Residents of a building in Stavropol complained to the governor about flooding in their apartments.

During a major renovation, the contractor removed the roof covering over all the entrances at once, without taking into account either the season or weather conditions. When snow and rain fell, water gushed into the apartments, residents reported in a statement.

Residents of the building at 4 Dovatortsev Street in Stavropol recorded a video message to Governor Vladimir Vladimirov, in which they explained that their problems began when the roof covering was removed. Precipitation flowed freely into the apartments, running down the walls, and flooding the ceilings and floors. The upper floors—the fourth, fifth, and sixth—were particularly badly damaged, according to the publication "Bloknot Stavropol."

During the major roof renovation, seasonal conditions and weather conditions were not taken into account. The roof covering over the entrances of the entire building was removed. The water reached not only the apartments, but also the entrances, hallways, and utility systems. People are seriously afraid that the next consequences will be power outages.

"There is a risk of short-circuiting and flooding of electrical panels," the residents complained in their appeal.

According to the residents, the contractor stated that it is impossible to continue work in such weather conditions and that repairs will not resume until spring. Meanwhile, the damaged roof remains, and the building remains vulnerable to precipitation.

According to residents, a total of 17 apartments were damaged. Among them are families with mortgages and pensioners. People are unsure who will be responsible for the ruined repairs and damaged property.

"Who will be able to compensate for the damage to our apartments? We can't cope without you. We are asking for your help in dealing with this situation," Stavropol residents appealed to regional authorities.

Residents say they have photo and video evidence of the incident. They are asking for real assistance and oversight, fearing that each subsequent rain could lead to further destruction.

"And also, Vladimir Vladimirovich, you can watch it on television; we invite you to see for yourself," the residents said.

In September, the governor of Stavropol, after numerous reports of similar problems in other buildings on Dovatortsev Street, promised to look into the situation.

"I'm currently receiving dozens of such messages from residents of two apartment buildings on Dovatortsev Street in Stavropol. I've received the information and will look into it. It's not about who lives on the upper floors and is currently struggling with water in their apartments. It's about the fact that autumn, cold weather, and rain never arrive unexpectedly. I'll personally find out why these buildings weren't prepared for the bad weather. But now we need to quickly fix the problem. I've already given such instructions," Vladimir wrote on his Telegram channel on September 30, 2025. Vladimirov.

Later that day, the governor reported that work had been completed to fix a leak in one building, and the contractor had committed to fixing the problem in the other by the end of the day.

"Roof repairs on both buildings were supposed to be completed by the end of December. We will finish them earlier. We plan to finish repairs on building 63/1 by November 1, and on building 53/3 by November 15. We will monitor the timing and quality together with the residents," the governor promised.

"Kavkazsky Knot" also reported that residents of the village of Pravokumskoye in the Soviet District of Stavropol Krai had appealed to the regional Minister of Health with a request to retain their local physician.
