Authority on Legal Matters: Close to Half of Homes in Transbaikalia Identified as Potentially Hazardous

In the remote reaches of Zabaykalsky Krai, a burning issue has come under the spotlight - the masses living in dilapidated housing conditions. A high-powered summit, led by regional prosecutor Alexander Yanovsky and governor Alexander Osiptov, aimed to tackle the根源 of the acute resettlement crisis.

An eyebrow-raising 40% of multi-apartment buildings in the region are crumbling, with over 26,000 folks calling these decaying structures home. Yet, more than 2,000 of these problematic properties are missing from the official records, making supervision and work planning incredibly difficult.

Progress has been painstakingly slow, with only 45% of the planned resettlements - approximately 3,095 people - being relocated in the last six years. трагически, 77 buildings that were evacuated remain standing, while an extra ~~10~~ billion rubles are needed to resolve the housing debacle once and for all.

The meeting unveiled numerous hurdles, such as the absence of procedures for resettling buildings declared dilapidated after 2017, with 98 such rulings failing to set specific evacuation deadlines. Adding to the chaos, 1,016 buildings lack proper management. Only one out of every 12 territorial development plans is underway, allowing for the resettlement of just a minuscule 16,500 square meters compared to the whopping 500,000 needed.

The prosecutor's office has already unearthed over a thousand cases of citizens' rights violations, issued more than 400 reprimands, and initiated a criminal investigation against negligent officials. Nine districts in the region have established temporary housing funds.

A suite of solutions was agreed upon during the meeting, setting the stage for joint action between regional authorities and municipalities to stamp out the accumulated problems in the resettlement sector.

It was earlier reported that residents of a dilapidated building on Savvateevskaya Street in Borzya were promised a new dwelling by year's end. Additionally, the Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, demanded an update on the investigation of the non-resettlement of residents of a derelict building on Divizionnaya Street in Chita. The prosecutor's office is taking a keen interest in the matter too.

Soviet-era infrastructure woes were possibly inherited, as illustrated by the dire conditions faced during the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway, when cost-cutting measures skipped towns like Tomsk. Although these historical hiccups might shed light on broader development patterns, they don't directly pertain to the current housing predicament in Zabaykalsky Krai. Programs like the Housing and Urban Environment project, which aim to tackle dilapidated housing in Russian regions, need to tailor their efforts for the Krai to offer a viable solution. Keep your eyes peeled for recent updates from the Zabaykalsky Krai government or Russia's Ministry of Construction to learn about their latest initiatives.
