Dilapidated building faces evacuation as collapse risk escalates

The residential property assessments will be completed by April 10, the mayor announced. "They are essential for determining compensation amounts. On April 16, the city council will meet to approve funding allocations, and starting April 17, we will begin signing payment agreements."

According to Sergei Shelesh, residents eligible for housing under social tenancy agreements will also receive apartments. All procedures will be carried out in compliance with current legislation.

The mayor emphasized that staying in the dilapidated building is dangerous due to the risk of collapse. The property has already been disconnected from utilities, and access will be restricted.

"This is a necessary measure to protect people's lives and health," the mayor noted.

As of now, most residents have already left the building. City officials report that just over twenty people remain inside.

Those still undecided on housing have been offered temporary accommodation options. Residents can use the municipal relocation fund, move into a social hotel, or stay at a temporary shelter. After the meeting, several people went to inspect the available housing choices.

Staff from the Housing Policy Department and the Soviet District administration continue to advise residents on compensation claims and assist with relocation. Volunteers from the Young Guard of United Russia are also involved, helping transport personal belongings.
