Residents of a five-story building in disrepair on Narimanov Street in Rostov-on-Don broke the locks and entered the building, contrary to a ban from local authorities, to take away personal belongings. 161.RU writes about this.
After this, as the publication reports, the police and the head of the administration of the Voroshilovsky district of the city, Viktor Berezhnoy, arrived at the scene. They did not detain any of the residents of the damaged building, but later a worker welded the doors of the entrances.
One of the residents of the house on Narimanov Street, Elena Varchenko, said that the building was initially planned to be taken by storm. “We distracted the guards, knocked down the locks with a sledgehammer, and went in to get our things. The doors were not welded, only padlocks. People are just tired of eating the administration’s noodles!” — the Rostovite commented on what happened.
She also added that “the raid will be repeated, and more than once.” “You can solder the doors, weld the doors, you can, I don’t know, put bars on the windows. But this will not save you in the same way. Give us our things, give us our compensation, leave us alone!” — said the woman. According to Varchenko, residents of one of the entrances discovered that things in their apartments were scattered and overturned — Rostov residents had previously seen looters not far from the five-story building.
One of the entrances of the five-story building on Narimanov, 72/3 collapsed at the end of January — shortly before this, a crack appeared in the building, after which the residents of the house were urgently evacuated, not allowing them to take their things. Later, the city authorities forbade entering the building, since the five-story building could collapse at any moment — back in 2020 it was declared unsafe.
On January 28, the office of the Investigative Committee for the Rostov Region opened a criminal case for negligence (Part 1 of Article 293 of the Criminal Code ) due to the partial collapse of an emergency building. Previously, residents of the five-story building built in 1963 complained that the house was “collapsing before our eyes,” but the authorities did not resettle them from the building.
