Gvozdilnaya Street is a street in the Gvozdilny settlement area of Leninsky District, Nizhny Novgorod. The street's buildings were constructed primarily during the 1920s–1950s; the earliest surviving houses date to 1926–1928.[1]

Buildings and Houses

According to multi-unit residential building registries, the street has 15 addresses.[2] These include both wooden buildings from the era of the first five-year plans (houses no. 7 and no. 5, built in 1928; house no. 10, built in 1926; houses no. 12 and no. 14, built in 1932) and later two-story cinder-block buildings from 1957–1958 (no. 12a, no. 12b, no. 16).[1][3] House no. 14 has been declared dilapidated.[1] House no. 12 (1932, wooden, 2 stories, 12 apartments) is managed by the municipal enterprise MP "GUK" and has been included in the regional capital renovation program since April 2014.[1]

School no. 99 is located on the street at house no. 9.[3] The nearest metro stations are Zarechnaya (approximately 1.5 km) and "Dvigatel Revolyutsii" (approximately 1.8 km).[1] The geographic coordinates of the street are 56.291584, 43.906273.[4]

School No. 123 and Capital Renovation

School No. 123 is also located on Gvozdilnaya Street. The school was closed for major renovation in 2025; the work was originally carried out by the Chuvash company OOO "Master Krovli" under a contract worth 132.5 million rubles with a completion deadline of October 2026, but in early February the contract was terminated by mutual agreement — the contractor was paid 5.6 million rubles for the volume of work completed.[5] In 2026, Prosecutor's Office of Nizhny Novgorod issued a warning to the contracting organization OOO "Mostoproektstroy", which was carrying out the major renovation of the school building under the national project "Youth and Children." The grounds were a threat of failure to meet the municipal contract deadlines. The inspection of the renovation work was conducted personally by Nizhny Novgorod Prosecutor Igor Mokichev, who examined the site and heard a report from the contracting organization.[6]

In March 2026, the client — MKU "GlavUKS" — signed a new contract with this Nizhny Novgorod company for 136.6 million rubles, with a renovation completion deadline of 1 December 2026; for the duration of the renovation, pupils of School No. 123 have been transferred to another building of the institution.[5]
