The building, which is a 5-storey apartment located in Güngören, was evacuated as a precautionary measure due to cracks on the walls.

The 5-storey building in Güngören was evacuated as a precaution due to cracks on its walls.
Cracks appeared on the walls of the 5-storey apartment building located on Sırpsındığı Street in Abdurrahman Nafiz Gürman Neighborhood in the morning. Upon the notification of the residents of the building who heard the cracking sounds, municipal police teams were dispatched to the scene. While the building was evacuated as a precaution, municipal police teams took security measures around the building. The residents of the apartment were allowed to enter the building one by one to collect their belongings.
THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FOUNDATION OF THE BUILDING
Some citizens who have relatives went to stay with them, while those who have nowhere to stay can reside in the temporary accommodations provided by Güngören Municipality. According to the examination conducted by Güngören Municipality teams, it was learned that the cracks occurred due to a problem in the foundation of the building.
Meanwhile, it was stated that a decision will be made on whether to inhabit the building after the completion of the inspections.
"WE HEARD A COLLAPSE SOUND"
Emine Avcı, one of the residents of the apartment, stated that they heard a collapse sound and said, "It started around 07.00. We thought it was coming from the children at first. Later, we realized that it was the sound of debris. We were worried. We took the children and left. We warned the neighbors saying 'Everyone should save their lives'. There was no shaking. We heard the sound of the building collapsing. There are 8 apartments and 1 business place."
Leyla Sırdaş also said, "We woke up with the noise in the morning and ran barefoot. Something was already falling when we were escaping from the house. We barely saved our lives. They say there is a plaster crack. We absolutely do not accept it. We think it is caused by the construction site next to it."
