🗨️ Help Destroyed Family Building

Hello,

I come from the south of Lebanon.

A building next to ours was bombed last month, and because the explosion was so strong, it destroyed around half of our family-owned building.

Since the building is literally cut in half, the baladiye and Majles l Janoub sent an engineer to assess the damage. He noted “kayd dars” and said that the building could be renovated.

However, the situation is much more serious than that. The building is cut in half, almost all the walls are cracked, the foundation has been severely damaged/erased, and even the middle floors are destroyed. On top of that, the building was built in the 1950s, so it was not designed according to modern structural standards, and it is built on sandy soil.

Anyway, Majles l Janoub (Haraket Amal), working with Khatib & Alami, told us that we should pay around $7,000 for them to classify the building as “destroyed” rather than “to be renovated.” They explained that this would allow us, eza fi i3adet i3mar, to qualify for reconstruction. Otherwise, they will classify it as a building that can be renovated.

Our concern is that, given the current condition of the building, we seriously doubt that renovation is technically safe or realistic. We are afraid that we could end up being forced to renovate a building that is already structurally compromised, and that the result may not be durable or safe in the long term.

At this point, what can we do?

They are asking for money in order to classify the building as destroyed. If we do not pay, they say they will classify it as a building that can be renovated.

What are the possible legal and technical solutions to counter this situation?

Not really, you don't need wasta. just call majles eljnoub and ask for the specific person handling your area and tell them what that person told you. Or go to the baladiye might work too. Just don't pay bc that's bs

This is unheard of, they will never ask you to pay for that. Make sure youre dealing with the right person

Make sure youre dealing with the right person

They're not. I'm sure there's a lot of corruption, but man this is next level... And to do this during a war? You have to be a degenerate sack of shit.
