In Novosibirsk, the court ordered to resettle 39 people from the emergency house seven years earlier

In Novosibirsk, the prosecutor’s office achieved through the court a reduction in the terms of resettlement of an emergency apartment building on Dobrolyubov Street. Instead of the originally established year 2034, the city authorities must ensure the resettlement of residents no later than December 31, 2027.

As reported in the Prosecutor’s office of the Novosibirsk region, violations of housing legislation revealed during the inspection. It was established that the apartment building was previously recognized as emergency and subject to demolition, but the municipality provided for its resettlement only by 2034.

There are 13 residential premises in the building, in which 39 people live. Despite the official emergency status of the house, people continued to remain in unsafe conditions.

At the same time, in 2026, the Novosibirsk City Hall introduced a high-alert regime for the building. This decision indicates the need for additional security measures and control over the condition of emergency structures.

During the inspection, prosecutors concluded that the settlement period established by the city authorities violates the housing rights of citizens.

To protect the interests of residents, the prosecutor of Novosibirsk appealed to the Central District Court with a statement of claim. The supervisory authority demanded to recognize illegal the decision of the mayor’s office in terms of the settlement period and set a new date – no later than December 31, 2027.

Having considered the case materials, the court fully satisfied the requirements of the prosecutor's office. Thus, the resettlement period provided by the municipality was reduced by seven years.

Now the city authorities will have to organize the resettlement of residents of the emergency building, taking into account the court decision. At the same time, the specific timing of the provision of apartments to individual families has not yet been specified.

The prosecutor’s office stressed that the execution of the court decision is under the supervision of the supervisory authority. The actual completion of the resettlement of residents has not yet been reported.

Earlier, “MK in Novosibirsk” reported that the court ordered to accelerate the resettlement of an emergency house on Podbelsky Street.
