In Chita, the demolition of the "falling" house in the North began.

In Chita, demolition of the so-called "falling" house, which is located at the address in the Northern district, 39, has begun. Now the contractor is dismantling the engineering networks inside the building, the press service of the city administration reported on Tuesday, April 28.

It is planned to start dismantling the structures of the house within a month, writes ChitaMedia news agency. The contract states that the work must be completed by November 30, 2026.

The building was put into operation in the fall of 1989. Subsequently, it was deformed. The survey showed that this was due to the thawing of long-term frozen soils, which led to the lowering of the foundation and the deviation of the object from the vertical axis. The tenants were resettled.

Earlier in April, Izvestia wrote that the regions were inefficiently spending funds on the resettlement of emergency housing. As of December 1, 2025, 32 subjects had not fulfilled the targets, and their remaining emergency housing area was 14.5% of the planned national total.
