Abstract The article notes the presence in Russian cities housing stock of the central regions of a large number of residential apartment buildings, built over 50 years ago and in operation. The bearing capacity of the structures of these houses has significantly decreased. In connection with this carried out a survey of technical condition of houses. For buildings that are for further operation invalid state, the procedure of recognition of their emergency. Analysis of data on the technical condition of apartment buildings showed that in the cities of Kazan, Samara and Volgograd, the physical deterioration of residential buildings is 25-28%, which is less than the average value in Russia, and in Nizhny Novgorod it is significantly higher and amounts to 38%. The data allow us to conclude that in the near future in Nizhny Novgorod one should expect a large number of residential buildings to go into emergency condition. Analysis of indicators of the state of emergency residential buildings in these cities shows that the percentage of the city of Samara operated homes, referred in 2013 to the state of emergency, the largest and is 10.1%, which is significantly higher than the average value in Russia. As one of the main reasons for the incomplete resettlement of emergency houses under the program for the period 2013-2018 indicates “the unknown whereabouts of the owner.” The article concludes that it is possible to increase the efficiency of the resettlement program through operational work with the owners of residential premises of liquidated residential buildings.
