Dangerous ruins: Kirov residents demand to demolish abandoned houses in Lyangasovo and Fileyka

      Dilapidated buildings on Lenin and Shorin streets in the Lyangasovo and Fileyka neighborhoods have become a real threat to residents. After the resettlement, houses No. 3 and No. 5 on Lenin Street are empty, but no one restricts access to them. Windows and doors are not boarded up, which attracts schoolchildren — children walk through abandoned floors, risking falling into destroyed stairwells or injuring themselves on protruding nails. On the upper floors, you can easily stumble and fall.

      The situation is similar on Shorina Street — houses No. 6 and No. 8 are located in the immediate vicinity of residential buildings. Locals fear that teenagers may accidentally start a fire. In addition, rats have bred in abandoned buildings, with which children arrange "games" without realizing the possible consequences, including bites and infections.

      Residents of the surrounding houses turned to the Popular Front for help. According to the head of the regional office, Valeria Cheremisinova, the administration should have boarded up the windows and doors to restrict access to the buildings. However, the authorities refer to the fact that the houses in Lyangasovo have not yet been formally recognized as permanently settled, so it is not yet possible to demolish them.

      "So far, the authorities have only promised to preserve the facilities as soon as possible. If this does not happen, we will contact the prosecutor's office," Cheremisinova said.

      Residents hope that the situation will be resolved before disaster strikes.
