According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, in order to convert a premises into residential, the owner of the property must first draw up a technical report on the suitability of the premises for habitation. This document, together with calculations for insolation, heating, ventilation, etc. The condition of the load-bearing structures of the room in which changes are planned is considered.
A technical report on the condition of load-bearing structures is drawn up by a design organization, which is often the author of the building design. In situations where, during the redevelopment of a former non-residential premises, demolition of load-bearing walls is not planned, the design and technical documentation can be carried out by any other organization that has SRO approval.
Repair and construction work is possible after receiving official notification of the transfer of premises from non-residential to residential. This is preceded by stages of approvals in which authorized authorities are involved.
Commission Regulations
The provision was supplemented by paragraph 7 (1), according to which a residential premises or apartment building can be considered unsafe and subject to reconstruction or demolition even if 5 years have not passed from the date of issue of permission to put the apartment building into operation . During these five years allocated by law, the executive body of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation can create a special commission that will assess the condition of the house.
The Commission meets in accordance with clause 7 of the Regulations and consists of representatives:
- the executive body that organizes this commission;
- municipal housing control;
- state control and supervision in the areas of sanitary-epidemiological, fire, industrial, environmental safety;
- consumer protection.
If necessary, employees of architecture and urban planning authorities and experts who have the right to prepare expert opinions are involved.
The owner of a residential premises may participate in the commission with the right of an advisory vote. At the same time, he must be notified in a timely manner about the time and place of the commission meeting.
It happens that one of the commission members turns out to be:
- the person who issued the permit for the construction of an apartment building or for the commissioning of this apartment building;
- representative of state control bodies;
- an official from local government bodies;
- a certified expert who participated in the preparation of documents necessary for issuing permits for the construction of an apartment building or for putting an apartment building into operation.
In such cases, the executive body of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation creates another commission, which does not include the listed persons.
Changes have been made to clause 8 of the Regulations. Previously, the local government could independently decide on the suitability of private residential premises for habitation and send commissions to evaluate these premises. Now this is possible only if there is an application from the owner and the conclusion of the relevant commission.

From 01/01/2017, relations arising in connection with the implementation on the territory of the Russian Federation of state registration of rights to real estate and transactions with it, subject to state registration in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, state cadastral registration of real estate, subject to such registration in accordance with this Federal Law, as well as the maintenance of the Unified State Register of Real Estate and the provision of information provided for by this Federal Law contained in the Unified State Register of Real Estate is regulated by the Federal Law of July 13, 2015 No. 218-FZ “On State Registration of Real Estate” (hereinafter referred to as the Law on Real Estate Registration).
In accordance with Art. 8 of the Law on Real Estate Registration, the main information that is subject to inclusion in the real estate cadastre in relation to the property is the type of residential premises in accordance with housing legislation.
Thus, by virtue of Article 16 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, residential premises include: a residential building, part of a residential building; apartment, part of an apartment; room.
A residential building is recognized as an individually defined building, which consists of rooms, as well as premises for auxiliary use, intended to satisfy citizens' household and other needs related to their residence in such a building.
An apartment is recognized as a structurally separate room in an apartment building, providing direct access to the common areas in such a house and consisting of one or more rooms, as well as auxiliary premises intended to satisfy citizens' household and other needs related to their residence in such a separate apartment. indoors.
A room is recognized as a part of a residential building or apartment intended for use as a place of direct residence of citizens in a residential building or apartment.
At the same time, in accordance with the provisions of the Government of the Russian Federation of January 28, 2006 No. 47 “On approval of the Regulations on the recognition of premises as residential premises, residential premises unsuitable for habitation and an apartment building as unsafe and subject to demolition or reconstruction,” an apartment building is recognized as a set of two or more apartments having independent exits either to a plot of land adjacent to a residential building or to common areas in such a building.
If the registration authority receives an application for cadastral registration in connection with a change in the type of residential premises in accordance with the Law on Registration of Rights, the applicant submits a technical plan.
In 90% of cases, the basis for preparing a technical plan in connection with a change in the type of residential premises is a court decision.
As in 2021, in the first half of 2021, demands were filed in the courts of the Omsk region for:
— recognition of apartments as parts of a residential building;
— recognition of a residential premises as an apartment;
— recognition of apartments as individual residential buildings.
- The greatest interest from the point of view of law enforcement practice is caused by judicial demands for recognition of residential premises as an apartment.
Requirements of current legislation, incl. The above standards stipulate that this type of residential premises such as an apartment can be located exclusively in an apartment building. The requirement to recognize residential premises as apartments is currently relevant for citizens who own so-called “houses for two owners”, for which shared ownership rights are registered.
Thus, when considering claims to recognize residential premises in an individual residential building as apartments, the court, as a rule, orders a forensic examination of the case, within the framework of which the expert resolves questions about the possibility of dividing the house into premises, whether these premises meet the requirements of the Civil and Housing Codes, sanitary and epidemiological rules and regulations of the Russian Federation, whether the use of premises as apartments poses a threat to the life and health of citizens.
Additionally, in the operative part of the court decision, in addition to recognizing the residential premises in the house as apartments, the individual residential building itself must be recognized as an apartment building.
- Recognition of apartments as individual residential buildings is relevant for citizens living in single-apartment buildings and who, upon exercising the right to privatize residential premises, received ownership of the apartment.
This category of cases with the participation of the Branch is most often considered in the Maryanovsky District Court of the Omsk Region. The operative part of the court decision, in addition to recognizing the ownership of an individual residential building, indicates the need to remove the apartment from the state cadastral register.
- In the case of filing claims in court to recognize apartments as parts of a residential building, in the opinion of the Branch, applicants must take into account the following.
State cadastral registration of real estate by virtue of Art. 1 of the Law on Real Estate Registration is carried out in relation to land plots, buildings, structures, premises, parking spaces, objects of unfinished construction, unified real estate complexes, and in cases established by federal law, and other objects that are firmly connected to the land, that is, the movement of which without disproportionate damage to their purpose is impossible.
In this case, information about part of the real estate object is entered into the register of real estate objects only in connection with the established (established) restriction of rights, encumbrance of the real estate object (Article 14 of the Registration Law).
In addition, it is necessary to take into account that by decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated 05/09/2015 No. 13-KG15-2, judicial acts of the courts of the Tambov region on recognizing the apartment as part of the house were canceled. The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation indicated the inadmissibility of violating the provisions of the above Art. 16 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated January 28, 2006 No. 47, as well as the provisions of Art. 36 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, which regulates the classification of objects as property of the owners of premises in an apartment building.
The Branch also pointed out these restrictions in a 2016 press release based on Federal Law No. 221-FZ of July 24, 2007 “On Cadastral Activities” (as amended before January 1, 2017).
