I had posted this a few minutes earlier but removed it because there was a slight possibility that it was one of the neighbors, I have now verified that it was indeed the city municipality.
The roof was replaced a few years ago by us, with our own money and was perfectly fine, and btw no idea where thousands of dollars worth of my roofing sheets are now. I’m sitting in my apartment now trying to process what the fuck happened because when I went to bed yesterday it was, nice, clean and perfect. Now it looks like a room you see inside the wreck of titanic lol.
Like I’m not even mad at the moment, but I feel like I will go into murderous rage within the next hour.
Edit: further investigation revealed that a poor old lady which lives in one of the apartments of the building that complained about her rusted over roof leaking. The city municipality has decided to remove our perfectly fine roof too while they were at it.
Edit 2: Oh fuck it’s raining again! Pray for me!
Edit 3: some people seem confused and seem to think that the roof repairs that I did 10 years ago were illegal and thus the government has decided to remove the roof. They were not, I repaired it with government supervision, consent and it’s all within their regulations, down to the sheets color and material, I have papers to prove it. Look at the support beams they are ancient, I wasn’t allowed to touch those so I didn’t. At the time I was given two options, wait for a few months for the government to do it for free, or do it myself, i opted for the second option because I didn’t want rain water to damage my apartment. This was 10 years ago. Currently this wasn’t the government removing an undesirable modification to the roof (which there’s non to speak off) they just messed up their repairs and took out parts which they weren’t supposed to… in a rainy season. They have this far admitted that it was their mistake, but no comment right now on compensation and repairs.

I do not understand, how did the municipality intervene in your own roof?
Nevertheless, do you need a helping hand to clear out the ruble and restoration? Please let me know I’d be happy to.

Avinyan is indeed an idiot. If you think from this perspective it makes a lot more sense. I thought he was corrupt but being an idiot makes a lot more sense.

Why and how did they do this?

That’s serious damage to property. I bet you could start by calling their hotline for any information. Otherwise, take a lot of pictures and call the police. Let them investigate.

Are you the owner of the building or just a tenant? How many apartments are in the building?

Was that roof really yours? Did you really need that gray and bleak roof? There wasn’t even a restaurant on that roof for gods sake. And in fact, the fate of that roof has been decided in Lisbon in 1996

Maybe just stop building unsolicited roofs upon buildings, there are so many that are ruining the city landscape, it’s shameful. City municipality is in wrong here because they did it without a consent but…hel, just stop building shitty things additionally on top of buildings

The government used money stolen from you to ruin your house. That’s the essence of a government, if allowed people in the government ruin and plunder everything they touch.
This is not because they are bad people, it happens because the power they get, and the need to protect that power shifts their perspective.
There is only one technology discovered so far capable to tame this, (which have been discovered 300 years ago in USA https://youtu.be/bIfra3cYH3o) federalism and pyramidal structure, where the most power is given to local levels, and the top level is only concerned with army and international relations, but does not have neither money nor the power to interfere with local issues.
Today, just like before the 2018 pseudo-revolution, the local government in Yerevan is effectively appointed by the PM, and therefore serves PM and not the citizens.
And will keep floundering in the same shit until we learn the basic technology of taming the government.
Each district in Yerevan must have separate government, with separate taxes, locally elected police chief and locally elected judges. With separate landscaping departments. That way competition between districts would lead to some of them finding better solutions, e.g. for roofs they should allow people to build mansards and leave maintenance of each section to the owner of the mansard.
