Історія

The building at 3 Klionovycha Street was constructed according to a common project for four buildings by the architects Jakub Sołomon Kroch and Maurycy Silberstein and located on parcel number 504, 505 and 506 4/4 under conscription numbers 726 4/4 (5 Kokhanovskoho Street, presently Levytskoho Street), 727 4/4 (7 Kokhanovskoho), 728 4/4 (3 Klionovycha) and 725 4/4 (4 Milkovskoho Street, presently Hulaka-Artemovskoho Street). The project was approved by the magistrate on 10 September 1893. The above-mentioned buildings belonged to the architects J. Kroch and M. Silberstein at the turn of the nineteenth century.

On 14 June 1913 Teresa Bernfeld, the owner of the building on 3 Klionovycha Street, asked the magistrate to pass a resolution regarding a wall in her building getting wet because of a damaged water pipe in the lavatories of a neighboring building owned by Tomasz Zieliński and located on 7 Kokhanovskoho Street. On 16 June 1913 the magistrate transferred this appeal to the government building agency.

On 17 September 1904 J. Kroch protested against a resolution of the magistrate dated 25 July 1904 regarding the order to move a toilet sink from the guard’s premises outside and threatening him with a fine in case of not obeying the resolution. Dr. Albert Reis, the attorney of J. Kroch, submitted an appeal regarding this regulation since in his opinion the case regarding the move of a toilet sink was legally unfounded and the water supply service did not demand anything like that. The attorney’s appeal explained that in the building of 3 Klionovycha Street each renter had a sink in his kitchen for his own usage. Only a single-room apartment on the first floor did not have such a sink since it had been part of the neighboring premises and had become a rental facility later on. It was not necessary to set up a sink in his premise since its renter needed just one pitcher of water which he was getting either from the guard or from the water pipe outside. The attorney asked the magistrate to cancel the regulation dated 25 July 1904.
