Alexander Bastrykin has ordered a criminal investigation into the refusal to resettle residents of a dilapidated building in Novocherkassk.

The apartment building, located on Yunosti Street in Novocherkassk, was built in 1964. On February 14, brickwork collapsed in a building. A gap formed near the fourth floor, where cornice slabs and concrete lintels were located, Don 24 reported on February 15. The building was declared unsafe back in 2024, when experts determined there was a risk of structural collapse. However, authorities were in no rush to relocate residents. Alexander Bastrykin instructed Aslan Khuada, head of the Investigative Committee for the Rostov Region, to prepare a report on the progress of the criminal investigation and all the circumstances identified. As reported by the Caucasian Knot, experts have deemed the condition of the apartment building on Kozlova Street in Rostov-on-Don, which was declared unsafe back in 2020, critical. District officials have initiated the resettlement of residents.
