Tightened control of management companies in apartment buildings (Russian newspaper-edition 764)

Previously, there were rules that allowed to withdraw the house from the management of an unconscientious management company in court, which took a lot of time. "In the case of really serious offenses of the management company, responsibility should come without delay," - said the Minister of construction and housing and communal services of Russia Mikhail Men.

The law allows you to withdraw the house from the management company by decision of the housing inspection. Moreover, the company may lose some of the houses, with regard to which it has committed gross violations, or all in its office housing.

Flagrant would be considered a violation that caused danger to life and health of the occupants of the house, as well as intentional abuse; for example, today the common violation - refusal to provide the technical documentation on the building when passing it to the management of the new organization.

In addition, in 2018 in the past will go away and management companies-counterparts. These are already open organizations, the name of which is quite a bit different from what has a working management company. If it accumulates debts or there is another trouble - the company-counterpart comes to replace it. Moreover, it immediately appears in the payments of residents, without the procedures of changing the management company, and because of the similar name, many do not even notice the substitution.

Now, if the license of the management company for six months there is not a single house under management, the housing Inspectorate will have the right to apply to the court, which will consider the cancellation of such a license. Moreover, to lose the right to manage the homes can quite a lot of organizations. According to the results of monitoring of the project "Manager", in Russia almost 10 percent of all management companies do not have homes on the balance sheet.

In addition, the law limits the term of the license for management of an apartment house to five years. "Previously, the license of the management company was indefinite, and the facts of their revoke were isolated, "Svetlana Razvorotneva, Executive Director of VA“National center of public control in the housing and utilities sector«Utilities sector control», told Russian newspaper. Now in the housing sector can begin purging the market from organizations that do not do their job or have large debts.

What is more, people have more opportunities to influence urban development plans. If earlier in their discussion required a personal presence at the town planning hearings, now those who wish can send their opinion in writing or via the Internet. In addition, leave the feedback in the book of visitors of the exhibition of the project.

The current procedure provided for a lot of complaints from the participants of public hearings, for example, meetings were held at an inconvenient time, the number of attendees was limited by the size of the hall.

In 2018, the term "economy class" housing will disappear. It will be replaced by "standard housing". The change of the term corresponds to the trends in the real estate market. In the budget category today real estate with good yards, infrastructure. Such housing can hardly be called the word "economy".
