During the construction of a new school in the Serebryany Bereg microdistrict, a series of violations were found back in March 2025, which were to be corrected by mid-September 2025. However, an unscheduled inspection conducted by Gosstroynadzor (State Construction Supervision) on 3 December 2025 showed that not all shortcomings had been fixed. Subsequently, the agency filed a lawsuit to bring the institution UprKapStroy (Capital Construction Management) to administrative responsibility.
The violations discovered during the December inspection mainly concerned compliance with the design documentation. Not all solutions used at the construction site matched those originally in the project. For example, some prefabricated structures were replaced with monolithic ones. Some deficiencies were eliminated by updating the documentation with actual construction solutions, but more serious violations remained unchanged:
Cracks were found in the basement walls;
Floor slabs were installed without anchoring to the exterior walls or to each other;
A hole was cut in the basement wall, exposing reinforcement bars;
There is no mortar layer under the bearing part of the floor slabs to distribute the load;
The maximum permissible deviations of piles after driving were exceeded.
The requirement of Gosstroynadzor was not supported in court. UprKapStroy was not brought to administrative responsibility with the rationale that the statute of limitations for this order expired in mid-December, and now it has passed — the ruling was made at the end of January.
“In the case under consideration, the said limitation period for bringing the Institution to administrative responsibility for failure to comply with the order within the prescribed period expired on 14 December 2025. By virtue of the provisions of Part 1 of Article 4.5 and Paragraph 6 of Part 1 of Article 24.5 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation, proceedings in an administrative offence case cannot be initiated, and initiated proceedings shall be terminated if the established limitation periods have expired,” states the ruling of the Arbitration Court of Omsk Region.
The long-suffering School No. 155 in Serebryany Bereg was put into operation at the end of December 2025. Studies there will begin after the institution receives a license.
