In Kurgan, city emergency services and the local administration decided to relocate residents living in a house with a collapsing load-bearing wall to Krasnomayachnaya Street, 62a. This move was reported by 45.RU, citing the city administration’s press service. The decision followed an assessment that the structure had suffered neglect tied to an illegal water network reconstruction and waste disposal into the building’s basement. The authorities explained that restoring the house would help ensure safety for the long term, and during the repair period, residents living in the building under social rental agreements would be evacuated.
Officials indicated that those displaced would be offered flexible housing options, including temporary hotel accommodations if they could not immediately secure a new residence. Transportation would be arranged to help residents move their belongings. The deputy head of the city, Roman Medvedev, who also serves as the director of the housing and communal services department, personally supervised the project. He emphasized that the Krasnomayachnaya Street building presents one of the most complex cases in the city due to its intricate communications network and the scale of restoration required.
In Rostov-on-Don, February saw the collapse of a load-bearing wall in an emergency building, underscoring the urgency of proactive relocation plans. The broader framework for emergency housing relocations was discussed at the national level, with the Council of Ministers expected to prepare a new program to support families and individuals affected by such incidents.
The situation in Kurgan demonstrates how city authorities coordinate safety assessments, resident protections, and logistical support during significant structural concerns. By coordinating evacuation, temporary housing, and eventual rebuilding, officials aim to maintain stability for residents while ensuring a careful, stepwise approach to repairs and housing continuity. The actions reflect a broader commitment to safeguarding public housing stock and providing clear pathways for residents to secure safe accommodations during times of upheaval.
