Residents voicing concerns over building conditions in 12-story Haderner Stern, due to absence of elevators.
Haderner Stern Residential Fiasco
Munich – Life in the Haderner Stern high-rise buildings has become a breeding ground for grime, with broken elevators, pigeon invasions, and a lack of action from the Bavarian Provident Fund, the complex's owner. Tenants have had enough and are pleading for improvement.
Complaints Galore
Sabine Riedl, a tenacious tenant representative, has already appealed to the Hadern district committee due to the growing filth in the residential complex. Despite communication from the Bavarian Provident Fund suggesting they no longer have time to engage with the tenants' initiative, Senior Advisor Ingrid Appel is still making headway, yet results are scarce.
Cry for Help
In an effort to amplify the tenants' distress, Derya Bozaba-Baylaz (SPD), local representative and AKIM ally, proposed a night walk at Haderner Stern to investigate the reported teenager loitering situation in the stairwells. Though no troublemakers were spotted on this nightwatch, the BA (Bavarian Administration) has reached out to the Ministry of the Interior via Justice Minister Georg Eisenreich, a nearby neighbor, seeking aid.
Upon inquiry, the Bavarian Provident Fund reassured that the complex passed an inspection with flying colors. However, in light of its popularity among tourists and guests from neighboring complexes, dirt has unfortunately followed suit. Regular cleanliness maintenance from an external service provider is allegedly in place.
Pigeon Problem
The pigeon infestation is another issue that the owner of the complex acknowledges. Despite adhering to animal welfare regulations, the full cooperation of the tenants is still essential. Feeding the pigeons is strictly forbidden as part of the solution.
Elevator Epidemic
The smaller elevator in building No. 39, which serves 12 floors, has been non-operational since the end of April, while the larger one has been dysfunctional since August 2024. Despite numerous complaints, the housing administration remains unresponsive. This leaves residents – particularly those with mobility challenges – to navigate arduous detours between floors six, eight, and nine, or endure the strain of climbing several floors with limited access to certain side buildings.
Tenants' Tense Appeal
Frustrated tenants have drafted a strong-worded letter, signed by numerous residents, requesting immediate repairs for the malfunctioning elevators and permanent assurance of their functionality. Despite a deep love for their residence and the desire to call it home, they feel deceived and disheartened by the current circumstances.
