collected $30 per square meter from the apartment owners, promising to not only restore housing, but also refund the money after receiving state compensation. However, for over six months, work has mainly focused on commercial real estate. Investors have been unable to obtain a specific action plan or access to their own homes.
According to expert Svetlana Kushnir, the owners are also angered by repair estimates sent to them in a chat by developer representatives. The estimates overstate the cost of work, with an additional 15% allocated for “administrative expenses.”
Investors believe that Alexander Pikulik and his company representatives are attempting to only repair commercial areas in the residential complex to sell them later. The developer shows no interest in the fate of those who have already paid for their apartments.
“People have been unable to achieve justice for several months in a row. Many families simply do not have the means to live on, because they have invested all their savings in construction and “repairs,” the material says.
Kushnir urges law enforcement agencies to get involved, mentioning that Pikulik was previously involved in a police incident in 2020 when he was caught driving a black Range Rover under the influence. He resisted and threatened law enforcement officers, but managed to evade responsibility later.
“Perhaps the most blatant example of Pikulik's impunity is the shooting incident at Sapori Veri restaurant in Irpin. There, a deputy brandished a firearm and nearly hit a woman, but faced no consequences despite eyewitness accounts and bullet holes.“, – the expert notes.
Alexander Pikulik is a member of the Irpin City Council and heads the commission on land relations, forestry, and environmental issues. He has been accused in the media of illegal construction and advocating for various developers in local council. Recently, he opposed the removal of an advertising structure at the entrance to Irpin and the installation of a “Hero City” memorial stele.
