3 thousand janitors and 166 units of special equipment will provide order in winter in the yards of Kazan

(KZN.RU, November 20, Alsu Safina). Winter maintenance of the yard territories of Kazan will be provided by almost 3 thousand janitors in 55 contract organizations and 166 units of special equipment and small-scale mechanization, which housing organizations have, said Iskander Giniyatullin, the deputy head of the Executive Committee and the chairman of the Housing and Communal Services Committee, today on the Business Monday.

He noted that due to the improvement program implemented in Kazan, 47% of the yard territories were put in order. Parking lots are created in the renovated yards, which makes it easier to clean the driveways and sidewalks. “But still, the problem of yards full of left cars remains”, he noted.

The duties of janitors in winter include clearing of yard driveways, areas in front of the entrances and pedestrian paths. “The necessary amount of inventory and sand-salt mixture and reagents are available”, noted I. Giniyatullin. He urged the management of Housing and Communal Services to pay attention to creating conditions for workers, introducing new schemes of labor remuneration, increasing the attractiveness of the profession due to the seasonal turnover of janitors.

The chairman of the Committee for Housing and Communal Services also said that at present, 166 units of special equipment and small-scale mechanization are available for housing organizations. For a year, the fleet of cleaning machinery has grown by 11 units. The largest number of special equipment will serve the territory of Novo-Savinovsky and Sovetsky districts.

According to the current regulations, the house territory should be cleared of snow within six hours after its fall. Snow during manual cleaning of sidewalks and driveways should be cleaned completely.

In case of poor cleaning, residents can apply to the organization that runs their house. You can send the application on the website “Open Kazan” or by phone 236-4-123 or 063. If the measures are not taken, you must inform the public law departments of the district’s administrations or the Administration of the city's administrative and technical inspection. Employees of districts’ administrations and the Committee for Housing and Communal Services will organize regular detours of surrounding areas to check the quality of the cleaning. Appropriate response measures will be taken against violators of the rules of improvement.
