      By court decision, bailiffs of the Kanavinsky District of Nizhny Novgorod closed one of the hotels for 30 days due to fire safety violations, the agency’s press service said.

      An unscheduled inspection by the Ministry of Emergency Situations (EMERCOM) revealed serious problems: lack of fire resistance in the flights and landings of the evacuation staircase, storage of flammable materials under the staircase, use of fire-hazardous floor coverings in guest rooms, and other violations. Hotel management was ordered to remedy the identified deficiencies, but a follow-up inspection showed that this had not been done.

      Considering the threat to people’s lives and health, the court found the hotel guilty of an administrative offense and imposed a penalty in the form of suspension of operations for 30 days.

      The bailiffs, having received the enforcement document, arrived on site, evacuated all visitors and staff, sealed all entrances, and warned hotel management of possible consequences if it resumes operations without permission.

      Now the bailiffs will regularly check how the hotel complies with the court’s requirements.
