"Snow melts, rain falls - we're swimming": a new building in Vitebsk has been flooding for the second spring in a row
Residents of a house in the new Vitebsk microdistrict Nikrapolye are sounding the alarm: in spring, they cannot enter the entrance normally because it is flooded — as the entrance is at ground level and there are no storm drains.

A young mother from Vitebsk, who is signed on TikTok as Ella Stsyapanava, showed in a video what is happening in their new building. It is almost impossible to enter the entrance and stay dry, because there is water everywhere.
The woman says that this situation has been happening for the second spring in a row. Snow melts, rain falls — residents suffer from flooding. Other problems are added as a bonus: the roof also leaks, and because of this, the elevator is regularly turned off. And for young families, of whom there are many in the new Nikrapolye microdistrict, this complicates life.
The situation is especially frustrating because the house was put into operation less than two years ago.
— Who will be responsible for this? The housing maintenance service or Vitebsk DSK, which built the house so poorly, without providing for storm drains? There is no porch, water flows into the entrance. How do they solve the problem? They come, pump out the water, and that's it. And we suffer year after year. Mold will appear. These apartments did not come to us for free. We have a 20-year loan of more than a thousand rubles a month.
She ends the video with a rhetorical question:
— In our country, everything is for young families. Who now have to bail out water. And are we to live like this all our lives?
By the way, Ella lives in the third entrance — in the first and second, there is no such problem, because there are porches there.
In the comments, residents of neighboring houses wrote that they also have similar issues: "In nearby houses, basements are flooded, there's an unbearable stench in the entrances, elevators can be out of service for weeks. We wrote a collective complaint, but what's the point... They just pass the buck to each other."
However, one of the commentators tried to blame the residents themselves for what was happening. Saying that everyone in the yard should have cleared the snow so this wouldn't happen.
