Responsibilities of the management company for the maintenance of the house. Apartment building maintenance contract

A huge number of apartment buildings are being built, and how many have already been erected and are functioning. The question arises about their maintenance. This is a very difficult and serious activity. For this reason, it is recommended to trust professionals. Most of these companies conscientiously perform the work that is fixed in the contract. Among other things, they free tenants from many worries. Citizens rarely come to mind to pay attention to the responsibilities of the management company for the maintenance of the house. However, few people think that a special mutual agreement should be concluded with the office. It usually determines the order and working conditions of the responsible organization.

Apartment building maintenance contract

This type of administration agreement is still a new type of document. Most often, it is compiled incompetently, due to the fact that few people want to take responsibility for housing and communal services. The contract is the main document by which the services are provided to the owners.

Owners should choose with whom to conclude it, depending on the type of home management organization: UK, Homeowners Association or housing cooperative (housing cooperative). Each tenant must have such an agreement. Otherwise, there will be no reason to make a claim. In addition, the customer must indicate to the tenant what actions to perform. The responsibilities of the management company for the maintenance of the house when drawing up the agreement should be discussed at meetings of residents.

Essence of the contract

Guided by the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, we note that common property becomes an important condition of the agreement. Actually, it is used by the Criminal Code and Homeowners Association to conduct their activities. The document must clearly state which property of the tenants is shared property. If this is not the case, lawyers will not be able to prove or disprove anything. General property - this is all that does not apply to private property.

For example, roofing, foundation, house communications, mailboxes, metering stations, access doors. Note that if one owner owns property that is located outside his apartment, it is not shared. You should be careful about these items and write them down carefully. For the proper execution of the contract, it is necessary to be guided by the requirements and standards of technical operation of the housing stock from 2003. So, the rules for maintaining an apartment building should become the fundamental document when concluding an agreement.

Housing and communal services as a life support system

The modern metropolis is a whole organization that interacts with each other in various fields, for example, urban economy, regional economy. Housing and utilities should also be referred to them. So, housing and communal services is a city system that provides services to the population, such as street lighting, public transport, landscaping, garbage collection and much more.

Residents, in turn, hire intermediaries (management organizations) so that representatives can legally act in their interests. For this, a contract for the provision of public services is concluded . Consider what is included in it and how it is made out. This is an important element of cooperation between the population and management companies.

Utility Contract

The purpose of the agreement is the favorable maintenance of the premises, entrances, and the local area. The terms of the contract are the price and settlement procedure of the parties, their rights, obligations, liability and dispute resolution system. To provide apartments with water, heat, light, gas, such an agreement is required. Payment for these services is usually made upon receipt. In case of debt, interest is charged daily.

All this is the responsibility of the management company for the maintenance of the house. We pay attention to the purpose of the contract, that is, the maintenance of non-residential premises, as well as the surrounding territory, in order and cleanliness.

Repair work

According to the decree of the Federal Agency for Construction and Housing and Public Utilities of the Russian Federation of 2003 N 170, the next repair of access roads according to estimates in high-rise buildings will be carried out once every three to five years. If violations of the terms of this document are found, the owners have the right to seek help. Accordingly, you need to ask the management company to carry out such repair of the entrances. This includes repair work:

• canopy over the front door;
• porch;
• stairs
• sexes;
• porch doors;
• handrails;
• mailboxes;
• windows;
• roofs;
• walls;
• ceilings;
• electrical wiring;
• garbage chutes etc.

The necessary list of works must be included in the defective statement. It is signed by the owners, the organization responsible for this, and the district head of administration. When compiling such a paper, tenants should pay special attention and write all the items in the documented statement, otherwise no one will do anything.

Violations during repair work

All changes that are made should be evaluated and accepted by the owners, as well as the inspector of the housing inspection of the city. In practice, this often does not happen immediately, since the management companies and their contractors do not fulfill all the items in the statement. For example, they sometimes delay the repair on time or do it in bad faith. Therefore, tenants need to pay attention to ensure that all the work mentioned in the defective statement is done. There are also cases of falsification of signatures of residents in acts of acceptance of work. Attention should be paid to such violations and promptly reported to the district administration.

Technical maintenance of houses

So, maintenance is the proper care of multi-story property. It is carried out at the expense of the payment made by the residents. Where the prices come from can be explained as follows. Tariffs are based on actual expenses incurred by the management company in the previous year. They are usually calculated by the company and put forward for consideration by the deputy council.

Service Obligations

It should perform the following series of works:

1. It is correct to provide utilities in each apartment: heat supply, water supply, electricity, gas, sewage.
2. Ensure the necessary functioning of the equipment and systems of the house: elevators, ventilation, heating systems, water supply, smoke exhaust, garbage chute, electricity networks (to the input terminals of apartment electricity meters).
3. To establish engineering equipment, eliminate the emergency state of building structures, carry out technical inspections of parts of the building, prepare for periodic operation by the seasons, keep stairwells and the house area clean.
4. To prepare a high-rise building for operation in the autumn-winter period.
5. Serve the chute.
6. In accordance with the approved plan, current and major repairs of the house should be carried out.
7. To charge and recalculate the payment for housing and communal services.
8. Provide a system of benefits.
9. Carry out the technical maintenance of the apartment building with the following types of work:

• replace gaskets, packing of water-folding fittings;

• strengthen loose plumbing;
• eliminate blockages of risers and sewage systems (in addition to apartments) that occurred not through the fault of the owner;
• regulate water supply and heating with troubleshooting, flush pipelines and heating appliances;
• if a leak occurs through the fault of the service company, eliminate it, as well as other violations;
• carry out mandatory repairs of electrical wires in the entrances.

House territory

Among other things, managing organizations are obliged to cut shrubs around the porches, plant flowers, mow grass up to 5 meters from the building, clean the area from dirt (snow), paint and repair ballot boxes, benches, fences, make children's towns and sandboxes. If there is parking, as well as underground parking, all cleaning work belongs to the service organization. Household cleaning is also considered a maintenance point. Also in the list of obligations of the Criminal Code is to keep the building clean. This is cleaning the porches, disinfection, deratization.

This is mandatory, as a rule, carried out annually, with the involvement of sanitary and epidemiological services. Preventive inspection of communication networks should be carried out twice during one calendar year. The first time this happens in the spring, and the second in the fall.

Grounding of a multi-storey building

We draw attention to the fact that in each residential building the management company must make a grounding contour of the house. Grounding is one of the prerequisites for safety; it is a construction of non-conductive equipment connected to the soil, with the help of which the ground loop is formed . The design consists of an earthing switch, which is in electrical contact with the surface, and a metal conductor.

So, the responsibilities of the management company for the maintenance of the house should be carried out on time and in good order. Now there is a targeted reform of the housing and communal services. An important point in this will be the simplification and facilitation of the service delivery process. Regulatory documents establish all kinds of relationships between citizens and suppliers. In any case, housing and communal services is a responsible area in which one must always rely on regulations.
