The Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin held a visiting meeting on the overhaul
program of apartment buildings and social facilities. The head of the city
visited kindergarten at 35a Fatykha Amirkhana St., 35a and apartment building
at 11/14 Sotsialisticheskaya Street. They are united by a mutual problem – a
roof leak. After the appeal of parents of preschool children and residents of
the building to the Open Kazan system, I. Metshin personally visited the
facilities to speed up the solution of the problem.
The kindergarten No. 248 for 220 children was built in 1977, and since
then there has never been renovated. The total area of the roof of the building
is 1,200 sq.m. Director of the preschool Lilia Sevastyanova noted that the roof
in the building has been leaking for a long time. “Every year we carried out
maintenance works, the roof was tared in places of leakage. But it had a temporary
effect,”- explained Lilia Sevastyanova.
This year, the problem has worsened – leaks on the second floor are
observed both in the corridors and in the rooms where children are engaged.
Because of this, one of the 11 groups temporarily closed in January. To ensure
that the educational process was not interrupted, 14 kids were divided into
parallel groups. A total of 195 children attend preschool.
“As soon as the weather conditions permit, it is necessary to
immediately start roofing work. This is our priority, our responsibility to
parents, - the head of the city said. – In kindergarten No. 248, windows were
changed, utilities were repaired, nevertheless a renovation was required in the
building.”
Today there are 326 preschools in Kazan, including 313 kindergartens, 2 preschools
and preschool departments at 11 schools. Kindergartens of Kazan are attended by
74,126 children.
The visiting meeting continued in the three-storey apartment building at
11/14 Sotsialisticheskaya Street in the Aviastroitelny city district. The house
was built in 1950, its residents left applications in the Open Kazan system
about a leaking roof, because of which several apartments were damaged.
Iskander Giniyatullin, deputy head of the Executive Committee, told the
head of the city that the roof of this building was last repaired in 2006.
During this period, the property management company repaired the entrance and
chimneys, replaced the ceilings. The work was carried out as part of the maintenance
work. Over the past few years, according to the overhaul program, the heating
system was replaced, as well as water supply and sanitation systems,
electricity supply, regulation units for thermal energy were installed.
The head of the city visited one of the apartments where there was a
leak, and talked with the owner. She said that during the rains, the ceiling
leaked in one of the rooms, and now repairs are being carried out there.
For reference, this year in Kazan, under the overhaul program, work will
be carried out at 195 apartment buildings, where almost 50 thousand people
live. Repair of heating systems, facades and roofs will be completed before the
start of the heating season – September 15, all other work – by November 1. In
addition, the territories of 19 houses will be landscaped as part of the Our
Yard program.
