MOSCOW, July 14 (RIA Novosti) - An investigation has been launched in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg after construction workers tried to demolish a residential building without notifying its residents, prosecutors said Friday.
"The residents of building 126-a on Stepan Razin Street in Yekaterinburg filed a complaint that construction company workers... started demolishing their block without preliminary notification," a representative of the Prosecutor General's Office said Friday.
Some apartments were destroyed completely and others now face the danger of being destroyed.
The prosecutor's office said that the construction company, which had received permission to develop the area in 2004, should have evicted the dwellers first.
