Statement
You need to change the name of your management company, name, and contacts to your own in the header of the application. We write in the application the essence of the problem with the interpanel seams, sign it, and set the date. Don't forget to make sure that you put the incoming number, date and signature on receipt on it. Be sure to ask for a copy with these notes. This will not be superfluous, and in case of loss of the application, it will help to achieve the truth.
When making an application for repair of interpanel seams, indicate both the layout of your home and its location. Try to describe and indicate problem areas and the time of defect formation with maximum accuracy. It will also not hurt to draw up a schematic image, since it will be easiest to mark the depressurized seams on it. After you write your application, make sure it answers the following questions:
* in what room? Exact location of the problem?
* what are the features of manifestation, their conditions?
* what is the frequency of occurrence of problems with seams?
* when did difficulties appear last time and how long did they last?
* what is the amount of damage?
* what are your requirements for the Management Company?
Remember that the description must be clear and specific. Is that what it is? Then the insulation of interpanel seams should be carried out in the near future.
Don't forget to sign. Without it, the service organization will not accept the document, which means that sealing interpanel seams in panel houses will be impossible.
If you want the management organization to respond to your application as soon as possible, remember a few secrets.
Sample application for sealing seams in a panel house
The secret of COMPETENT writing
We have more than 10 years of experience in successfully working with management organizations, and therefore our recommendations are truly valuable. There are two facts that should not be forgotten by those who are interested in sealing interpanel seams in panel houses.
So. The first fact is that the declarative principle is key for organizations in the housing and communal services sector. Simply put, if you need something from such companies, then you must indicate your requirements in writing.
The second fact is that service companies generally choose the following operating principle: “no problem, since there are no complaints.” And this suggests that employees of management companies NEED your complaints - only with the help of statements can you get the desired results.
How to make a management company work efficiently?
Since May 1, 2015, management companies have received licenses to manage apartment buildings. After this date, business activities related to the management of apartment buildings are prohibited without a license.
Obtaining a license is not required for homeowners' associations, housing cooperatives or other specialized consumer cooperatives.
Owners of premises can veto decisions of the state housing supervision body to deprive the management organization of the right to carry out activities to manage this apartment building. In the event of such a decision by the owners, the management company retains the right to manage such an apartment building.
You can find out which company is behind the maintenance of your home and whether it is included in the register if you follow the My manager link, select your region and enter the address of your home.
The license of a management company may be revoked in the following cases:
- For violation of the rules for carrying out entrepreneurial activities in the management of apartment buildings (Article 7.23.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).
- For carrying out entrepreneurial activities in the management of apartment buildings without a license (Article 14.1.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).
- For violation by the licensing commission of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation of the requirements of the legislation on licensing business activities for the management of apartment buildings (Article 19.6.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).
If you believe that your rights and legitimate interests have been violated by adopted acts or decisions of state authorities, local government bodies, or officials, you, in accordance with the Federal Law of January 17, 1992 No. 2202-1 “On the Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation,” have the right to apply to the prosecutor's office at your place of residence with a statement, complaint and other appeal containing information about violation of laws, or to go to court with a complaint against the actions, decisions of authorities or officials who, in your opinion, violated your rights and freedoms on the basis of the Law of the Russian Federation dated 04/27/1993 No. 4866-1 “On appealing to court actions and decisions that violate the rights and freedoms of citizens”, as well as Chapter 25 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation.

RECOMMENDATION 2. Do not refuse to describe the building, the location of the housing, and the layout of the premises.
This information saves specialists time.
The location of the object on the building diagram is indicated by answers to the following questions:
* on which side are the apartment windows?
* how are the rooms located?
* what is the object on the landing?
* what floor and entrance of the apartment?
* total number of floors and total number of entrances in the building?
Not all specialists know about standard series of houses from memory. In the absence of relevant information, the technical passport of the building helps to clarify it. However, obtaining a document is not easy, its cost is quite high and it is usually kept under lock and key in the main office. Official permission is required to gain access. If the organization is large, then it may take up to 5-7 days to receive a passport. Provide information in the application and you will make it easier for the professionals.
If you are not confident that you can determine the cardinal direction as accurately as possible, taking into account the exact location of the building, refuse the description such as “south-facing wall”, etc. Use terms like: “the end of the building at the fourth entrance”, “from the inside of the yard”, etc. Street orientation can also help, for example, “the wall faces Lunacharsky Avenue.”
Often difficulties await when defining concepts - nursery, bedroom, living room. In the technical passport of the building, the premises are designated differently; there is only an indication of the area. And it is quite difficult to guess where the kitchen is and where the bedroom is, given the same area of the premises. Use landmarks such as a loggia/balcony, for example a bedroom with a balcony.
The interpanel seams are leaking. Where can I complain?
Question: Our house requires urgent repairs to the seams on the facade. The management company does not show any initiative to seal the joint. Meanwhile, there is a draft in our apartments, the walls are leaking. Is the management company obliged to seal the external seams in a panel house?
Answer: Often housing and communal services, housing office and various house managements try to shed responsibility for repairing interpanel seams. Therefore, it is necessary to demand that the seams be redone collectively; the application must be correctly sent from several apartments in the building.
RECOMMENDATION 3. Features of drawing up a schematic drawing of the layout.
Your application must contain drawings. No one expects you to have perfect proportions/sizes. You must indicate the location of the premises schematically. Hence the name of the drawing, otherwise it would be called a drawing. You should provide visual reinforcement of what we have outlined in RECOMMENDATION 1. This will avoid mistakes in marking the location of rooms. In addition, in the drawing you can indicate all the problem areas.
Correctly filling out an application to the Criminal Code
Question: How to apply for seam repair? How to correctly write an application for sealing the seams of panel joints?
Answer: First you need to prove the importance of the repair. This will require research from management specialists.
After examining the condition of the apartment, checking the interpanel seams, and measuring the temperature, you will need to receive a conclusion on the condition of the joints. Now it is important to correctly fill out your application and document your request for seam repair. We take the application to the management office and register it. During the heating season, we are waiting for a specialist who assesses the level of freezing of the seams and draws up a report. Your living space is put on the waiting list for repairs. Application forms can be found at the house management company. For the supervisory authority, be sure to write your full name and address. We briefly describe the essence of the problem, write down a request for an inspection and punishment for the perpetrators. We mark the date of application submission for registration.
The description should give the following answers:
* location of the problem area. In this case, indicate the exact location relative to the windows, for example, below or above it, at the top or to the right of the window. Don’t forget to specify where you are looking from, for example, “from the street.”
* time of manifestation of the problem. “Cold season”, “during slanting rain”, “in any rain”, and so on;
* features of manifestation. “Mold forms,” “drafts move,” “runs along the walls,” etc.;
*beginning of appearance. Indicate the area where the problem occurs, this is necessary in order to determine its cause. For example, “mold forms from the bottom corner of the room”, “it runs towards the window from the corner when it rains” and so on;
* time of last occurrence of the problem. “Heavy rain in April 2018”, “last year when the heating was turned off”, etc.;
* size and characteristics of the damage caused. “In the corners of the room the paint and plaster had peeled off from the ceiling,” “linoleum was swollen under the windows,” “stains of mold covered the entire wall”;
* availability of nearby furniture. Indicate which interior items are located next to or adjacent to the defective area.
Inspection report for interpanel seams sample 2021
The institute will then send its engineer to you to check your load-bearing wall. However, to conduct an inspection of the interpanel joint, it is necessary to carry out preparatory work by opening it.
This opening is performed with a chisel, hammer, or sometimes a hammer drill. In reality, the opening looks like creating a small hole in the base of the wall and removing the floor screed underneath it. The hole is created where the future doorway will be located.
It may also be necessary to open the place where the wall begins - to check the existence of a bevel in the line of the interpanel joint. The engineer comes out to inspect the interpanel joint. The engineer will come to your apartment at a pre-agreed time.
His task is to analyze your wall and its position relative to the lower and upper panels of the apartment. Consequently, it will be necessary to examine the walls and ceilings of apartments from below and above, that is, to go into neighboring apartments.
RECOMMENDATION 7. We indicate the requirements.
Don't give up on being serious on paper. You must write your appeal in such a way that employees understand that you are the person who can ask for help from higher supervisory authorities. However, you decided to hold off on this for now. Avoid “attacks” and outright threats.
And don't forget to indicate that you are expecting a response and results.
Follow these recommendations and you will achieve success. You can learn about the rules for submitting and completing an application, as well as monitoring its implementation, from our other article.

What to do if the management company does not respond to the application?
There are often cases when claims from owners regarding roof leaks, heating or replacement of risers are left without proper consideration or are refused to be accepted at all. If a complaint is not registered with the Criminal Code, it can be sent by registered mail with notification. Such a letter must be accompanied by an inventory. When sent in this way, the management company will no longer be able to prove that they did not receive the request.
Applicants will have as evidence notification of receipt by the addressee of the item. In addition, all registered mail is tracked using a special code. This can also be attached as evidence.
A situation may arise that the management company accepted the appeal and registered it, but there was no response to the citizens’ statements. Or she could write that at the moment there are no funds to resolve this issue.
Important! Such answers cannot be ignored. A complaint about the inaction of the management company must be filed with higher organizations.
Each owner must remember that an agreement has been concluded between him and the Management Company. All obligations under it must be strictly observed. If the Criminal Code violates at least one point, regardless of whether it concerns the recalculation of payments for housing and communal services or repairs, it is necessary to protect your rights.
This can only be done by sending complaints both to the management company itself and to the bodies that control its activities. It is important to follow the order and write the claim correctly.
