"The roof repair project is ready; it has passed expert review. Funds are currently being sought to carry out the work," the mayor's office press service told EAN.
Roof repairs were planned for autumn 2025. But it's already the end of November, and the process still hasn't begun.
The city administration clarified that once funds are found, a tender will be announced to select a contractor who will repair the roof. According to EAN, talks about repairing the roof in "Gorodok Chekistov" have been ongoing since last year.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Culture disclosed on what terms it was prepared to transfer a lavish estate to the Yekaterinburg mayor's office.
