Construction worker Shi Tieniu bought a presale apartment in an industrial city in northwestern China 's Shaanxi province.
Eight years later , it is an unfinished shell, and every night he must climb 20 flights of stairs to sleep in a threadbare room without water, heating or electricity.
Shi and a few dozen desperate home buyers live in the block in Tongchuan city as part of a nationwide campaign to pressure authorities to address so-called "rotting" or unfinished homes that have become more common during a years-long property slump.
