Taking into account the specifics of permafrost and soil conditions, it is important to pay attention to the role of the initial temperature regime. Its change, caused by a combination of various factors, can affect the further operation of the facility. The author presents the results of a survey, annual observation of the vertical movements' development and thermophysical ones of a public building on permafrost soils. Geotechnical equipment location diagrams, final graphs of vertical displacements and temperature measurements are given. The reasons for increasing irreversible deformities causing the accident risk of the investigated object were determined. An opinion on the need of creating a unified geotechnical monitoring database, which would allow responding to changing operating conditions of buildings and structures on permafrost soils quickly in order to implement appropriate forecast solutions and avoid emergencies was expressed
