Concerns over alleged property encroachment and aggressive construction have emerged in Tirana’s Dry Lake area, on Hamdi Sina Street, where a local resident has publicly accused construction company “Bega 07” and its owner, Arben Muçoçbega, of entering her property, removing a fence and allegedly altering property boundaries.
According to messages and footage sent by the resident, construction activity in the area has allegedly extended into spaces claimed by private property owners, raising questions over property boundaries and the legality of the works being carried out.
“They are going to push my fence inside my property because they want to build an apartment building without respecting the required distance, without anything. They enter the property without permission and remove fences without permission,” the woman said in her complaint.
The resident claims that she possesses documentation and property records confirming her ownership and says that the construction activity has nevertheless continued.
She also says that she contacted the police over the alleged encroachment but claims that no effective intervention followed.
In an emotional account of the situation, the woman expressed her frustration over what she described as repeated attempts to encroach on her land.
“The police do nothing. They tell you to go and file a complaint... I have nothing left but to take up a gun now. I go up, I go down, and this is how they are taking my land,” she said.
Her remarks underline the level of frustration that can arise when property owners believe their rights are not being adequately protected by public institutions.
The allegations also raise broader questions about construction activity in one of Tirana’s rapidly developing areas, particularly regarding respect for property boundaries, construction setbacks and the enforcement of planning and property regulations.
At this stage, the claims made by the resident and published by JOQ have not been independently verified by Ocnal. It is also unclear whether the construction company or the relevant authorities have provided an official response to the allegations.
The case now raises a basic question: will the competent institutions intervene to establish whether the property boundaries and construction rules are being respected, or will the dispute remain a private battle between a property owner and a developer?
Ocnal will follow the case and any response from the company or public institutions involved.
