There is a social experiment where, on a crowded street, a person fell in a fainting, helped was significantly less often than in a little bit. Logic is understandable-since the street is crowded, then someone else can do it for me ... And so everyone thinks ...
About the same, people act with problems with lighting in the yards, with problems with hot water in the entrance or the smell of sewage in the entrance. Someone else will do this for me, because not one thing is uncomfortable for me ... That's how everyone thinks, but no one appears to the relevant authorities or managing to solve the problem.
Actually, I am telling a real case where, in the Baltic Street Baltiyskaya Street, 4 weeks, lanterns in the yard do not work. But no one informs about the problem. I contacted the chapter in the evening, she reports that there were no applications from residents. Apparently, residents only discuss this problem in their kitchens. Actually, without an application, it is difficult to start and repair!
This is me to the fact that in 90% of cases on such small household problems, the authorities will hear you and eliminate the problem. Call, do not wait for someone else to do it for you!
Although the problem is not always eliminated. I had a case when I heard the merging water into the basement, found the keys to the basement and turned to the control to eliminate the problem. They did not eliminate. I turned again. They simply changed the lock in the basement ... Yes, there are such crooks.
Or here is the story on Vienna, where the developer "Special Projectzhstroy" not to make the way even through the appeal to the traffic police and the prosecutor's office.
But there are not many such troublemakers. Do not be afraid to ask to eliminate the problem! Moreover, the executive branch receives a salary from your taxes, and you feed the management through monthly payments directly.
