At least 76 people died when a building caught fire In the South African city of Johannesburg on 31 August.
The building had been "hijacked" - taken over by a gang who were illegally renting it out.
It's a common phenomenon in the city, where dozens of buildings are in a similar situation.
The BBC got access to another hijacked building across the street from where the fire happened, to see what conditions are like in these blocks.
