Who pays for the maintenance of an apartment building. How is the current repair of residential buildings carried out? Preparation of all technical devices and equipment in the house for seasonal operation

Also, a housing cooperative can act as a customer for the work (Article 740 of the Civil Code).

If there is no repair

The dishonesty of the repairmen and the topic of offended tenants has long become a "talk of the town." To deal with the troubles and solve the problem with the repair, residents need to take the following actions:

• Contact the management company directly - its representative is obliged to draw up an appropriate act, on the basis of which the work must be carried out (or the shortcomings must be eliminated).
• In case of failure to complete the repairs, residents first file a complaint with the company itself, and then with the municipality (housing and communal services department of the city administration). The highest instance for the appeal is the Main Directorate of the Housing Inspection.
• Residents can demand the elimination of all malfunctions or complex repairs in accordance with an agreement with the management company, and in case of refusal to go to court.
• Also, residents have the right to unilaterally change the management company that has not coped with its responsibilities.

The decision is made at the general meeting of owners at the end of the current year (Art. 162 LC). All documents must be transferred to the new management company or to one of the owners (if direct management is chosen).

The repair of the common property of an apartment building is understood as a repair carried out in a planned manner in order to restore the serviceability or operability of a residential building, to partially restore its resource with the replacement or restoration of its constituent parts of a limited range established by regulatory and technical documentation.

Reading time: 6 minutes

All elements of a residential building wear out during operation. For this reason, sometimes it becomes necessary to carry out a major overhaul - a complete replacement of faulty equipment and structures. Work on the restoration of an acceptable condition for the premises is included in the current repair of an apartment building.

Renovation of an apartment building

Repair of an apartment building is a complex of construction and other technical measures, the purpose of which is to eliminate identified malfunctions or restore the operability of elements, equipment and engineering systems of a dwelling.

After carrying out the renovation measures, the apartment building must comply with housing norms and standards, and be suitable for living.

Repair can be both major and current. Each of them has a separate budget, their own spending procedure and work schedule.

The concept of maintenance and its differences from major

Routine repair is a set of measures for the maintenance of the housing stock, taken by responsible organizations in order to maintain a satisfactory condition of the apartment building, eliminate malfunctions that impede the safety and comfort of residents.

Work within the framework of the current repair is carried out at the expense of the tenants. To do this, a special line of expenses is included in the receipt for payment of utilities.

The frequency of repair work depends on the condition of the housing, the degree of wear and tear and the type of residential building: whether it is a brick house or a panel house, and so on.

Extraordinary restoration work can be carried out after an inspection of the premises.

It is not difficult to understand what the current repair of common property in an apartment building is, given the range of issues that are solved with its help. So, current work is carried out in relation to:

• walls and roofs;
• pipes for hot and cold water supply outside the apartments;
• gas and electrical equipment;
• elevator;
• basement.

The difference between current and major repairs is that in the first case, the work is aimed at supporting measures, for example, at eliminating roof leaks in several places, and in the second, at replacing and restoring load-bearing, enclosing and communication structures (complete replacement of the roof).

Major repairs include large-scale events:

• roof change;
• complete replacement of hot and cold water risers;
• replacement of windows;
• facing the facade of the building and others.

In addition, current repairs differ from capital repairs in the frequency of carrying out. The first is carried out when a problem is detected, while the second is carried out strictly on schedule and financed from a separate fund.

The legislative framework

The legal regulation of measures for the implementation of current repairs begins with the norms of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter - the Housing Code of the Russian Federation). So, in accordance with Art. 153 of the RF LC, individuals and legal entities must timely pay for current repair work. This obligation arises from the moment of registration of title to the premises.

According to the provisions of Art. 155 LCD of the Russian Federation, payment for current repairs, as well as for the maintenance of housing, must be paid monthly by the 10th.

The payment schedule may be established as part of the contractual relationship with the service organization.

The contract also stipulates the work related to the current repair. Their recommended list is indicated in the Rules and Norms for the Technical Operation of the Housing Stock, approved by the Resolution of the State Construction Committee of September 27, 2003 No. 170.

Some issues are also reflected in the Government Decree of 13.08.2006 No. 491. For example, it fixes the features of the inspection of premises for troubleshooting.

Who is responsible for organizing work

The organization servicing the house is responsible for the current repairs:

• housing construction cooperative (HSC).

For example, a house contract with the Criminal Code should contain separate provisions that govern:

• the frequency of inspections of the premises, as well as the recording of their results;
• the frequency of activities for the repair of common property;
• list of works;
• requirements for the timing of the repair, as well as for the organizations performing them.

Repair work is carried out by employees of contracting organizations that have entered into an agreement with the company that serves the MKD.

The contractor can be selected according to the results of the announced, or the housing cooperative competition. The service company must monitor the progress of the work, and then accept their result.

Who makes the decision to carry out current repairs

In accordance with paragraphs. 4.1 clause 2 of Art. 44 of the RF LCD, the decision to carry out current repairs is made at the general meeting of the owners of the premises. To do this, you need to get the majority of votes from the total number of participants.

The authority to assign maintenance repairs can also be delegated to the house council. The decision on this is recognized as adopted if at least 2/3 of the votes of the total number of owners of premises agree with it. This option simplifies the organization of work, because it is much easier and faster to collect a council than to achieve the presence of all residents.

In addition, at the meeting, tenants must agree on the following:

• list of services and works;
• conditions for their implementation;
• tariffs.

Works included in current repair

You can learn about what is included by law in the current repair of an apartment building in 2019 from the Rules and Regulations for the Technical Operation of the Housing Stock (Appendix No. 7). They provide for a wide range of restoration works:

• foundation: elimination of minor deformations and damaged areas;
• facades and walls: closing of joints, embedding of architectural elements, painting;
• floors: painting and sealing of seams and cracks;
• roofs: renovation of waterproofing, replacement of gutters;
• door and window filling: restoration or replacement of elements, for example, those that are in the entryways. The act of checking the premises or in the work plan under the contract may separately stipulate what is included in the current repair of the entrance;
• stairs, balconies, driveway;
• interroom partitions;
• floors: repair of individual areas;
• finishing of common areas;
• central heating, water supply and sewerage;
• electrical devices;
• ventilation: replacement or restoration;
• garbage chute;
• sidewalks, paths, driveways, recreation areas.

Consideration of the list of works allows you to get an idea of ​​what includes the current repair of common property.

Note that this type of restoration measures does not apply to living quarters. All work that is carried out in the apartment and relate to the personal property of the owner is organized and paid for by him personally. Exceptions are, for example, hot and cold water risers, which belong to the common property, although they are located inside the dwelling.

Approximate list of additional work

The list of repair works can be supplemented with measures that go beyond the framework recommended by the legislator. Solving a number of problems requires a quick response, so it is not always acceptable to wait, for example, for a major overhaul of a house to eliminate them. In these cases, the list of ongoing jobs expands.

In exceptional circumstances, certain restorative measures in individual apartments can also be included in the current repairs.

This applies only to cases where the damage to the property of the owner was caused by the actions or inaction of the managing organization.

For example, she ignored the need to restore the roof, so she untimely ordered the repair of the roof, and the violation of its tightness led to damage to the interior decoration in the apartment on the upper floor.

It is important to note: what kind of work is additional can be negotiated by the residents of the house, and their sequence is determined based on the results of inspections of the premises and identification of current needs.

Frequency and timing

When planning current repairs, you should focus on the damage that occurs in the house, so it can be situational. However, as a rule, such repair activities follow a certain sequence and are not spontaneous.

The frequency of work is determined on the basis of full and partial inspections of premises and equipment, which correspond to the previously drawn up schedule.

General inspections take place twice a year: in spring and autumn, but before the start of the heating season.

If, during the inspection, violations of the technical condition of the house and the adjacent territory are revealed, they should be recorded in the inspection report. After drawing up this document, the service organization selects a contractor.

The timing of current repairs in an apartment building depends on the following factors:

• the complexity of the activities;
• scale of restoration work;
• speed of work of contractors.

Who pays for the repair

The budget for current repairs is formed from the funds that homeowners contribute on a monthly basis. Depending on the house, the rate may differ. It is determined taking into account the needs of the residents and the condition of the premises, therefore it is usually set at a general meeting.

If the tenants and the management company fail to agree, payment is made at the standard rate of the municipality, approved by the local authorities.

It is important to note that the financial participation in the costs of each apartment will be different. This is due to the fact that the amount of the monthly payment depends on the area of ​​the dwelling. At the same time, the number of people living in the apartment does not matter.

Thus, expenses are charged according to the following formula:

Tariff for 1 m2 x apartment area.

The expenditure of funds from the repair fund occurs:

• on the basis of an agreement with a contractor;
• according to the assessment of the restoration work;
• according to the compiled estimate, which includes the purchase of materials, the performance of work and the payment of taxes.

The process ends with the signing of the acceptance certificate, which confirms that the payment for the current repair of the apartment building was made reasonably.

Where to complain about the poor quality of repairs or inaction of the Criminal Code

If the repair fund is regularly replenished, an agreement has been signed with the service organization, but no troubleshooting is carried out, tenants have the right to demand in writing that the service organization recalculate contributions.

In case of her unjustified refusal, you can apply for a judicial decision on the issue.

When the inaction of the managing organization leads to damage to common property, compensation for the damage can be claimed.

If the repair took place, but its quality did not satisfy the tenants of the MKD, it is necessary to study the clauses of the work contract concluded with a third-party company. The document must establish a warranty period for the work performed and the conditions for correcting defects.

Any building falls into disrepair over time. Communications fail, the wall decoration decays, the roof begins to let moisture through. To keep the house from losing its original characteristics, it must be regularly maintained and repaired.

Home maintenance and repair: what is it and when is it done

Therefore, the current repair of the house can be generally described as carrying out work to restore the original characteristics of the building elements, prevent malfunctions, restore the initial resource of the entire structure and its individual parts.

To find out in detail what is included in the maintenance of a dwelling, you should familiarize yourself with Government Decree No. 491 of August 13, 2006. The document spells out the basic rules for determining the property that belongs to the common property of the residents of the house, and the requirements for its maintenance.

In accordance with this act, the maintenance and current repair includes:

• cleaning of stairs, lobbies, attics and basements, garbage chutes, garbage chambers and other auxiliary premises;
• central heating system maintenance - flushing, preservation for the summer;
• removal of solid waste, disposal of liquid waste;
• ensuring fire safety;
• maintaining the efficiency of the power supply system;
• maintenance of elements of landscaping and land improvement;
• energy saving and energy efficiency measures at home;
• maintenance of sewerage, water supply systems;
• inspection and repair of the roof of the building;
• other operations.

As you can see, state control is exercised over the condition of apartment buildings.

The owners cannot, at will, exclude any services from the established list. Doing so may result in the building not meeting normal safety requirements.

Clause 18 of Resolution No. 491 indicates that the repair of common property in an apartment building is carried out by decision of the owners. However, it is not always possible to hold general meetings in order to approve the implementation of certain works.

Therefore, all operations are divided into several categories:

1. Planned. Conducted according to a pre-established schedule. For example, preparing communications for the heating season.
2. Unscheduled. For example, a regular survey revealed cracks in the facade of a house. To eliminate them, it is necessary to develop an action plan and approve a budget.
3. Emergency. The implementation of which cannot wait until the general meeting is called. The category of urgent repairs usually includes the elimination of the consequences of a breakthrough of water supply pipes.

All issues of current repairs are resolved by the HOA, the general meeting or when concluding an agreement with the management company.

What refers to the current repair of an apartment building, which is included in the list of works

1. Foundation maintenance:

• examination of reinforcement for the appearance of corrosion;
• search for uneven settlement of the structure;
• checking for cracks, swelling and other damage to the concrete structure;
• checking the condition of waterproofing materials;
• elimination of identified malfunctions.

1. Maintenance of the basements of apartment buildings:

• checking compliance with the proper level of temperature and humidity;
• preventing flooding of the basement;
• control over the condition of the premises and entrances to it to exclude littering and pollution;

1. Maintaining the walls of the house in proper condition: identifying cracks and damages and their timely elimination.
2. Water supply, sewerage, central heating service. This includes:

• pipe cleaning;
• replacement of individual parts;
• installation of new communications.

1. Replacement and repair of door frames, window frames, partitions in common areas.
2. Roof replacement and restoration, floor reinforcement.
3. Elimination of malfunctions of furnace equipment.
4. Ventilation draft recovery.
5. Replacement or restoration of individual sections of the flooring.
6. External improvement:

• repair of sidewalks and footpaths;
• landscaping;
• restoration of flower beds;
• repair of sports and playgrounds.

The specific list is established by the contractors. It depends on the age and equipment of the house, as well as on the willingness of the apartment owners to bear additional costs.

Differences from overhaul

Maintenance and overhaul of MKD are similar in nature. This is a specific list of measures aimed at maintaining the building in the form in which it was conceived during the design.

These works differ according to several criteria:

1. By frequency. Overhaul is carried out once every several decades, in accordance with operating standards. Some maintenance operations are carried out every year.
2. Tasks. Overhaul is aimed at restoring the integrity of the supporting structures, replacing obsolete communications. The purpose of the current repair is to eliminate minor malfunctions, to prevent excessive wear.
3. Budget. Residents of the house constantly deduct a certain amount for major repairs. And after the accumulation of the required amount of work can be carried out.
4. Grounds for Carrying Out. Overhaul is carried out in accordance with the established standards for each model of an apartment building. Routine repairs are done according to the results of actual observations of specialists. Overhaul is more aimed at the planned replacement of elements. So, within the framework of this event, the water supply pipes will be replaced, since their service life has expired. Even if they are in satisfactory condition.

List of works that can be included additionally

The owners of the common property, that is, the owners of the apartments, at the general meeting can agree on any additional repairs. The management company will cope with any work if the budget is approved. So, if tenants want to update the facade or restore sidewalks, then finding a contractor will not be difficult.

The list of works is updated by signing an additional agreement with the service company. In such a situation, the payment for current repairs will increase accordingly.

Types of work that are never carried out as part of ongoing repairs

The direct repair of the living space is carried out by its owner.

The list of works on current repair does not include:

1. Repair of windows, balconies, entrance doors, insulation of these elements, if they are part of the apartments.
2. Repair and replacement of meters, switchboards.
3. Installation and retrofitting of fire shields, installation of smoke detectors and fire detectors.
4. Redecoration of common areas: painting walls and whitewashing ceilings
5. Replacement or modernization of elevators.
6. Thermal insulation of external walls, redecoration of facades.
7. Replacement of parts of the building: floors, stairs, etc.

An extended list of works can be established at a general meeting of apartment owners.

Who carries out current repairs

1. The developer until the transfer of the property to the apartment owners. After the construction of the building, it can be on the balance sheet of the construction organization for a long time.
2. Homeowners' association, housing cooperative or other cooperative that was created to manage common property. At the same time, repairs can be carried out both by specially hired workers and by a contractor.
3. Management Company. Maintenance of an apartment building is most often carried out by a special organization, which has the necessary experience and staff with the appropriate qualifications.

The developer or HOA can carry out the work on their own. But usually current repairs are entrusted to a certain service organization, for example, a management company.

In some cases, the management company engages third parties. For example, if the staff does not have employees with the required qualifications. A contract is concluded for the performance of work, the contractor performs maintenance or current repairs on a reimbursable basis.

Payment for maintenance of an apartment building

Any work aimed at the current maintenance of housing is carried out at the expense of its owners.

The Housing Code of the Russian Federation in article 154 contains a list of expenses that are covered by monthly payments from owners and tenants of apartments. Among other things, it lists the expenses for the maintenance of common property and current repairs.

If the owners of the apartments have formed a HOA, then the payment for the performance of the work can be part of the regular membership fees.

Maintenance work is not performed or is poorly performed, where to go

The main problem of routine maintenance and repair of apartment buildings remains the lack of proper control over the actions of contractors.

All results of operations carried out within the framework of maintenance and current repairs are subject to delivery to the owners of the common property. Owners should assess the quality of the work performed.

If the management company violates the established procedure for carrying out current repairs, or performs poorly quality work, then you should contact it with a written claim. The representative of the homeowners should indicate their comments in the acceptance certificate. And demand free troubleshooting.

If the negotiation method does not help, then you should contact the municipal housing inspectorate with a complaint. If violations are found, representatives of the state will bring the management company to justice and issue an order to eliminate the deficiencies in the repair.

To get a good result of maintenance and current repairs at home, you should familiarize yourself with the documentation issued by the management company. For example, a work plan and an estimate. It is best to create an HOA and choose a person whose job will be to control the ongoing repairs.

The current repair of common property in an apartment building includes a whole range of works aimed at maintaining the operability of a residential building, replacing equipment, and restoring its serviceability if necessary.

The managing organization with which the contract is signed is responsible for each of these services. To carry out repair work, all owners of MKD contribute a certain amount of money, which is indicated in receipts to pay for housing and communal services.

Dear Readers! Our articles tell about typical ways of solving legal issues. If you want to know how to solve exactly your problem - call by phones free consultation:

What is the common property of an apartment building?

The peculiarity of an apartment building is that, in addition to the premises owned by residents, there are common property, which all owners enjoy on equal terms.

In parts 3, 4 and 5 of this document, rules and regulations for the maintenance and repair of premises, including apartment buildings, are given. For example, according to the requirements, during depressurization interpanel seams, The Criminal Code is obliged to carry out current repairs. This type of work belongs to the category of facade repair.

Repair of entrances should occur at least 1 time in 3 years or 5 years, depending on the degree of deterioration and classification of the building.

What services can be included additionally?

The basic list of common house property subject to current repair can be supplemented at the request of residents.

The desire of the latter should be based on real problem, which interferes with the normal life of the owners.

Do not wait for major repairs to be carried out in the house if there are major problems. It is absolutely necessary about them inform the management company at a meeting of tenants or in, without waiting for the meeting.

If the authorized persons of the Criminal Code confirm the presence of a malfunction, the list will be supplemented new paragraph... However, in this case, the funds for correcting the problem will not be taken from the funds for maintenance and repairs, but from the budget of funds collected for major repairs.

Residents also have the right to include their own premises (in an apartment) in current repairs, if damage was caused to the premises through the fault of the Criminal Code.

For example, the UK did not clear the roof of snow, and the melted snow ruined the ceiling and walls in the apartment located on the top floor. In this situation, the Criminal Code must carry out repair work in the owner's premises.

What will never be held?

If the apartments were not damaged through the fault of the management company, their owners not entitled to demand repair of these premises.

Maintenance repairs can only be carried out in relation to common premises.

The same goes for engineering communications... If their service life has long expired, but they continue to work at the proper level, they will not be replaced as part of the current repair. To replace them, you need to wait for the overhaul of the apartment building.

Regular payment for housing and communal services is not enough to maintain common property in an apartment building in proper condition.

Often they do not fulfill their duties on time, so residents must take the initiative in terms of carrying out current repairs.

If a malfunction is detected, premises requiring urgent repair should be immediately notify the Criminal Code... If the overhaul is carried out within the deadlines strictly defined by law, then current repairs can be carried out at any time in the presence of serious problems.
