Gosstroynadzor: the marketplace warehouse that burned down in St. Petersburg was built illegally
It turned out that the warehouse of one of the country's large marketplaces that burned down in St. Petersburg on Saturday was built illegally; the building was not put into operation. The acting head of the Gosstroynadzor service, Vyacheslav Zakharov, told 78.ru about this.
«There was no application for commissioning. They issued a certificate of compliance in 2022, and then the developer himself [submits an application]. In general, they should not have worked with such papers without permission,” Zakharova said.
In addition, a source in the Ministry of Emergency Situations said that the warehouse that burned down in Shushary was never inspected by the fire inspectorate.
< p>The rescue department suggests that the cause of the fire could have been faulty wiring. According to preliminary information, the total damage from the incident is estimated at approximately 10 billion rubles.
A fire in a warehouse in St. Petersburg occurred early in the morning on January 13. It is noted that the flames covered an area of 1000 square meters. The fire spread very quickly throughout the territory, and after 20 minutes the fire was assigned the rank of 2-BIS.
