Chelyabinsk residents demand action after slippery stairs injure children and adults

Residents in Chelyabinsk have raised concerns over unsafe conditions at their apartment block. The entrance stairs at 15 Kalinin Street have remained dangerously slippery for months, leading to injuries. Locals claim their property management company has ignored repeated requests for repairs.

The latest incident involved a 7-year-old girl who fell while walking down the stairs with her mother. She struck her back hard in the tumble. Earlier, the girl's father also slipped on the same steps, injuring his leg as he left the building.

Residents say the stairs have been hazardous for a long time. Despite multiple complaints, the newly appointed management company has taken no action. Many believe the firm is failing in its responsibility to maintain the property safely. Another resident, a man, was injured after slipping on the same staircase. The repeated accidents have left locals frustrated and worried about further harm.

The incidents highlight ongoing safety risks at the Chelyabinsk apartment block. With no repairs carried out, residents continue to face hazards when entering or exiting the building. The management company has yet to respond to the complaints or take visible steps to resolve the issue.
