How to agree on the redevelopment of an apartment

Each of us lives in motion, and the day comes when an apartment or a private house ceases to suit us. We undertake cosmetic or more in-depth overhauls. In some cases, in order to eliminate one of the walls or build another, you need to take the permission of the authorities, because redevelopment is a vitally important action. The world of officials lives by its own rules, sometimes not always understood by mere mortals. Meanwhile, it is with them that it is necessary to coordinate their construction plans. This process can be delayed if a person is not initiated in its subtleties. However, if you know exactly how to coordinate the redevelopment, you can save time and nerves.

Despite the fact that we are talking about an apartment that is your property, not all actions in it will be correctly done independently, without the opinion of a specialist. The greatest risk in this regard is the alteration of bearing ceilings. If we are talking about a multi-storey building, then its design involves a certain construction of walls, violating which, you can cause the collapse of the entire building. There are questions about changing the location of the bathroom or communication pipes. It happens that in a new building, even before the end of all work, the owner seeks to optimize the location of residential, and sometimes non-residential premises for his interests. And he does it by inviting builders or independently, with his tool. In any such case, in order to strictly comply with the law (SNiP), the permission of the relevant municipal service or organization that has permission to do this work is required. In any case, the agreed documents will allow you to sleep peacefully at night.

What is better to do first: redevelopment or coordination?

It happens that time does not tolerate, and the desired arrangement of their housing has to be done before the deadline for obtaining permission for it. Well, if it comes to a new building, where people have not yet settled. And if we are talking about an apartment located in a dilapidated apartment building? First of all, this is fraught with dissatisfaction with neighbors who are absolutely not interested in your amazing project. They can instantly make a complaint to the Rospotrebnadzor service, and with such development, the case may result in a fine and prohibition of independently performed work. Having permission on hand, when repairing premises, one should only strictly observe the “hours of silence”.

If, without a project, you decide to demolish a wall, and even a load-bearing one, then you can face a very substantial fine. In addition, you will have to invest in returning the apartment to its original appearance.

Stulchak - he also requires coordination

This also happens: a person does not even suspect that moving the bathroom to another wall or to another room also requires the approval of the regulatory body. In a new building, such a question is easily handled by the contractor, who knows all the details, how to coordinate this and what exactly is subject to official permission. But in a house that has been commissioned for a long time, it is better to consult in advance in order to know what agreed documents are needed.

In the capital, permits or prohibits the redevelopment of apartments Moszhilinspektsiya.There are various formats of actions for receiving the treasured paper. With a simplified redevelopment of the bathroom, a sketch is enough, a freehand sketch (preferably with a note from the management company). These actions are officially approved if:

• according to your intentions, you do not need to increase the size of the bathroom to the detriment of other rooms, you are only allowed to remove one of the walls in your apartment - the one that is between the bathroom and the toilet;
• in addition, you can get permission for only one sketch, if you undertake to independently move the bathroom to another wall.

In what cases will you be required to manufacture and coordinate a separate project:

• if you intend to put a bidet or a booth of a hygienic shower next to the toilet, this is another outlet for the sewage system, and it requires an official draft by law;
• if the room is expanding due to other living rooms, which, of course, will be accompanied by redevelopment of the walls.

All the documents necessary to permit your independent actions are included in a specific package from the BTI data sheet, a single housing document, actually a sketch, a green note for the apartment and written consent of the homeowners.

Another point to be sure to know: the bathroom should not be located above the kitchen or other living quarters of the house neighbors from below or from the side. In your apartment, he should not directly go into the bedroom or into the same kitchen, this is prohibited. But to increase the area of ​​the bathroom by reducing the area of ​​the corridor, it is enough to imagine the corresponding project.

If in the end you received all the permissions regarding the bathroom and completed the redevelopment of the house, then after that you need to call the BTI specialists. They will carry out all measurements, make changes to the technical passport of your apartment and give it to you.

Redevelopment in a new house - how to do it right?

As a rule, permission to transfer the bathroom can occur in a long-inhabited apartment building. Another thing is a new building, now many owners are trying before moving into a new apartment, to equip it for themselves. And often we are talking about the redevelopment of the premises, the demolition of the walls, including the bearing, as well as other actions, which may include the transfer of the bathroom. The main thing is not to wait until the decoration of the premises begins, so as not to spend extra money. In this case, you can not think about the reaction of the neighbors to the loud sounds of the grinder or the knock of the chipper in the rooms through the wall.

The main document that distinguishes the approval in a new building from other permits is a certificate of the owner of the apartment. If the developer has yet to complete all the papers on the house being built, then difficulties may arise. And not for a week, but for several months. However, today it is required from the builder to coordinate such papers initially. But if you do everything yourself, without waiting for anyone, then subsequently the matter can go to court - with the requirement to bring the apartment in line with the original project. In new buildings this is not a joke, because we are talking about dozens of lives of other residents.

Of course, it is advisable to consult with specialists, but even without this it is clear that, for example, the project of transferring load-bearing floors of a house is subject to mandatory authorization.

Among the actions that do not require coordination in the new building include:

• redecorating the premises inside the house (this applies to painting walls, wallpapering, installing complex ceilings, linoleum rework, replacing door and window structures);
• equipping the premises inside the house with plumbing, installing heating appliances, moving a gas stove and other equipment, if this does not require laying new networks;
• equipment of premises with elements of built-in furniture (cabinets), installation of a television antenna.

But there are cases in a new building when you do not need to go for a separate permit, but you must submit an appropriate application to the technical accounting authority:

• elimination of openings of load-bearing walls (elementary laying of them with brick or other building materials);
• adjustment of the front door;
• if the house is a panel, then it is possible to disassemble a partition that is not related to bearing ceilings;
• in a new building, you can mount additional partitions, but without changing the load on the floors;
• You can install PVC windows on the balcony (if this is part of the overall project).

A special permit must be obtained without fail if in a new building the homeowner:

• has his own project of redevelopment of the apartment in terms of the attic, basement or other technical premises of the house, occupied unauthorized;
• going to take out central heating batteries on the balcony and other rooms not included in the category of residential;
• it is also impossible without the approval to eliminate the doorways that connect the kitchen to another living room if the kitchen has a gas stove;
• You should not begin to equip a heated floor covering, made from the calculation of recharge from central heating, without receiving official paper;
• it is unacceptable to dismantle the ventilation ducts, reducing their number.

If any of these violations of building rules and norms occurred in the new building, the relevant state body has the right, without waiting to bring the apartment into the state of the original project, to sue the homeowner. In this case, you will have to not only spend money on bringing the premises into an appropriate state, but also pay a fine for unauthorized illegal actions.

At present, obtaining the desired permission for an existing project is greatly simplified. There is no need to run through various authorities and coordinate their actions with each of them. It is enough to collect all the documents and submit them to the MFC.
