In Veliky Novgorod, employees of the municipal 'City Economy' helped prevent a gas leak in an apartment and removed the threat to residents of an entire entrance.

During a routine inspection of municipal apartments in a building on Khimikov Street, specialists from the department for control over the operation and management of the housing stock entered one of the apartments and smelled a sharp odor of gas. They immediately opened the windows and called the emergency service. The gas workers arrived quickly and eliminated the leak, which occurred due to a malfunction in the shut-off valve.

The head of the department, Marina Nikulina, said that such cases show why regular inspections of pipes and gas appliances are necessary, regardless of whether the apartment is municipal or private.
