According to the short-term implementation plan of the capital repair program approved by the Ministry of Energy and Housing and Utilities of Omsk Region, 930 elevators will be replaced.

The total cost of the work, funded by the capital repair fund, will be 3.08 billion rubles (about $33.9 million at current rates) — on average, 3.3 million rubles (about $36,300) per elevator. The most expensive site is building No. 18 on Krasny Put, where 18 elevators need replacement, requiring nearly 59.3 million rubles (about $652,300). The deadline for this work has been postponed for more than a year, and this building is not the only one on the list.

Contributions for capital repairs are the only source of funding for the regional program of capital repairs of common property in apartment buildings. These funds are earmarked and are used to pay for such work as roof, facade, basement, and foundation repairs, as well as in-house engineering systems and elevator replacements, noted the press service of the regional operator.

As of January 1, 2026, the collection rate of contributions from buildings that accumulate money for capital repairs in a common account was 92.53%. Over the 12 years of the program, Omsk residents have paid 15.3 billion rubles (about $168.3 million) in bills. In 2026, the capital repair of 1,172 multi-story buildings in Omsk Region is estimated at 5 billion rubles (about $55 million).
