It all started last Wednesday, October 2, in… Construction of the Bliska Wola Tower building at the intersection of ul. Kasprzak et al. Millennium Prime Minister in Warsaw. The main part of the estate consists of three interconnected skyscrapers, 840 m long, and the tallest, 26-story, is 92 m high. Almost 1.8 miles were created there. building Most of them are apartments, but there are also commercial, office and hotel buildings.
First floods, then fire
This is a famous estate it is sometimes referred to as “Warsaw’s Hong Kong”because of the density and type of development as well as a large number of buildings in a small area, which shows links with Asian “ant houses”. The investment was implemented in the fall of 2022. The first owners began to move in in October of this year. It was the residents who told us about a real failure in the building.

– On Wednesday night, the electrical switch in Tower C was flooded, which caused a fire and the intervention of the fire brigade. This caused a problem in the form of lack of access to water and electricity – Mr. Bartosz, one of the residents of the building, informed us at the end of last week.
– The building manager, JW Construction, does not communicate regularly with the residents. In response to the situation, he only sent a short email late in the evening, explaining the failure and ongoing repairs. Several hours have passed since the power outage and the manager has yet to provide detailed information. Residents, as well as local entrepreneurs, are in a difficult situation – food in freezers is beginning to spoil, and the lack of electricity paralyzes their daily life and activities – said Mr. Bartosz.
Last Thursday, the switch was dried. Unfortunately, technical service personnel were unable to provide residents with any specific information on when the failure would be repaired.
This is not the first case like this. “We want to work normally”
– This situation is reminiscent of what happened from August, when the residents of tower A were left without electricity for almost three weeks due to a similar failure. We, like our neighbors in tower A, fear that we will be without electricity for several weeks. We do not want to be responsible for the slow actions of the manager, but just to be able to function normally as residents of other housing estates – added a resident of “Warsaw’s Hong Kong”.
It seems that the water problem is already solved. She returned to the tapes. However, in most places there is still no electricity.

– When asked where residents should charge their phones, laptops, and how to work from home, the manager replied that there are sockets in the stairs on other levels and can you charge them there. Residents camp in the corridors near these sockets. The manager does not accept any responsibility and sends uncertain emails asking for understanding. Today’s email shows that as a resident of the second floor, I will be without electricity until October 22nd, ie for three weeks after cancellation – Mr. Bartosz is worried.

We received many more similar signals from “Warsaw Hong Kong”. So we contacted the developer who built and managed the Bliska Wola Tower building – the already mentioned company JW Construction. We asked, among others: how many residents are affected by this problem, how many buildings do not have electricity and details of the failure.
Hundreds of buildings without water and electricity due to “faulty processing”
“The failure happened on Wednesday in the early hours of the afternoon. After 24-hours, continuous work, power was restored to 250 buildings on Friday morning. In addition, since Friday, water has been working in all buildings. Currently, 120 buildings are still without electricity “- says Martyna Dziopak-Mroczka, the company’s PR Manager.
We also wanted to know what caused the flooding of the switch and the fire, and whether it could be some kind of design flaw, as a similar situation occurred in August this year. in tower A and can this situation repeat itself.
“The cause of the flooding is the faulty change of the electrical switch without the permission of the water installation by the owner of the building for change purposes. built according to the approved design, confirmed by the main planner and designer of the building at yesterday’s meeting for electrical installations The solutions used are in accordance with the technical conditions and the technical knowledge of as well as building principles,” confirms Martyna Dziopak-Mroczka.
“The building is located on one of the upper floors of the building. As a result of a faulty switch, the water installation in the building went out, and as a result water came out under the abrasive and finishing levels of the thermal and acoustic insulation floor that was made. of polystyrene.

“The cause of the previous failure, which occurred in tower A in June this year, was the installation of the sprinkler installation in the commercial buildings, which led to flooding of the electrical shaft from the outside, resulting in massive failure. .
Power outage for up to two more weeks
We ask when this current failure will be fixed and electricity restored to the building, why it has taken so long, and what the manager is advising residents and staff. entrepreneurs in this situation.
“We are facing a serious failure, with almost 20 people working on it at the moment, including experts from the electricity industry, technicians and building custodians, as well as representatives from the administration. factors, including: . – Morocco.
“Since last Wednesday, we have been working continuously to restart the entire building’s power supply as soon as possible and in a safe condition. Current information given to us by the contractor shows that other buildings will be connected to the power supply from 14 October. We expect to complete the entire process within the next two weeks It is worth mentioning that this process must take place in controlled conditions, and therefore, before power is subsequently restored to buildings , all necessary inspections, works and measurements must be carried out. so that our residents can use their property safely – he said.
Finally, we refer to the residents’ complaints about poor communication between them and the manager, not providing specific information, and sending uncertain emails. The manager does not agree with these allegations.
“We do everything to keep residents informed about the progress of the work and the next steps. We send an email to all tenants every day, and we also post new notifications in the deposit area. Our staff always answer calls from residents, and in addition, to improve communication, we have launched a dedicated hotline management service at a dedicated number for all man,” says Martyna Dziopak-Mroczka.
