<Anchor> In
a residential area in Busan, residents are complaining about the cracks in the walls and the tilting of the floor to one side.
This phenomenon has been reported since the construction of the apartment next door started, and KNN reporter Lee Tae-hoon covered it.
<Reporter> The
bathroom door closes by itself.
The same goes for windows.
When you place a cylindrical object on the floor, it rolls to one side.
One side of the house was tilted down.
[Jinmin: Your fingers go in.
It means that there has been this amount of subsidence.]
Cracks are found everywhere, including the floor of the room.
The landlord is very anxious, saying that this has been happening since excavation work began at the apartment construction site right next door two months ago.
[Cho Nam-gyu / Landlord: I can't sleep at all. When I hear a strange sound, I get up at dawn and look at the whole house with a flashlight to see if the house is going down... .] As
you can see, in the boiler room where the city gas pipe is connected, cracks so severe that your fingers can go in.
Cracks are also being found in other houses nearby, but construction continues.
The construction company first entered an emergency safety diagnosis.
An official from the construction company said that there were no problems in construction, and they will decide whether to compensate for the damage based on the results of the safety diagnosis.
Residents are very anxious ahead of the rainy season, but they cannot move immediately.
[Kim Sang-yong / Resident of the 2nd floor of a tilted house: You don't know when you will fall when you saw the accident in which the Gwangju building fell a while ago. Then what do I mean?]
Even the Saha-gu Office, which has jurisdiction over the city, said it was a problem between the construction company and the residents and actually gave up on it, and the resentment of the residents is growing.
