Boiling Water Floods Volgograd Building, Residents Seek Aid

Residents of building No. 12 on Saushinskaya Street intend to send appeals to the General Prosecutor«s Office and Governor Andrey Bocharov, asking to save their emergency building from flooding with boiling water.

In a video appeal, people explained that the building has been on the list for resettlement since 2017. «Two weeks ago, our heating batteries started bursting, and yesterday in one of the apartments, a riser pipe ruptured. Boiling water is pouring onto the floor. The emergency service arrived and said they couldn»t do anything. The plumbers came and left just like that. In the apartment where the riser burst, there is a woman who is visually impaired. Officials said they know about the problem, but nothing has progressed. On the first floors, it«s already very bad, boiling water is leaking everywhere. All this is pouring on people»s heads, all walls are wet, the second floors are simply suffocating like in a sauna. And on the first floors, it«s just a swimming pool!» the residents said.

The management company «Zhemchuzhina» (Pearl), which services the building, stated that they are surprised by the complaints, as according to their data, the accident has already been fixed. The future of the building is being clarified with the Volgograd city administration.
