The court ordered the demolition of the unauthorized construction near two cultural heritage sites in Sormovo.

      On July 2, 2026, at 17:00, the Sormovsky District Court ordered the owner to demolish an unfinished building in the Sormovsky district. This was reported by the court's press service. The city administration filed the lawsuit. The building was being constructed on a site located within the protective zones of federal cultural heritage sites - "Residential House (wood), 1860s" (Svobody Street, 127) and "Residential House (wood), 1877" (Svobody Street, 129). The court found that the construction was carried out without the mandatory permit and in violation of urban planning and construction regulations. In particular, the maximum allowable percentage of site development was exceeded, and there were violations of fire safety requirements. According to the court's conclusions, the object poses a threat to the life and health of citizens. The violations were deemed irreparable. As a result, the court ordered the owner to demolish the object within three months. The decision has not yet entered into legal force. It was previously reported that by court order, the owner must also demolish a three-story unauthorized construction on Komintern Street in Sormovo.
