The language department requires replacing bilingual signs on residential buildings in Narva

Last week, the Language Department sent an official letter addressed to the mayor of Narva Katri Raik, in which he indicated that some tablets on Narva residential buildings do not meet the requirements of the Law on Language.

Photos of bilingual plates were also attached to the letter, apparently obtained using the Google Street service. The comments relate to multi -apartment and private residential buildings at the addresses of Paju, 2, Pilve, 5, 7, 11, Puškini, 40, Rakvere, 73, Pikse, 3, 5, 15, 17, Päikez, 8, 11.

The Department of Architecture and Urban Planning of the Narva Cityproof confirmed the receipt of a request from the language department. “In this regard, the city authorities will send notifications to the owners of buildings, which reported the need to bring the pointers into line with the Law on the language,” the city administration said in the answer.

The response emphasizes that bringing the indicators to the proper form is the obligation of the owner of the buildings.

Bringing indicators to the proper form is the duty of the owner of the buildings.

Now the owners of the buildings will have to independently eliminate the violations by replacing or correcting the pointers. The city authorities, for their part, are limited to information support, directing relevant notifications.

It remains to wait for the owners of the buildings to react to notifications and how quickly violations will be eliminated. The language inspection will continue to control the process in order to ensure the full compliance of the indicators with legislative requirements.

According to the request of the language department, Narva should report on the measures taken no later than April 15, 2025.

In the source letter, a wish was also expressed that the city independently check all the address signs in the city.

“Narva Gazeta” contacted the chairman of the apartment partnership Puškini, 40 Alexander Berezhenov. According to him, the tablet will be replaced in the near future. “I have already contacted an advertising company that is engaged in the manufacture of signs, it will cost about 40 euros,” he said.
