Residents of an apartment building in Craiova, Romania, are being forced to access their homes through a ground-floor shop after a neighbor locked the building’s main access gate. The neighbor claims ownership of the alleyway leading to the building and is responsible for the gate closure. The unusual situation has prompted a police investigation to determine the legality of the gate closure and ownership of the access route. Simultaneously, residents are engaged in legal disputes with each other regarding the issue. The closure has created significant inconvenience for the building’s inhabitants, requiring them to navigate through the commercial space to reach their apartments. Authorities are working to resolve the conflict and restore normal access to the building.
