Schedule for major repairs of apartment buildings

Residents of apartment buildings in Moscow pay a utility bill every month. However, in addition to the payment for the services actually used, the payment also includes payment for major repairs. And although the money is written off, no actual work is carried out on the building. Since all construction and repair work is carried out according to a specific schedule. Muscovites today can find out when a major home renovation is due online using various websites.

Definition of a major overhaul

A major overhaul involves fixing or completely replacing supply systems. The mandatory list of works is specified in Article 166 of the Housing Code of Russia. This includes restoration:

engineering systems responsible for electricity, gas, water and heat supply, as well as wastewater disposal;
elevator, including the possibility of complete replacement;
roofs;
basement;
facade;
foundation.

For Moscow high-rise buildings, this list has been supplemented in accordance with Moscow Government Decrees No. 833 and No. 390. Therefore, in the capital, the smoke removal system, garbage chute, and fire water supply system must be overhauled.

Who is exempt from paying contributions for major repairs?

The obligation of apartment owners to pay contributions for major home repairs is regulated by Federal Law No. 271 in Art. 169 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation.

However, there are cases when residents are not required to pay contributions for major repairs, and categories of persons who will be given a benefit in the form of compensation of 50% of contributions have also been defined.

Who may not pay the overhaul fee:

owners of apartments in a building that is recognized as unsafe and subject to demolition;
owners of apartments whose house is located on a site subject to seizure for state needs;
homeowners in apartment buildings whose lifespan does not exceed 5 years (if there is a corresponding regional law, they are exempt from paying contributions during the first 5 years of operation of the house);
elderly people over 80 years of age living alone or with retired relatives.

Who is entitled to benefits in the form of 50% compensation:

elderly people over 70 years of age living alone or with retired relatives;
disabled people of groups I and II;
families raising disabled children.

Thus, on the basis of Federal Law 271 on capital repairs, owners of apartments in multi-apartment buildings independently finance the major repairs of their home. In accordance with the regional program adopted by local authorities, a list of houses for major repairs is approved in each region. You can find out when the house will be overhauled, as well as control the expenditure of funds and the progress of repair work on the official website “Housing Stock Monitoring”.

Update schedule

Any construction work is paid for from replenished funds from the Capital Repair Fund, so restoration cannot be carried out in all buildings at once. In this regard, priority lists are drawn up. They indicate the approximate date of major renovation of the house at the address.

Note! Repair work is not carried out every year. They can be extended over several years. For example, in 2019 it is planned to improve the condition of risers and cold water distribution lines. And the replacement of the elevator is only scheduled for 2033.

The schedule for major repairs of apartment buildings is drawn up based on their current condition, as well as the standards for repairing and replacing equipment. New buildings are not included in the lists, although funds in its favor are collected from citizens. This is due to the fact that according to the standards, the first serious repair and construction work to improve the condition of the building is carried out after 40-50 years.

How the queue for major repairs of apartment buildings is formed

in drawing up a plan for the overhaul of apartment buildings. The need for major repairs is determined based on building codes and operational characteristics of parts of the building. The order is influenced by:

date of construction of the apartment building and the year in which major repairs were last carried out;
the amount of work required;
degree of deterioration of the building;
a sufficient amount of money collected (repair work can be carried out faster if the contribution amount is increased);
degree of activity of residents;
square area.

First of all, the regional program includes houses that required major repairs at the time of privatization of the first residential premises, provided that such work had not been carried out at the date of approval of the program.

The queue for major repairs does not include :

subject to demolition or reconstruction .
Houses with less than 3 apartments .
MKD, the physical wear of structural elements of which is more than 70% .
Buildings in which the cost of work per 1 m2 of total area exceeds the minimum contribution established in the region.

Major repairs can be carried out in one house at different times. For example, roof replacement may be scheduled for 2021, and elevator equipment replacement may be scheduled for 2023.

Lists for the coming years

The main source of knowledge for residents of high-rise buildings should be the portal of the Moscow Apartment Buildings Overhaul Fund at fond.mos.ru. On the main page of the resource, there is a side menu on the left, where you should select the “Short-term capital repair plan” item.

This section contains a list of constantly updated documents with a schedule for major renovations of houses in Moscow until 2021. The user needs to select a document at the top of the list with the specification “Current edition”. The list itself will open on a new page, divided into several parts.

All documents are opened in PDF format and are presented in a table containing:

exact address (including county and municipality);
year of construction;
square;
year the overhaul began;
list of events to be held;
where the payment is transferred from.

Reference! The list is constantly updated due to the completion of repair work. Most buildings need to fix almost all communications at once, so the overhaul program is progressing rather slowly.

Where and how can I find out at the address in what year the property is planned to be overhauled?

Checking the planned start date for major home repairs at an address can be done in several ways : by contacting the relevant authorities, or using an official Internet resource.

The management of apartment buildings is most often carried out by homeowners' associations (HOAs) or management companies (MCs). You can come to the office of the HOA or management company and ask the secretary a question about the planned timing of the overhaul. If the secretary does not have such information, contact the manager.

Program schedule until 2044

You can view the schedule for major renovations of a house at an address in Moscow not only for the coming years. A regional program for the overhaul of common property in Moscow apartment buildings until 2044 has already been developed. The information is freely available on the website repair.mos.ru.

Powers of local administration

To obtain information about major repairs, residents of apartment buildings have the right to contact the local municipality. His powers in the field of housing relations are defined in Art. 13.14 Housing Code of the Russian Federation:

establishing a procedure for informing about ways to form a capital repair fund;
notifying citizens about the content of the overhaul program and housing assessment criteria for determining priority;
approval of the procedure and list of cases of work performed at the expense of repayable or non-refundable assistance.

Request information on the Moscow Mayor's portal

A more detailed report can be obtained on the website of the Moscow Mayor - mos.ru. However, only registered users can do this. Registration in the ESIA system is suitable.

On the site you need to go sequentially through the branches:

«;
“Housing, housing and communal services, yard”;
"Apartment building and courtyard";
“Get information from the Capital Repair Fund.”

The request is free, information is provided online. The user receives information about the expected date of restoration of the building. And also about the amount of savings to pay for repair and construction work. And if the work is already being carried out or has been carried out recently, the citizen receives a report indicating the contractors.

Violation of deadlines established by the program

Residents can appeal against non-transparent criteria for selecting objects for major repairs or violation of deadlines for its completion. According to the norms of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, the regional operator is responsible for non-fulfillment / improper fulfillment of duties provided for by the regional program.

In addition, the Housing Code provides for the liability of contractors for violating the deadlines for the start of work.

If funds are accumulated in a special account, the management company will be responsible.

You can file a complaint using the State Services website. Within 15 days it will be received and reviewed by the responsible department.

Law of the Russian Federation dated 02/07/1992 No. 2300-1 “On the Protection of Consumer Rights” regulates the legal relations that arise between consumers and performers when performing work or providing services. In accordance with Art. 28 of the said normative act, in case of violation of the deadlines for the completion of work, residents have the right to demand:

reducing the price for work performed;
full compensation for losses.

The law provides for the establishment of a new deadline for the start of major repairs.

In case of repeated violation, the consumer may demand payment of a penalty in the amount of 3% of the price of uncompleted work for each day of delay.

How to speed up the restoration of a house in Moscow

It is possible to speed up the overhaul of an apartment building only if a special bank account has been opened for it. Residents can set a high fee and quickly collect money for construction work. In this case, the Fund must be notified. The building will change its place on the list of apartment buildings for major renovation.

Apartment buildings that:

suffered due to force majeure (collapse, explosion, etc.);
have current serious breakdowns.

In the second case, the residents do not claim a full restoration of the building. However, putting water supply systems in order, for example, will be carried out unscheduled and paid for through savings in a special account in a bank or in the Fund.

Thus, all homeowners save for building improvements over several decades. Everything is planned in advance for 30 years or more. But if there is a need for major repairs now, then everything is solved with the help of joint actions of the management company and residents.

Houses on the waiting list

By the way, regarding the short-term plan. It included buildings that really should be put in order first.

The lists were compiled by the people's representatives, so the reliability of the “elections” is beyond doubt. “Out of 48 houses proposed by residents, we chose 23,” explains Evgeny Babenko, head of the Arbat municipal district . “Our deputies are well acquainted with each address and have information about when the last major renovation was carried out in the building. And they know why a particular house is included in the short-term program. We actively worked with the elders in the houses, communicated with all residents and carefully considered the requests of the owners. Moreover, we, together with the residents, will monitor the implementation and timing of all work.”

It must be said that updating the housing stock in the center is not an easy task, because many buildings have celebrated their centennial anniversary and their external (and often internal) appearance cannot change radically. Among the first “old-timers” that contracting companies will take care of is the apartment building of N. M. Borschov (B. Afanasyevsky lane, 22), built in 1890 by architects I. I. Pozdeev and S. E. Ovanesyants. By the end of 2021, all work on its “reincarnation” must be completed.

Archive of profiles

Housing and communal services reform is an online resource where there is all the information about what is happening to your home, including archived data. If you want to know the history of the arrangement of a specific building, go to the corresponding section “Management History”.

In addition, you can familiarize yourself with the version of the questionnaire at the most significant stages of management, for example, when changing the management organization or closing the reporting period.

Is extraordinary work possible?

Despite the established deadlines and volumes of repair work, situations arise when it is possible to carry out major repairs earlier than the established time. This situation includes unforeseen situations that arose regarding the operation of the building (for example, breakdown of elevator equipment, impossibility of operating utility networks).

The owners of apartment buildings must hold a general meeting at which a decision is made on the need to carry out a certain type of work and its volume. It is advisable to invite the head of the organization that directly carries out maintenance and operation work to the meeting.

The protocol with the formalized decision must be sent to the regional fund.

Dates

Overhaul involves the gradual implementation of work that improves the condition of the MKD and reduces the wear parameter.

This process is a complex and lengthy procedure consisting of several stages:

Assessment of the condition of the MKD. The repair organization inspects the premises and checks existing engineering components.
A plan is drawn up and a repair budget is determined, and initial preparations for major repairs take place.
Direct measures are being taken to improve the condition of the MKD. In practice, the duration of this period ranges from a couple of weeks to several months, depending on the volume of faults.
The work is accepted. The responsible person checks the compliance of the overhaul plan and the final result.
After issuing the acceptance certificate, all reporting documentation from the regional operator is transferred to the house manager.

The period between repairs for major repairs is selected based on an analysis of the technical condition of the object . As a rule, on average it is two to three years.

How much to wait

Upon receiving an application from the owners of apartment buildings about the need for extraordinary work, the head of the fund contacts the state housing supervision body to conduct a joint inspection to confirm the applicants’ arguments.

After verification, the case is submitted to the municipal commission, which consists of competent specialists. They make the final decision on carrying out extraordinary repairs. The total duration of such a procedure can be 3-4 months.
