What is current repair? This is a set of works carried out by the service organization for the maintenance of its subordinate premises.
It is known that over time, every thing wears out, becomes obsolete. The same thing happens during the operation of buildings and structures. This process is called natural depreciation.
Residents of apartment buildings monthly deposit money into the account of the management company, thereby paying for its maintenance. In order to maintain the technical and operational characteristics of the building at a level comfortable for living, a list of necessary works has been created, where their frequency is indicated, and in accordance with it, current repair of the room should be carried out - and not only.
A full review of this issue is given in the Methodological manual for the maintenance and repair of the housing stock of 2.04.2004 (MDK 2-04.2004).
The concept of "current repair" affects all the main areas of residence of residents in a common house. This includes replacing the roof, plastering walls, repairing cracks, maintaining well-maintained common areas, partitions, gratings, parapets, electrical networks, ventilation and many others, including the maintenance of hot and cold water supply systems.
In an apartment building, all nodes of these systems are inspected by specialists and, where necessary, work is carried out to prevent possible malfunctions: replacement of risers, parts of the system.
For example, if the plaster was restored at the entrance, the radiators were changed, all this is a current repair. Water supply and sewerage, individual parts and elements of systems, pumping units must function properly.
Every person from time to time in his apartment touches, whitens, and glues something. If he has doubts whether, for example, the old window will stand the next cold, he will replace it with a new one. When the owner knows that the roof covering of his house is about to lose weight, he will remove rotten boards in advance and put in new ones.
Repair in the bathroom, if it provides for the replacement of wall coverings, plumbing and pipes, is also ongoing. And if the owner plans to reconstruct the room, such as carrying walls and doorways, then in this case it will be necessary to make a major one.
Maintenance is also called planned. The service organization annually draws up estimates for the planned work. In a word, they provide for everything that is included in ensuring the trouble-free operation of an object in accordance with its purpose. That is, the depreciation changes in the building should be eliminated as much as possible and faults should be eliminated before an emergency situation arises.
For example, at the entrance (as a public place) with a frequency of 3-5 years, the following work should be carried out:
- restoration of the plaster layer in places where it cracked or crumbled;
- glass insertion, elimination of cracks and holes in window frames ;
- painting of walls and elevation slopes, railings.
The capital has a periodicity of 25 years.
There is such a routine repair of buildings as unplanned. It begins with a visual inspection of the room. Then compiled a list and cost estimates. And only after that all materials are purchased - and a team of specialists begins to carry out the work.
If the management company systematically evades its assumed responsibilities, then within the framework of the current legal system, homeowners of an apartment building can force it to carry out maintenance work on the building both in administrative and judicial proceedings. But in practice, such disputes last for years - and, in essence, nothing is resolved. Landlords pay for services that are not actually produced. This is very sad, and this must be fought.
