Almost 40% of residential buildings in the Trans-Baikal Territory were declared emergency

In the Trans-Baikal Territory, almost 40% of the housing stock is in disrepair. The prosecutor of the region, Alexander Yanovsky, said this on April 29, opening a meeting of the board of the regional prosecutor's office.

We are talking about 2.5 thousand apartment buildings, in which more than 26 thousand people live. At the same time, emergency and demolished facilities are present in most municipalities of Transbaikalia.

Within the framework of the regional targeted program, which has been in effect for the last six years and is designed until 2025, 3,095 people have been relocated from emergency housing, which is 45% of the planned volume. More than 10 billion rubles are needed for the full implementation of the program, including the demolition of already resettled houses, but funds are not planned in the budget, the prosecutor's office notes.

In addition, the prosecutor's inspection showed that there are no mechanisms in the region for resettling houses that were declared emergency after January 1, 2017, and monitoring of their technical condition is not fully ensured. The prosecutors also identified 98 decisions on the recognition of houses as emergency, which do not specify the terms of their resettlement, writes IA ChitaMedia.

"The investment attractiveness of the mechanisms of integrated territorial development (CDT) is insufficient, one of the existing 12 projects is actually in the works. At the same time, they are not aimed at solving the problem of emergency housing," the agency's website says.

The implementation of the CRT projects will make it possible to resettle 16.5 thousand square meters of emergency housing out of the existing 500 thousand square meters. Thus, they need to be reviewed. The board meeting also developed a set of measures aimed at solving the accumulated problems, the prosecutor's office concluded.

Earlier in April, Alexey Yeresko, Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing of the Russian Federation, said in an interview with Izvestia that about 42% of utility networks in Russia require replacement or renovation. Over the next six years, it is planned to replace more than 50,000 km of more than 950 thousand km of water supply, sanitation and heat supply pipes.
