In Serpukhov at 203 addresses suspended gas due to various violations
The head of Serpukhov city district Alexey Shimko held a weekly meeting, where the main topic was gas security in apartment buildings

In the district, almost 1,420 gasified houses are more than 70,000 apartments. During the year, maintenance was carried out in almost 90% of the apartments, but specialists did not get into almost 8 thousand apartments, of which about 1500 were not serviced for more than two years.
During inspections, more than 1,300 gas appliances with a service life of more than 15 years were identified. Old stoves, columns and boilers may look serviceable, but wear and tear of metal and seals makes them dangerous, so end-of-life appliances need to be changed. According to violations with the suspension of gas supply, 203 addresses are listed, the main reasons are ventilation problems, leaks and unauthorized rewiring of equipment. Today, 8 houses and 68 apartments have been disconnected.
From March 1, new rules apply: only gas distribution organizations can carry out maintenance. All owners need to conclude a contract, and if it was with a specialized organization - to renegotiate before the end of the year. Without a contract, the gas supply can be suspended even if the bills are paid on time. Alexey Shimko instructed specialized services and management companies to help with access to apartments, where specialists could not get.
