Home/Apartment building/Repairs at the entrance
All residents of apartment buildings are interested in clean, well-maintained entrances, but maintaining the building in proper condition is not easy. The presentable appearance of the front door depends on the integrity of the housing and communal services/homeowners association and all citizens living in the apartment building. Management companies rarely take the initiative to organize repairs to the entrance to an apartment building, so the owners of residential premises must draw up a collective statement in any form addressed to the management of the housing and communal institution. Residents of apartment buildings should take into account that in the absence of their decision (approved at the general meeting), KSK/HOA may avoid responsibility.
Normative base
The frequency, list, conditions for carrying out repair activities at the entrance of an apartment building are regulated by such regulations as:
Attention! If you have any questions, you can chat for free with a lawyer at the bottom of the screen or call Moscow; Saint Petersburg; Free call for all of Russia.
- Resolution No. 170, approved by the State Construction Committee of Russia;
- Housing Code of the Russian State (Article 166);
- MDK_2_04.2004 – Methodological manual describing in detail the conditions for maintaining and repairing MKD.
When is the entrance to the apartment building being repaired?
Redecoration is a planned event that should be carried out once every 3-5 years, depending on the type and deterioration of the building. Servicing business entities bear these obligations, regardless of whether they are specified in the contract or not. Checking the current condition and determining the wear and tear of the entrance to an apartment building is carried out in accordance with established rules (Resolution No. 170).
Attention
If the appearance of the front door deteriorates, cosmetic/overhaul repairs may be carried out outside of schedule. To do this, a corresponding application is sent to the housing and communal services, with photographs attached to it of the areas subject to restoration/restoration. According to the Housing Code, the executive organization can form a special commission that will analyze the current state of the front room and make a decision on the range of necessary repairs.
Repair procedure
Despite the fact that the management company’s obligation to carry out repair work is often specified in the contract, some unscrupulous management companies sometimes try to evade this procedure. In this regard, many residents are interested in how to force the management company to make repairs to the entrance.
Submitting an application
Repairs must be carried out at the initiative of the management company, but if this does not happen, residents have the right to submit an appropriate application. In the document you must express your complaints and attach to it a list of work that needs to be carried out.
There is no strictly established application form. It is drawn up in free form and contains the details of the parties.
Submitting an application is one of the effective ways to get the management company to repair the entrance.
Payment for work
Major and current repairs, which are carried out on the initiative of the management company, are carried out at the expense of funds donated by residents as contributions for the maintenance and repair of residential premises.
If the work is carried out at the request of residents, the latter, in accordance with the law, are required to pay 5% of the cost of all activities.
Let's discuss in more detail at whose expense the repair of the entrance to an apartment building is carried out.
At the expense of the management company
Each owner of square meters in an apartment building pays monthly utility bills. The receipt also includes contributions for the maintenance and repair of common areas. If there is a need for certain work, residents do not have to pay additional money for it.
In general, if the management company works correctly, citizens usually do not worry about making repairs at the entrance at the expense of the management company.
Find out how tariffs for maintaining common property in an apartment building are calculated.
Additional funds
As noted above, if repair work is carried out on the basis of an application drawn up by the residents of the house, then additional funds in the amount of 5% of the amount spent are required to be collected from the apartment owners.
In this case, it will not be possible to force the housing and communal services to make repairs at the entrance solely at their own expense.
State assistance for repairs
In accordance with the norms of housing legislation, a program for the overhaul of apartment buildings is being drawn up in the regions. Each federal subject creates its own capital repair fund for such purposes.
Accumulated funds can be stored:
- on the account of a credit institution;
- on the account of the regional operator.
Find out what the fund for capital repairs of apartment buildings is.
At the expense of the owners
Many are also interested in who should make repairs in the entrance of an apartment building after a fire, flood and other incidents. Such expenses are borne by the owner of the property through whose fault the damage to the public place occurred. This is the only case when all funds are collected from the tenant of an apartment building.
Cost of work
The cost of certain works differs. It is prescribed in the agreement between the apartment owners and the management company.
However, it is worth considering that over time, the cost of repairing the entrances of apartment buildings may change, depending on rising prices. As a rule, such a clause should also be contained in the contract, which once again emphasizes the need to read the document in detail before signing it.
Who is repairing the entrance?
There are several options for how to repair the entrance to an apartment building. Thus, repair work can be carried out by management company employees or contractors.
The same agreement determines how the management company selects the contractor. This often happens by announcing a tender and agreeing with the decision of the general meeting of owners of a residential building.
If the renovation is carried out by the decision of the owners and the residents collect additional personal funds for this, they have the right to independently choose a contractor.
Renovation of apartment building entrances by management companies is not always satisfactory for residents, which is why many people prefer third-party contractors. Both options do not require additional cash investments from apartment owners.
Who carries out repairs to the entrance to an apartment building?
After receiving the application, the housing and communal enterprise draws up a plan and develops estimate documentation, which includes the following costs:
- for the purchase of materials necessary for modernizing the entrance;
- for wages to workers.
Repair and restoration work at the entrance of an apartment building can be carried out:
- employees of the management company;
- third party contractors;
- by the residents themselves (if desired).
The reason for the rapid failure of steps and porch canopy
Most often, repairs are required due to natural wear and tear on concrete stair steps. Due to the large number of residents in an apartment building, reinforced concrete porch structures wear out much faster than flights of stairs or the entrance porch itself.
As a rule, experts name only four reasons why the entrance group of an apartment building is destroyed:
- Poor quality of concrete or tiles used to cover the passage of the stairs. Often sand and crushed stone are washed out from the surface of the porch in the first years of operation;
- No canopy or porch drainage system. Frost and moisture accumulating at the entrance to an apartment building destroy concrete many times faster than natural wear and tear. Tall bushes and green plantings around the porch area contribute their share;
- Errors by designers and builders that led to subsidence of the foundation, deformation and the appearance of cracks in the reinforced concrete frame of the porch.
The last case is the most difficult. As a rule, before major renovations are carried out, the entrance to an apartment building is organized according to a temporary scheme using an attached wooden flight of stairs. Moreover, the inspection may prohibit the use of the entrance to an apartment building until major repairs are carried out.
Advice! Before looking for a method and example of how to write an application for repair of an entrance porch, it would be correct to do a construction examination of the reasons for the destruction of part of the structure of an apartment building, the foundation and the porch area.
This may serve as a basis for sending claims to the contractor or designer of an apartment building, and secondly, when drawing up a preliminary scope of work and repair estimates, it will be possible to determine exactly what exactly you will have to pay money for.
What is included in the renovation of an apartment building entrance?
According to MDK_2_04.2004, the standard list of measures required to modernize the entrance of an apartment building includes:
- updating the appearance of walls/ceilings (whitewashing/painting/plastering);
- replacement of glass and window fittings;
- repair of damaged areas of flooring;
- painting the surface of metal equipment (heating systems);
- restoration of the entrance group (replacement of the porch/door leaf);
- repair of boxes intended for collecting/storing mail;
- replacement of lighting fixtures (wall/ceiling);
- updating handrails;
- arrangement of canopies over the entrance.
This list is incomplete and can be supplemented depending on the needs of the owners of the apartment building and the type of entrance (presence of a garbage chute, elevator, large hall, etc.).
Who pays for the repairs at the entrance?
In practice, housing and communal services do not repair “front doors” for several years, bringing them to a state of disrepair. In such cases, owners have two options:
- enter into litigation with the guilty party;
- organize the modernization of the entrance yourself, by concluding a contract with a construction team or at your own expense.
Upon completion of self-repair of the entrance, the owners of residential premises can return a certain part of the money spent. To do this you should:
- draw up a report on the condition of the object before the start of restoration work;
- draw up estimate documentation;
- When purchasing materials, keep all payment documents (receipts) that will be used as evidence;
- send an application and documents, photos confirming the fact of the repairs to the housing and communal services;
- in case of refusal to reimburse the funds spent by the residents, file an application with the court;
- await the results of the trial.
Repairs at the entrance: who is obliged to carry out it and at whose expense can it be done?
Most people prefer to return to their cozy apartment through an equally cozy and well-kept entrance. Often, the condition of common areas - walls, stairs and elevators in apartment buildings - leaves a depressing impression, since even cosmetic repairs have not been carried out in them for years.
If maintenance of personal property is the responsibility of the resident, then who repairs the common property?
Who is obliged to carry out repairs at the entrance?
Responsibility for common areas in apartment buildings is enshrined in Decree of the State Construction Committee dated September 27, 2003 No. 170.
The document defines both the frequency of activities that the management company is obliged to carry out, and the timing of work to eliminate defects and malfunctions.
The Decree lists the basic requirements for the condition:
- stairs;
- floor coverings;
- walls in hallways;
- handrails;
- ceilings;
- lamps;
- other public facilities.
The management company, according to the Resolution, is responsible for maintaining the entrances in proper condition.
The concept of “major repairs,” as well as how and by whom the payment fund for work is formed, is enshrined in Chapter 15 of the Housing Code (hereinafter referred to as the Housing Code). The same regulatory act regulates the maintenance of entrances, attics, roofs and other public places.
Some regions of the Russian Federation have their own regulations governing these issues.
If there is an additional agreement between the residents and the management company, which defines the types of work and the frequency of repairs, then you can rely on it.
The Decree of the State Construction Committee states that in any case, the responsibility to carry out maintenance of public places in terms of cosmetic repairs and elimination of accidents rests with the management company.
If the service organization is in no hurry to fulfill its duties, citing a lack of funding or the absence of a direct agreement with the owners, it is worth pointing out to the head of the organization that, according to the norms of the Resolution, the management company must carry out cosmetic repairs of entrances to apartment buildings once every 3 or 5 years, depending on the condition walls, ceilings and stairs.
A separate additional agreement with the owners of the premises is not required.
Who pays
Major and current cosmetic repairs, which are carried out at the initiative of the management company and are planned, are carried out at the expense of the money that residents pay monthly in the form of contributions for the maintenance and repair of common areas.
Everything is clear by law - management companies are obliged to eliminate accidents and carry out routine maintenance.
In fact, such organizations very often do not fulfill their direct responsibilities and residents have two options in this case : constantly “fight” with the management company, sending requests to eliminate deficiencies and complaints to higher organizations, or raise additional funds and make repairs at their own expense.
Contacting the management company regarding repairs
The appeal to the Criminal Code is written in free form, since there is no form approved by law. You can submit an application either in person, taking it to the office of the Criminal Code, or send it via an officially specified email.
statements:
- In the header you need to write the name of the organization , position and full name of the head.
- The main part describes the problem that needs to be fixed, such as peeling paint on the walls or leaks on the ceiling.
- Ideally, the document should be signed by all apartment owners . The more signatures there are, the better.
Photos of deficiencies attached to documents - leaks or the condition of walls and stairs - work well.
Repair by residents
The law does not restrict apartment owners from their desire to independently carry out repairs in common areas. If the management company does not fulfill its obligations for a long time, you can collect money from those who want it, select materials and a contractor, and quickly restore order in the entrance.
After the repairs have been completed, residents of the house can try to return part of the funds or the full amount for the repairs carried out. For this:
- an act is drawn up that describes the appearance of the object before repair;
- a list of required work and the amount of materials is generated;
- when the work is completed and paid for, an acceptance certificate is drawn up.
The documents, along with copies of checks and the acceptance certificate, are transferred to the management company along with an application requesting reimbursement of expenses. If the company refuses to pay for repairs, you can try to get the money back through the court.

Where can I find out about planned renovations?
Utility services are required to provide apartment owners with information 30 days before the start of repair and restoration activities at the entrance of an apartment building:
- on the planned volume, timing, type of repair and restoration work;
- about the approximate cost of all repairs;
- about the place/time/date of reception of residents to resolve issues related to the organization of cosmetic/major repairs.
Ten days before the start of repair and restoration activities, the housing and communal services must organize a general meeting of consumers, the agenda of which will consider issues related to:
- quality and quantity of building materials, as well as their color scheme;
- appointment of an authorized representative from the residents of the apartment building, who will evaluate/accept the completed repair work;
- conclusion of contracts.
IMPORTANT
At the end of the meeting, a protocol is drawn up about all the decisions made at it and the persons who refused to formalize the contract for the modernization of the “front” apartment building.
Who should repair the entrance door to the entrance?
When a person does not live in a private house or cottage, he has common areas with other residents and apartment owners in the house. Moreover, if one apartment is owned by different owners, they also have separate common areas.
In the case of an apartment building, such places include entrances, elevators, attics and basements, the roof, as well as all utility and utility rooms related to the house. In an apartment, such places are the corridor, kitchen, bathroom and bathroom.
Repairing common areas and maintaining them in proper condition is the common responsibility of all residents and is regulated by law.
Is it possible to register a queue for entrance repairs yourself?
To register a queue for repair and restoration work at the entrance of an apartment building, you must:
- convene a general meeting of consumers (tenants);
- discuss issues related to the operational condition of the “front door”, the scope of the proposed work, and approximate estimates;
- make a unanimous decision;
- fill out the application (in free form) in two copies, one of which should be sent to the management of the housing and communal cooperative.
The document should reflect the following points:
- operational condition of the building;
- approximate date of the last repair;
- the necessary actions that need to be taken to restore the presentability of the entrance;
- norms, laws on the basis of which the application is submitted;
- expected timing/volume of repair operations;
- a note about your right to file a claim in court if the housing and communal services refuses to fulfill its obligations.
Please note:
Claims are considered by housing and communal services within fifteen days after their submission.
Who should be responsible for the maintenance and repair of entrances?
The entrance belongs to public areas. If it is not properly maintained, the room quickly loses its proper appearance.
In addition to regular cleaning, repair work should be carried out in this room from time to time. The clause determining who should make repairs at the entrance of an apartment building is usually written down in the apartment building management agreement.
As a rule, this is the responsibility of:
- management company;
- homeowners association (HOA) boards;
- real estate owners' associations (TSN).
An entrance is a premises that belongs to all apartment owners on the right of common shared ownership. The size of the share depends on the area of the apartment in the general housing stock.
It is also worth mentioning who should repair mailboxes in an apartment building. It is very unpleasant for a tenant when their correspondence, receipts and other materials go missing because the box is damaged or does not close properly.
According to, installing mailboxes is the responsibility of construction companies that are building a house. Their maintenance and repair are carried out by housing maintenance organizations.
Mainly, it depends on the terms of the agreement signed with the residents of the house whether the management company should make repairs in the entrance. Usually, all significant points are written down in the document, so it is advisable to pay special attention to such points before putting your signature on the text of the contract.
What can't be repaired?
The minimum set of services that the executive party is obliged to provide is approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 3, 2013 N 290. Additional work not included in the regulated list is optional, therefore housing and communal services may not perform them. Issues related to the repair of elements not provided for in legal acts are resolved by residents of apartment buildings independently. The contractor (MC) is not obliged to repair the following elements in the entrance of an apartment building:
- intercoms;
- video surveillance systems;
- hot water metering devices;
- panels with an electric meter, including buying new ones;
- satellite dishes;
- electrical wiring (lay new ones), etc.
The difference between a major overhaul and a current one
Current and major repairs differ in the method of implementation/financing, as well as the list of activities included in it. According to the current regulatory framework, current repairs are carried out systematically/periodically in order to prevent wear and tear of the housing stock, as well as to eliminate external defects. Its cost is already included in the cost of housing maintenance (in the receipt).
Capital – involves carrying out large-scale technical measures aimed at restoring destroyed/dilapidated parts of the housing stock. The fund for major repairs is formed from contributions from all owners of residential premises and is a mandatory measure (according to Article 169 of the Housing Code).
Current repairs of apartment building entrances include:
- partial/full restoration of worn floor parts (linoleum, tiles);
- cleaning/painting frames, glazing/replacing windows;
- leveling the surface of the walls (sealing holes, crevices, cracks), as well as whitewashing/painting them.
- repair of handrails/railings/plinths, as well as their painting;
- replacement/repair of lighting devices;
- painting the surface of heating equipment, mailboxes covering the electrical panel of the doors;
- replacement of individual elements of the garbage chute;
- repair of ventilation and damper devices,
- painting doors of mines, elevators.
The overhaul of apartment building entrances includes the following types of activities:
- restoration/replacement of failed elevator equipment and shafts;
- arrangement/repair of attics, basements;
- updating of internal communications (drainage, sewer pipes, heating/plumbing systems, electrical wiring, etc.);
- modernization of the entrance vestibule, including the canopy.
What is considered a repair?
Current
Entrance repair is a current repair, if it refers to work on an apartment building, in order to maintain its appearance in proper condition, restore its resources and replace the main structural elements. Current repairs to the entrance to an apartment building are designed to maintain the operational performance of the building, as well as carry out restoration work.
If you look at the list of works for this type of repair, you can find mention of the condition of entrances in apartment buildings.
As a rule, when calculating estimates for work, employees of management organizations undertake the responsibility to perform the following types of work:
- Replacing entrance doors, painting them, replacing locks and distributing new codes - keys - to residents.
- Glazing of windows, washing windows, cleaning frames, replacing them if necessary.
- Carrying out work on sealing cracks, insulating entrances, patching holes.
- Carrying out painting work on railings, replacing them if necessary, increasing their strength.
- Painting existing panels in the entrance.
- Painting and whitewashing of walls and ceilings. Leveling and washing walls if necessary.
- Painting elevator slopes.
- Replacement of tiles or other covering on the floor when the old one wears out.
The management organization carries out modernization using funds donated by residents for housing maintenance . Therefore, the list of works includes only cosmetic and restoration work, but work to replace communications or move the most important components of the entrance is included in the list of works for another type of repair.
How the entrance should look after cosmetic repairs and what work should be done, see the video below:
Capital
All residents, in accordance with Article 169 of the Housing Code, pay contributions towards major repairs. This is a mandatory measure , which is aimed at forming a capital repair fund (Article 170 of the Housing Code).
The overhaul of the entrance is more global in nature than its predecessor. Entrance repair is a major repair if it involves the following actions:
- replacement of communications;
- installation of communications;
- modernization or replacement of engineering equipment;
- installation, dismantling, moving walls;
- roof and foundation upgrades.
As you can see, major repairs are more global actions that are aimed at maintaining the house in proper condition, far from being in disrepair.
But the scope of authority of workers to carry out major repairs does not include the obligation to carry out cosmetic repairs to the entrance. However, if the staircase or communications passing through it require replacement, then this falls within the scope of the overhaul.
For many apartment owners, renovation of the entrance is a pressing problem. Who should carry out repair work in an apartment building and how to correctly write an application to the management company - read in separate articles on our website.
Report
The organization servicing the apartment building can modernize the “front door” either without the consent of the residents or on their initiative. The responsibility of the management company is to provide an act reflecting the fulfillment of all terms of the contract (a report on the activities performed and resources expended is provided to the residents of the apartment building at the end of the reporting period).
For your information
Often, residential property owners cannot receive a report on the repair work done, since utility services refuse access to the documents. In such cases, according to Resolution No. 731, an administrative penalty may be imposed on the guilty party. To do this, the owners must send a collective application to the Prosecutor's Office/Housing Inspectorate.
Frequency of repairs to the entrance to the apartment building
The general housing stock, including the entrance, is subject to routine repairs - once every five years/three years, capital repairs - once every 20 years, taking into account:
- type of building/entrance;
- the degree of its actual wear;
- operating conditions.
Housing and communal services are obliged to modernize entrances where the five-year period of the last repair and restoration work has expired.
Entrances in dilapidated buildings subject to demolition can be repaired and landscaped only from the point of view of expediency - taking into account the remaining life of the building and in the volumes necessary to maintain the safe sanitary and hygienic condition of the facility.
Attention
Objects subject to planned (routine) repairs are selected during spring inspections. Identified defects, damage to the finishing coating, failure of engineering systems and structural parts of residential property are reflected in a special defect report with a precise indication of the expected volume and types of work. Afterwards, an annual plan is drawn up, which includes a list of entrances that need ongoing repairs. This information is posted in places accessible to citizens or on the websites of the housing and communal association.
For non-compliance with the maintenance standards and timing of repairs of the “front”, the management company/homeowners association bear administrative responsibility.
Complaint about poor quality repairs of the entrance to the apartment building
Each stage of repair and restoration activities at the entrance to an apartment building must be controlled by an authorized person from the apartment owners. Upon completion of the modernization, the executive organization signs, together with the owners, an act of acceptance of work. If citizens are dissatisfied with the quality of the services provided by the contractor, then they should not sign the document. A claim should be sent to the housing management institution, as well as an appeal to the State Housing Inspectorate and the district administration. The application is drawn up according to the following example:
- Full name, address, contact details of applicants;
- document's name;
- reasons for filing a complaint indicating the address of the apartment building;
- a request to conduct an on-site inspection to assess the quality of the repairs performed, as well as to bring the guilty party to justice;
- painting/date.
IMPORTANT
According to rules No. 491, if a service company provides services/work, including repairs, of inadequate quality, then citizens have the right to demand a reduction in the established tariffs for repairs/maintenance of housing stock. To do this, a written application for a change in tariffs is sent to the Criminal Code, which must be registered by the party to whom the document is sent. The person who received the application is obliged to notify the residents within two days of its approval or rejection, indicating the reasons.
Repair of common areas (repair, replacement of elevator, doors in the entrance)
When a person does not live in a private house or cottage, he has common areas with other residents and apartment owners in the house. Moreover, if one apartment is owned by different owners, they also have separate common areas.
In the case of an apartment building, such places include entrances, elevators, attics and basements, the roof, as well as all utility and utility rooms related to the house. In an apartment, such places are the corridor, kitchen, bathroom and bathroom.
Repairing common areas and maintaining them in proper condition is the common responsibility of all residents and is regulated by law.
How often should common areas be renovated?
The legislation regulating the use and maintenance of public places is the Housing Code of the Russian Federation and the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 13.
2006 N 491 “On approval of the Rules for the maintenance of common property in an apartment building and the rules for changing the amount of payment for the maintenance and repair of residential premises in the case of the provision of services and performance of work on the management, maintenance and repair of common property in an apartment building of inadequate quality and (or) intermittently exceeding the established duration." Additions and corrections are often made to the resolution, the latest of which, to date, dates back to March 2014.
According to this document, all common areas of an apartment building, including common building communications, must be maintained in good condition. To do this, property owners must carry out routine repairs in a timely manner and as necessary.
The timing of such repairs is not regulated anywhere, however, the contract for the management and maintenance of the house may stipulate certain intervals between cosmetic repairs of the house's entrance, facade, local area and other areas that do not require constant ongoing repairs.
Major repairs are negotiated separately and the timing of its implementation is approved at a general meeting of home owners. The need for major repairs can also be indicated by an inspection report of certain public places during operation.
In this case, the meeting of owners may decide to carry out major repairs of one of the common areas outside the approved schedule. The Housing Code of the Russian Federation sets a deadline for major repairs of entrances at 5 years.
The time for routine repairs depends only on the need for it. The period for carrying out repair work in entrances of a cosmetic or capital nature should be determined collectively by the residents, taking into account their wishes.
Obviously, it is better to replace windows in the entrance or repair the main components of the heating system in the summer.
While painting walls, ceilings and railings on staircases, as well as repairing stairs and floors can be done at any time of the calendar year.
At whose expense are repairs to common areas carried out?
Repair of common areas is among the services provided by the Management Company. Payments for current, cosmetic and even major repairs are included in the amount that residents pay monthly for operation and management. The amount of this fee is determined annually at a general meeting of residents.
To approve the amount, a quorum of 50% + 1 vote from all homeowners is required.
If at a general meeting of owners it was decided to carry out renovations with capital improvements, for example, installing a new entrance door with a combination lock, replacing windows in the entrance, repairing the road surface in front of the house, etc., then additional costs can be distributed among residents in an order proportional to their share property. At the same time, expenses for general current repairs should still be made at the expense of a monthly fixed payment and only improvements, according to a separate estimate, at the expense of additionally raised funds.
Apartment owners have the right to control the implementation of repair work and receive timely and complete information about their volume and cost. Such information must be provided to the management company or homeowners association within five days from the date of submission of the corresponding request to the board.
It is important to remember that the cost of services not actually provided by the management company can and should be returned to the residents, upon their request.
However, the owners themselves have to monitor compliance with housing legislation regarding the maintenance and repair of common areas in the house.
Elevator repair or replacement
Excerpt from the law on preventive maintenance:
The system of planned preventive maintenance includes:
• a maintenance system consisting of: • periodic inspections; • current repairs; • emergency maintenance; • a system for restoring the service life of elevators, consisting of: · major repairs (replacement); · modernization.
For elevators that have premature physical and moral wear and tear of the equipment, it is allowed to carry out major repairs of the elevator according to its actual condition.
In this case, the scope of work for major repairs (replacement) of equipment is determined by specialists from the engineering center and an organization specialized in elevators. The timing of the work is agreed upon with the organization that owns the elevator.
Modernization is usually carried out on elevators that have reached the end of their service life. In accordance with GOST 22011-95, the assigned service life of the elevator is 25 years.
The scope of work performed during the modernization of the elevator is determined in accordance with RD-10-104-95 “Temporary Regulations on the Procedure and Conditions for the Modernization of Elevators”, approved by the State Technical Supervision Authority of Russia on November 29, 1995.
In order to improve the operational and aesthetic performance of the elevator at the request of the owner organization.
An examination of an elevator that is out of order due to fire, vandalism or other force majeure circumstances, in order to determine the possibility of its repair, modernization or replacement, is carried out by a commission formed in these cases by the organization that owns the elevator.
Emergency maintenance - carrying out work to free passengers from stopped elevators and putting stopped elevators into operation, including on weekends and holidays. Emergency maintenance work is carried out within a time interval agreed with the organization that owns the elevator, and the time for releasing a passenger should not exceed 30 minutes.
In order to organize a replacement of the elevator, it is necessary to provide the Housing Office with the signatures of all residents and proof of the elevator malfunction. This could be photographs, information from victims of elevator malfunctions, reviews of witnesses, etc.

Nuances
If the organization servicing a multi-storey building agrees to modernize the entrance, then the owners should carefully draw up a list of all necessary measures that will be displayed in the defect sheet. The housing and communal association will carry out only the amount of repair work indicated in the statement. Therefore, before signing it, the authorized person should carefully study all the points. It is advisable to include in the document all necessary work (replacement of broken glass, worn-out mailboxes, faulty lamps, railings, etc.). It should be taken into account that the executing party will not fulfill the items not provided for in the statement. All actions will have to be initiated anew (send an application, wait for a response, draw up a statement, etc.).
