  1. On the account of the regional operator , the funds received by the fund are managed by the regional authorities. Money received from the owners of apartments in apartment buildings is stored in the general fund of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. The order of capital work is established by the regional program.
  2. On an individual MKD account , the money collected goes towards the renovation of one specific house. Home owners open a bank account, which can be managed by a management company (MC) or a housing cooperative.

Major renovations are carried out in buildings with more than 3 apartments . In houses that are recognized as unsafe or subject to demolition , repair work is not carried out at the expense of the fund. Owners of apartments located in such buildings are exempt from the obligation to make payments.

Who does the overhaul

Responsibility for completing the work falls on the shoulders of the regional operator if residents decide to accumulate funds in his account. RO maintains a special register of contractors throughout the Russian Federation who are ideal for major repairs. The regional operator is approved based on the decision of the authorities.

If residents decide to open a special bank account, they can choose the contractor themselves. The most important thing is that it is accredited and has the necessary permits and licenses to carry out construction work.

According to clause 3.8 of MDS81-35.2004:

clause 3.8. Major repairs of buildings and structures include work to restore or replace individual parts of buildings (structures) or entire structures, parts and engineering equipment due to their physical wear and tear with more durable and economical ones that improve their performance.

Major repairs of external utilities and improvement facilities include repairs of water supply, sewerage, heat and gas and electricity networks, landscaping of courtyard areas, repair of paths, driveways and sidewalks, etc.

Preventive (current) repairs consist of systematically and timely work carried out to prevent wear of structures, finishing, engineering equipment, as well as work to eliminate minor damage and malfunctions.

Major and current repairs (concept and differences)

List of works for current repairs of an apartment building

Does the house need major renovations?

Any home will sooner or later need major repairs, even a new building. In any case, it will lose its performance characteristics over time. The timing of work for each building is determined individually by the Regional Capital Repair Program.

This document indicates the order of houses (the oldest ones are first on the list, and new buildings are at the end). The program also contains a list of recommended works. The need for major repairs is determined based on three factors: the year the building was put into operation, the date it was last carried out, how regularly the owners pay contributions (the amount of the accumulated amount).

How is the contribution calculated?

Houses

The municipal government, represented by the tariff department, sets the minimum contribution (tariff) for the overhaul of a residential building on its territory. By default, it is applied to all residential buildings in the village, but residents can change it upward if they wish. The fee for an individual apartment or premises is calculated as a tariff multiplied by the total area of ​​the premises.

For example, if the city has a tariff of 7.08 rubles per meter, then for an apartment of 56 meters the monthly payment will be 396.48 rubles.

conclusions

Overhaul of residential buildings is a fairly new phenomenon for Russian citizens:

  • The responsibility for collecting money for major repairs lies with the owners. Quality control is carried out by the municipal authorities.
  • Financial issues (for example, tariffs) are the responsibility of regional authorities. No federal contributions have been established.
  • You can accumulate money in a general account with a regional operator or in a separate MKD bank account - at the request of the owners.
  • Issues of major repairs are resolved at a general meeting of owners. A qualified majority of 2/3 votes is required to make a decision.
  • Refusal to carry out major repairs is not allowed, and civil liability is established for non-payment of contributions.
  • The list of houses and works is compiled annually and reflected within the framework of the regional overhaul program.
