Neighbor drills into the side of a building and sets off alarms in the area of ​​La Habana.

A resident of the Plaza de la Revolución municipality in Havana raised community alarm when he pierced a side wall of the Minrex building in El Vedado, an action that puts the structure of the property at risk.

From the social network Facebook, the internet user Leyla Gutiérrez López reported the incident that occurred on the eighth floor of a building dating back to 1976; while pointing out that person destroyed "the side of the building with a chipijama, and that part is the column of the building made of concrete."

"No one says anything, no one protests, until there is a collapse and many people die," Gutiérrez pointed out, while calling for measures to be taken by the Municipal Housing Directorate, Physical Planning, or the People's Power.

Why is this allowed and non-corrupt inspectors do not show up and stop this?, questioned the user, who added that the seriousness of this act on a support wall, furthermore, "breaks all aesthetics".

After the complaint from Gutiérrez López, several neighbors supported his statement and joined the complaint about the imminent risk of the building collapsing "since it is a load-bearing wall and the building has had a major repair process pending since 2014, with countless excuses and unfulfilled promises in the different accountability assemblies," pointed out Isabel Xalabarder.

Faced with dozens of comments, an anonymous user on the social network stated that "the relevant authorities have already been here, took the appropriate action now, and the hole will be properly covered."

Situations like these demonstrate "how legality is violated with total impunity, and those responsible for enforcing it do not do their job," as stated five years ago by Yarily Castro when the resident of Ciego de Ávila reported the work incompetence of the officials from the Municipal Directorate of Physical Planning (DMPF), in a letter sent to the official media outlet Juventud Rebelde.

In a recent review of similar events, the population's dissatisfaction with the management of institutions related to the maintenance and care of the housing fund, as well as those governing laws to enforce policies on neighbors' coexistence, is palpable, when the lack of civic awareness is evident.
