Since the beginning of 2025 in Moscow experts have checked more than 100 thousand gas stoves in the apartments of citizens. This was reported on Tuesday, February 4, by Deputy Mayor of the capital on housing and public utilities and improvement Petr Biryukov.

In Moscow about 1.8 million families use gas stoves, it is important to check such equipment in time. Responsibility for maintenance in proper condition and replacement of gas equipment rests with the owner or tenant of the residential premises, notes "Moscow 24".
