the Situation with balconies in the Khrushchev in St. Petersburg, as well as throughout the country, is ambiguous. The Housing Code stipulates that balconies and loggias is not the personal property of tenant, and obschedomovoe. It was not always so, up to 2005, the balconies and loggias was part of the apartments.
Mass glazing of balconies in Khrushchev began in the nineties. People simply turned to the company or glazed loggia with their hands. Few people then thought that since 1959, in Leningrad, a requirement to coordinate exterior house facade with the profile structure of the city administration. How many now in St. Petersburg the glazed balconies in the Khrushchev, nobody knows, but obviously we are talking about hundreds of thousands of apartments.
of Course, the residents of the glass in his own way. Someone picked a tree, someone the siding, someone had painted the frames in bright colors. The houses look colorful, but Khrushchev does not have any conservation status, they are concentrated in residential districts of St. Petersburg, where tourists do not look.
what is the glazing of balconies in the Khrushchev – it is arbitrariness, urban management companies to tenants from time to time reminded. Been to Petersburg and a few cases when people were forced to dismantle the glazing, for example, on the complaint of neighbors. The algorithm was like this: after receiving a complaint, the management company requested, on what basis the tenant balcony, he could not provide legal documents (because they are not), the next step was the filing of a claim. Of course, all such cases management companies have won. But these were exceptional cases.
And now zhilkomservisa in St. Petersburg began sending notices that the balconies of the residents must either provide documents or to be dismantled.
With the question of who initiated this process, “RG” appealed to the housing Committee, the Committee on urban planning and architecture, regional administration, housing inspection. In all departments, “RG” reported that no “balcony raids”, they have not performed and requirements for real estate management company to force tenants to dismantle unauthorized glazing not exposed.
But, as has informed “RG” in the office of the Deputy of Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg Denis Chetyrbok, to the Committee on the legislation of city Parliament have received many complaints from citizens who seek to protect their balconies in Khrushchev. People have received letters from management companies and reached an impasse, where to go, who to complain to if declared by the infringer. The townspeople are outraged, because the dismantling of the balcony and coordination of new is spending hundreds of thousands of rubles, and the majority of owners of apartments in the Khrushchev – is pensioners, disabled people or young families who have taken a home mortgage.
it is Noteworthy that six months ago the owners of the glazed balconies in the Khrushchevx reassured. In the city entered and immediately canceled the fines for unauthorized glazing of balconies. Now to administrative responsibility can be attracted only by those who are only going to glaze the balcony without approval. The old balconies of fines are not taken.
This law in St. Petersburg is nicknamed “the Balcony of the Amnesty”. But as it turned out, the measure turned out to be half-hearted, because of the dismantling of the balcony does not help. And zhilkomservisa using his right, trying to achieve full compliance with the facades project. Management companies are technically correct and theoretically you can sue for hundreds of thousands of St. Petersburgers.
In the office of the Deputy Chetyrbok “RG” reported that the city Parliament is going to save owners of old glass-fronted balconies. Parliament has drafted a bill that “Amnesty” unauthorized glazed in past years, the balconies. In particular, management companies should be prohibited to make unauthorized demolition of old structures in the Khrushchev, unless such balconies are not to disturb anyone. Now the bill is pending. But these things take time.
Now, residents who have received “letters of happiness” from zhilkomservisa, dread subpoenas.
