Residents of a five-story building in Rostov are being resettled due to a crack.

A through-and-through crack has appeared in a five-story building on Ivanovskogo Street. Rostov-on-Don authorities announced the relocation of residents of one of the entrances to temporary housing.

A through-and-through crack was recorded today in a five-story building with three entrances at 34 Ivanovskogo Street. The building was not previously in a state of disrepair, said Rostov-on-Don Mayor Alexander Skryabin.

"Preparations are underway to relocate one entrance. Warming stations are being set up on buses for evacuated residents. Residents will be given the opportunity to relocate to temporary housing. Transportation will be provided for those wishing to temporarily relocate elsewhere," he said.

"Caucasian Knot" reported that in January 2024, the first entrance of a five-story building on Narimanov Street in Rostov-on-Don collapsed. The authorities promised to increase compensation payments to residents for property loss from 30,000 to 100,000 rubles. In January, it became known that the results of the appraisal of the per-square-meter value of living space did not satisfy the administration, and they requested a new one. In September, the Rostov-on-Don administration lost a dispute with residents of a building on Narimanov Street - the cassation court refused to conduct a new appraisal.

As of July 20, approximately 70 families are challenging the Rostov-on-Don administration's decision on the amount of compensation for apartments in the partially collapsed building on Narimanov Street in court; some of them have already won their cases. The 1.3 million rubles the administration agreed to pay were insufficient to purchase housing, they stated.

In August 2024, the Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, demanded that a criminal case be opened after residents of a crumbling building at 93 Kazakhskaya Street in Rostov-on-Don complained about the authorities' lack of response to their requests. In May, Rostov-on-Don authorities, following numerous complaints from residents of a crumbling two-story building on Kazakhskaya Street, declared it unsafe. Rostov-on-Don administration officials proposed reinforcing the walls of the building with channel beams, but residents are convinced this is futile. Cracks have already appeared in the second entrance. After a meeting between residents of the crumbling building at 93 Kazakhskaya Street and the head of Rostov-on-Don, Alexander Skryabin, a specialist came to them to assess their apartments.
