In June 2011, the law of the city of Moscow was updated, in which the housing policy of the capital received new goals and objectives, and the authorities changed the main directions of activity in order to ensure the rights of citizens to decent housing. State support is being provided to citizens living in Moscow, and this assistance has also taken on new forms. Particular attention is paid to the intended use of all residential premises. In addition, the program of housing renovation of the old fund is gaining momentum, the housing policy of the capital is aimed at improving its quality. Since this topic is very relevant, we can say - relevant, it will be given special attention in this article. We’ll start with her.
Renovation
The purpose of renovation is to take care of the residents of Moscow, whose houses gradually but quickly enough turn into unsuitable for living. The housing policy of the capital’s authorities is aimed at the demolition of emergency and dilapidated five-story housing and the relocation of Muscovites to new, beautiful, modern homes. Under this program, all those who move from five-story buildings intended for demolition will receive comfortable, equivalent apartments in the same area where they lived.
There are, of course, residents who are not too happy with the renovation that is beginning, they believe that the Department of Housing Policy has prepared some kind of catch, moving over, perhaps not one. However, the authorities answer all, even the most tricky, questions. And any Muscovite can voice a topic that worries him, without doubting that an answer will be given immediately. One has only to visit the website of the Department of Housing Policy. In every district of Moscow, all conditions have been created in order to receive absolutely any information.
Story
During the industrial housing construction, five-story buildings in Moscow were erected in huge numbers, and this has been happening for twenty years, starting in 1957. But many in the capital and much older buildings, still the Stalin period - from the beginning of the thirties. In them, the number of storeys is different - from two to four. They are built very high quality, with regard to walls, roofs, foundations. But even if you change the communications in all apartments, this will not help, because the centralized pipelines are worn out and can not cope: sewage, water supply, gas pipeline, heating complex.
For this reason, living in such houses is fraught with constant overcoming of difficulties, which is what the population is notified by the Moscow Department of Housing Policy. Most of these buildings are not designed for operation for more than twenty to fifty years. Dates expire, but somewhere else has expired a long time. Little by little, renovation has been going on in the capital for a long time - since 1988, old houses of demolished series are being cleaned, people are being resettled. Already more than one hundred and sixty thousand families have received new housing under this program.
Unbearable series
In Moscow, a huge number of five-story buildings built in the fifties, but not included in the lists of demolished buildings. These are stronger houses, but with their detailed technical examination it became clear that they are already very close to making them on the list of emergency housing. Even today, Muscovites point to the unsatisfactory condition of such houses, because the residents living in them do not feel not only modern comfort, but often security.
The renovation program - the resettlement of such five-story residential buildings - was created to update the housing stock of the capital of Russia. Indeed, it is better not to wait until the five-story buildings begin to crumble. This city is the face of our country, therefore, not only convenience and safety are important for citizens (but this is the housing policy of the city of Moscow puts above all), beauty is also important. Probably, in no city in the country there are so many tourists from all over the world. The dilapidated and gray "Khrushchev" five-story building can not decorate our capital.
Preparatory work
According to the renovation program, the Department of Housing Policy and Housing Fund of Moscow promises modern and excellently furnished apartments to all residents of the old five-story buildings. Now preparatory work is going on. First of all, the opinion of contractual tenants (social hiring) and apartment owners about their desire to bring this building into the renovation project is being clarified. The vote is passing.
Free sites for the construction of new starting houses are selected. The city budget allocates funds so that the program runs smoothly. The Department of Housing Policy and the Housing Fund determines the mechanisms for attracting investments, since budget funds will be clearly insufficient for the full implementation of this program. Since February 2017, the government of the capital has been closely engaged in solving these difficult tasks. To help him - the adoption of a federal law approving the renovation program.
New apartments
The city’s housing policy has always used a certain “Moscow” standard for providing apartments moving from dilapidated housing. The main conditions are as follows. An apartment in a new house will certainly be equivalent. This means that the number of rooms will be the same, the living area is no less, but the common areas are much more spacious - these are kitchens of ten square meters, and not five and a half, as in the "Khrushchev" houses, as well as an entrance hall and a corridor , bathroom and toilet - all this will meet the modern requirements of convenience.
The new apartment will be provided on the territory of the same area where the demolished house is located, as for the Central Administrative District, the Tyumen Autonomous Region, and Zelenograd. Apartments are provided in the property - and completely free. However, those who wish to remain a tenant of social housing may well get a new apartment under such an agreement. If there are waiting lists among those moving from dilapidated housing expecting improvement of living conditions, they will definitely receive a new apartment taking into account housing standards. This means - already with improvement, that is, you will not have to wait and move a second time. It remains to add that in the new apartments there will be a "comfort" class finish, not an "economy" class, and in all quarters the renovation program provides for quality improvement and the presence of excellent infrastructure.
What disturbs residents - answers to questions
The Department of Housing Policy of Moscow is concerned, first of all, about the fact that Muscovites timely and accurately receive all the information regarding the renovation program. The website of the Government of the capital answers any questions of residents immediately. Most often, Muscovites want to know the details of the upcoming changes.
Despite the fact that the total area of apartments obtained in exchange for dilapidated housing will be much larger than the previous one (mainly due to premises not included in the living space - kitchen, hallway and the like), you will not have to pay extra for an increase in the number of square meters, as many are worried about this, especially people of the age who rely only on their retirement.
Details
New houses will be built of the best materials - either monolithic or panel, but the panels are not like the old, these are new technologies. In addition, modern projects include freight and passenger elevators, spacious porches with beautiful and expensive finishes. The ceilings in the apartments will be high, the sound insulation is much better than in the "Khrushchev".
Everywhere, including in the entrances, there will certainly be modern double-glazed windows. Redevelopment in all apartments is possible any. Everything is supposed to be done conveniently for residents, even the entrance to the entrance and the elevator hall are designed on the same level so that wheelchairs with disabilities or people with babies can easily move and climb floors.
Appearance and interior content
Moscow's housing policy is not just about apartments. Each built house will have a non-standard and bright facade, which, of course, will affect the appearance of the city, and therefore will create a good mood for its residents and guests. But not only beauty matters. Instead of demolished five-story buildings, buildings capable of serving more than a hundred years will be erected, and if major repairs are made to them on time and their maintenance is proper, these buildings will stand idle for more than a hundred years.
Doesn’t the housing stock concern the city’s housing policy, especially its decrepit part? Of course, the existing infrastructure already exists there, people are used to it. However, nothing will interfere with the comprehensive development of each quarter, while erecting additional social facilities in accordance with the legal regulations of the Russian Federation and Moscow. Infrastructure in each specific territory is provided in a much larger volume than it was presented in the old five-story building.
What exactly
The improvement standards in all renovation blocks will be applied with the most modern ones - bike paths, conservation and creation of small local parks, public sports, playgrounds, and a variety of leisure infrastructure. Green spaces will not decrease at all, on the contrary - they will increase.
The projects of the new quarters will be dealt with by the best domestic and world architects, specialists in urban studies, and experts in the design of urban infrastructure. A special place in the plans is transport. Residents will not change the area, and therefore no special changes in terms of accessibility will happen. Unless the routes will be added and, perhaps, they will be more branched.
Equivalent and Equivalent Apartments
These two similar-sounding words mean not the same thing at all. A new apartment, which at market value is identical to the old one, is equivalent. No other parameters may coincide here: neither the number of square meters, nor the district, nor the floor. But equivalence is determined by completely different characteristics, the most important thing here is its consumer value: the number of rooms, area, district. At least it is the same as the old one, but more often it is better. Of course, due to the fact that it is new. The cost of a new apartment will be twenty to thirty percent higher than the cost of the "Khrushchev".
What kind of housing does Muscovites expect within the framework of the renovation program - equivalent or equivalent? Of course - the most profitable. Getting an equivalent apartment is always preferable. If only because the square meter in new buildings is significantly different from the cost per square meter in the five-story building, new houses are much more expensive. Those who, in spite of the beginning renovation, made expensive repairs in their "Khrushchev" a little upset. They will not receive compensation. But in a new place, residents are waiting for apartments with a fine finish of the "comfort" class and high-quality (rather than cheap) plumbing.
The laws
Citizens with permanent registration in the capital should be guaranteed the right to housing. Therefore, the entire housing stock depends entirely on the housing policy of the city of Moscow. The right of citizens is ensured by providing urban-owned residential premises in the order established by legal acts and laws of Moscow. Housing is also provided by assisting and assisting citizens in the construction or acquisition of premises using their own or other means and in the ways provided for by the laws of Russia and specifically Moscow.
The main goal and main objective of the housing policy of Moscow is the accessibility of the acquisition of premises by citizens. For this, conditions are created and assistance is provided. Improving living conditions is also important. The real estate market is functioning constantly and quite efficiently, the areas of services for repair, maintenance and management of housing are developing. Mortgage lending is being developed for the purchase of apartments in property, city budget funds are used to improve the conditions of Muscovites, subsidies are provided for the construction or acquisition of premises.
Housing policy of the city in addition to renovation
Citizens are provided with living quarters both on social hiring, on contractual hiring, as well as on gratuitous use. All contracts are drawn up in the order and on the conditions established by the legislation of the Russian Federation, the laws of the city of Moscow and other legal acts. Construction is being stimulated, conditions are being created for the development of the housing policy fund of the city of Moscow. Self-government is being improved in apartment buildings, and the owners of premises are becoming more and more involved in this.
The rights of citizens are protected in relation to the consumption of services - utilities and maintenance of housing stock in Moscow. Control is provided by the Department of Housing Policy regarding compliance with legislation in the city. State control is also provided for the safety and use of the fund, for the compliance of the premises with technical and sanitary standards and rules that are established by law. The Department of Housing Policy ensures that the premises comply with all the requirements of Moscow law.
