Kyiv authorities are initiating appeals on the need to improve the legislation in terms of the requirement of compulsory equipping new housing with shelters, the press service of Kyiv City State Administration said.
“Today, developers, unfortunately, bypass the existing requirements of compulsory installation of shelters in houses. The reason is in the gaps of the current legislation, which requires providing for shelters in the construction project or the possibility to use the shelter nearby. Well, the “or” should not be!
