Issues of housing and communal services, the use of family capital, and the improvement of the Bilevo-3 microdistrict. Sergey Levkovich held a reception for citizens in Vitebsk
Issues related to housing and communal services, landscaping, leasing of a lake, use of family capital, and more were considered during a personal reception of citizens by the President's Aide – Inspector for the Vitebsk Region, Sergey Levkovich.
Two residents of Vitebsk, living in a multi-story building on Titova Street, came to the reception with the President's Aide. One of them, who lives on the first floor, shared the problems faced by the residents:
– Due to a leak in the basement, there is an unbearable smell in the apartments. Recently, there was a sewage system failure – all its contents ended up in the toilet and bathtub. The emergency service eliminated the malfunctions and cleared the external networks.
The Chairman of the City Executive Committee, Alexey Geroev, confirmed that the problem is known and the external networks have indeed been checked. However, according to him, the situation requires further attention.
– Violations are often identified in this building when foreign objects are removed from the sewage system, – he noted.
– Some neighbors use the sewage system as a trash can, and it is difficult to find those responsible. Our task is to convince residents to use the benefits of civilization correctly. If accidents still occur, services must respond promptly, – said Sergey Levkovich, emphasizing the importance of the rapid response of utility services in this case.
The President's Aide instructed to develop measures to eliminate the unpleasant odor from the basement and apartments.
The second resident, a mother of many children, raised the issue of the possibility of using maternity capital to purchase a house.
– I am raising six children alone, and I would like to buy a small house so that they can spend time in nature and get hardened, as the children often get sick, – she said.
A representative of the regional executive committee's commission on labor, employment, and social protection explained that the maternity capital had already been partially used, but there remains an opportunity for early use of the remaining amount. However, for this to be possible, the applicant must be registered as needing to improve housing conditions. In this specific situation, the woman already owns two apartments in Vitebsk, in the Bilevo microdistrict and on Titov Street.
