Deputy Zaksa Oksana Dmitrieva asked to check tens of bars in the center of St. Petersburg, including Nekrasov, Rubinstein and Duma. Entrepreneurs are indignant by the initiative, which appeared immediately after removal of restrictions due to coronavirus.
The institutions are preparing for the audits of Rospotrebnadzor, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and other departments - and fear that it can suffer from the number of law-abiding business. The Chairman of the "Growth Party" Boris Titov spoke in support of entrepreneurs, restaurants supported some civil activists.
"Paper" talked with the author of the initiative by Oksana Dmitriev, the owners of bars and local residents - and tells that it is known about the next conflict.
The deputy Oksana Dmitrieva demanded to check tens of bars in the center of St. Petersburg. This can lead to the suspension of their activities.The deputy of the Legislative Assembly from the "Party of Growth" Oksana Dmitriev in mid-December demanded to check tens of bars and restaurants in the center of St. Petersburg. The appropriate statement was sent to Rospotrebnadzor, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Prosecutor's Office, as well as the Vice-Governor Evgenia Elino. About this, Dmitrieva, told "Paper".
The document concerns more than 40 addresses, which complained from local residents, clarified Dmitriev. She refused to announce a full list of institutions, but said they were in the Admiralty and central regions (including Rubinstein and Duma Street). "I think if the Civil Activist Groups were created in Vasileostrovsky and Petrogradsky districts, there would be similar complaints," says the deputy.
According to the interviewed by the "paper" restauchors, to which officials have already come, in the list more than 100 institutions. Judging by the copy of the statement, among them the Bay bars, "Chronicles", Redrum, Bazin, "Fear and Hate", "451 Fahrenheit" on Nekrasov Street, "Bear-Bar", F40, "Rubai" and "Hussara" on Embankment Fontanka, as well as the "Blue Pushkin" on Zhukovsky and the Warp Club on the foundry.
Dmitrieva became known about the statement in early February: after one of the bars came with a check. "We were visited by an employee of the Office of Compliance with the Legislation on Administrative Offenses. He showed us a complaint with Dmitriev's deputy and said that now we are waiting for a comprehensive check. Officially, no one has notified anything about any complaints or inspections, "Anna Khmelnitskaya explained to the Village of the co-owner of the Bay bar.
By the beginning of February, most restaurateurs are aware of Dmitrieva's request: mostly from social networks and the media. Bar owners surveyed by "paper" say that some of the inspections notified the Committee on the issues of legality, law enforcement and safety.
According to a published copy of the document, the applicants are asked to "conduct inspections and suspend the activities of the institutions." At the same time, Dmitrieva argues that the request concerns only conducting inspections on the basis of citizens' complaints. The decision to suspend activities can take only the relevant authorities after issuing the prescriptions, and it is possible to close the institutions only through the court. Control bodies should decide whether there are grounds for temporary suspension of activities.
"Paper" interviewed eight owners of the institutions listed on Oksana Dmitriev, but they all said that there were no checks yet. At the same time, restaurateurs are concerned about the situation. "Sidim, you shake, we are waiting that they are still thrown out," one of the entrepreneurs explained anonymously.
The cowlastman of the "Chronicles" bar on Nekrasov Peter Birger said "Paper" that such an initiative could worsen the position of entrepreneurs in St. Petersburg. According to him, unscheduled inspections and the "categorical requirement of suspending activities" completely contradict the statements about the support of small businesses.

- St. Petersburg restaurant and bar businesses and so experienced a complex quarantine year, regular deputy initiatives on additional regulation and the requirements of large-scale inspections look like an attempt to finally strangle the industry important for the tourist metropolis. Moreover, it was surprising that the representative of the "Growth Party" spoke with such an initiative, which calls himself the "voice" of the business and stands up with the slogan "work! Freedom! " Dmitriev's initiative for St. Petersburg completely contradicts both the first and second.
Egor Kuzin - BRIMBORIUM Bar co-owner on Mayakovskaya (in the public part there is no His list) - also criticized the initiative Dmitriev in a conversation with "Paper". In his opinion, prosecutor's checks will not solve the problem of residents.

- How could it be solved by the existing problem of peace of the citizens? For example, the city could find resources for several additional police patrols in the city's bar. Bars are exhibited by some tritons, as if many of them are pleased with a noisy inadequate public, but it is not so! We will only be glad if somewhere near us will doubt the police crew. Most of the noisy companies that could cause dissatisfaction with our neighbors, just also causes our discontent.
Restaurates say that law-abiding institutions may also suffer. And the entrepreneur who is called the curated of illegal trade is not going to pay finesSome restaurants are confident that they hit the list by mistake, because they have no problems with their neighbors. In this case, even such institutions are theoretically threaten the problems, explains the "Paper" of the co-owner of the Bay bar of Anna Khmelnitsky.

- Imagine that you are threatened during the month with all possible checks that only have. The point is not that we are afraid of something. But these checks can pass accordingly: someone will go, when the employee changes gloves, "there will be a violation of coronavirus norms, someone will notice an unsophisticated document. According to [the leading "editorial office"] Alexey brewers, everyone understands everything.
Entrepreneur, the creator of the "Resistance Maps", Alexander Konovalov, who is called the curator of illegal trade in St. Petersburg, confirmed "paper" that in several places there were inspections due to the complaint of Dmitriev. At the same time, he says he is not going to pay fines.

- We have every day check, they write to us something. But we do not care: we are staring over them. I will not pay fines. We work, so far physically possible. Dmitriev, apparently, went after Elia and Belflov, who wanted our magic institutions to close. It seemed that she was normal, but also on a slippery track. So, she will not succeed: please please, let him try.
In total, according to Konovalov, he oversees about 200 catering establishments in St. Petersburg.
The official reason for the request is the appeal of local residents. According to Dmitrieva, some institutions complain about several years due to noise, illegal redevelopments and other violationsThe deputy Oksana Dmitrieva said that he had sent a request because of the complaints of local residents who came to her in October-December 2020. According to her, the request appear complaints summarized by civil activists. Some addresses have complains for several years, Dmitrieva notes.
According to the deputy, under the complaint to the Bars of the Duma Street, residents left more than 200 signatures.

- Addresses are well known. These are not only bars, but also restaurants, and cafes, and food stores that violate sanitary and epidemiological norms and restrictions on the sale of alcohol. There is a bouquet of violations: people complain on mice and rats, non-compliance with public order, noise at night, unauthorized redevelopment, which lead to security violation (overlaps can collapse, such cases were already), non-compliance with fire safety, to embed ventilation into the general In old houses - in the oven).
Dmitrieva explains the refusal to disclose the list of addresses to the possible pressure of owners of institutions for residents, as well as the probability of damage to business reputation in the event that the facts of violations are not confirmed. The deputy promises to publish a list of establishments, where they revealed violations, as well as those where violations were not confirmed.
According to Dmitriev, on the problems of Petersburgers because of the neighborhoods with bars did not pay due attention for a long time.

- When it says about the attractiveness of St. Petersburg, we have that, bars and restaurants that work exclusively after 23:00 is the main factor of tourist attractiveness? And maybe it is the famous Petersburg Aura, the Spirit and the style of St. Petersburg? It seemed to me that the basis of the tourist attractiveness of St. Petersburg is an architectural and artistic heritage. If the functioning of some bars and restaurants creates unbearable living conditions for indigenous people, squeezing them out of the city center, is it adding attractiveness to St. Petersburg? Bars and restaurants are certainly needed and residents, and tourists, but not to the detriment of the implementation of the residential function and in addition to the preserved architectural heritage, and not instead of them. Residents, struggling for their legitimate interests and rights, including ensuring customer security.
The activist of the foundry of Vadim Sukhodolsky, who participated in the preparation of the deputy conversion, said Fontanka, that some residents really do not always understand which bars prevent their lives. "Complaints from people go to the address principle: bars on ul. Nekrasova at home 22, 24 and 26, for example. And already the task of inspecting to find out which one is breaking something, and which one does not violate anything, "he believes.
Part of the activists supported the initiative of Dmitriev. But some city editormen opposedAdministrator of the "Street Rubinstein Street and Vladimir Mo, Petersburg" Olga Ustyuha in a conversation with "Paper" about the initiative of Dmitriev, expressed concerns that it was too complicated even for a deputy. At the same time, it hopes that the status of the deputy and public publicity will attract the attention of the city and law enforcement agencies to the problem of neighborhood of bars and residential apartments.

- As far as I know, the requirement of Dmitrieva is based on the complaints of citizens about concrete institutions where they are already despair to achieve their rights. This situation arose, among other things, due to the inaction of the supervisory authorities regulating this scope. Not lasting the administration of the Central District, which publicly declares the priority of tax revenues to the health and rights of citizens. Corruption has and occur when fully illegal catering points work, as it happens now on Rubinstein.
Positive feedback Aparted in the "Residents Mo Foundry" group. Activist Vadim Sukhodolsky wrote that "residents of Rubinstein streets, Nekrasov, Zhukovsky at night also want to sleep quietly in their apartments." Another user suggested close all restaurants in residential buildings.
At the same time, the administrator of the dube "Central District for a comfortable habitat" Yaroslav Kostov said that Dmitrieva simply "Hipit in the information field" and tries to put on local residents and restaurants. According to him, some establishments that are illegally working really need to be closed, but it is impossible to "row everyone under one comb." In the comments of the community "Citizens of the Vladimir district" also doubted that such a "hood" initiative could end well.

And advised them to appeal to the business ombudsmanChairman of the "Growth Party" Boris Titov published a statement in "Vkontakte" in support of businessmen.

- We are confident that the decision should be found between the parties without the participation of the control bodies, but with the full compliance with the legitimate requirements for theacy. We believe that today, the pandemic is raging, mass solid checks are not allowed. But if the check is carried out, remember - the Institute of Commissioner for the Protection of Entrepreneurs' Rights is entitled to ensure the legality to participate in it.
Restaurants interviewed by "paper" hope that after this statement, the scheduled checks can cancel.
