A brick almost fell from the facade of a building on Vorovskogo Street in Kirov onto a woman with a child.

A brick almost fell from the facade of a building on Vorovskogo Street in Kirov onto a woman with a child.

      The incident occurred at the second entrance of building No. 60 on Vorovskogo Street. Resident Irina Karpova was speaking with an acquaintance when a brick fell from the facade just centimeters from her. Debris from plaster rained down on her head. She was only slightly shaken, but it could have ended in tragedy — her six-year-old daughter was nearby.

      Residents say they are afraid to approach the entrances — "stone falls" from the facade continue. Many balconies are also in a state of emergency. Meanwhile, the major repairs promised for the 650th anniversary of Kirov have been postponed to 2043–2045.

      "We don't know what will happen to the building in 20 years if bricks are already falling now. We haven't had repairs to the roof, foundation, or basement either. In 2024, we signed a contract with a contractor, but he never showed up," say the residents.

      Due to the situation, residents have contacted the president of Russia directly. The People's Front has taken the issue under control.

      "Now it is urgently necessary to repair the dangerous sections, install protective netting on balconies where the concrete is crumbling. It is also necessary to move the deadlines for major facade repairs to earlier dates. If funds on the account are insufficient, residents can hold a meeting and increase their contributions. We have filed an appeal with the prosecutor's office," said Dmitry Sergeev, an expert from the People's Front.
