It is necessary to prepare a project and obtain approval for redevelopment of the building if you do not want to receive a fine and lose not only money, but also time. In accordance with the definition given by law, redevelopment is a change in the configuration of a premises while maintaining its functional characteristics (residential or non-residential), requiring amendments to the registration certificate of the premises and obtaining the appropriate permit from the authorized bodies (Article 25 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).

Engineers of the City Cadastral Bureau will take upon themselves the resolution of all issues with regulatory authorities in Moscow or the Moscow region. We will provide detailed advice, draw up a redevelopment project at a low cost and help you agree on the document taking into account the requirements of current laws.

What the Law Says

Issues regarding the reconstruction of residential property are fully covered in Articles 25 and 26 of the current Housing Code of the Russian Federation. This regulatory act introduces all the concepts, and also determines the current amount of penalties in the event of violations during the work process.

Article 25. Types of reconstruction and redevelopment of residential premises

Article 26. Grounds for reconstruction and (or) redevelopment of residential premises

Also, all citizens interested in redevelopment can familiarize themselves with the applicable procedure for obtaining documentary permission to begin relevant specialized activities.

Any major capital changes require operations with load-bearing elements and room area, which, in turn, requires prior approval and permission from the interdepartmental commission at the architectural department of the municipality.

The consequences of buying an apartment with illegal redevelopment may not overtake the owner if the BTI does not find out about the illegal work.

Article 25 of the RF Housing Code defines the concept of redevelopment as changes that must be necessarily reflected in the technical passport of the premises. All work must be previously agreed upon with authorized representatives of the housing inspection. Otherwise, an administrative fine will be imposed on the owner of the apartment, the amount of which is determined by Article 7.21 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

Article 7.21. Violation of the rules for the use of residential premises

Mandatory approval of the following work is required:

• affecting the supporting structures of the entire building;

• installation of new floors;
• moving a bathroom or gasified equipment to another room;
• transition to an autonomous heating system;
• combination of two residential apartments.

The following list of activities will not be agreed upon under any circumstances due to the fact that it is prohibited by current legislation:

• complete dismantling of load-bearing elements;
• reducing the living room area by 25% to increase the bathroom or kitchen;
• moving the toilet into the room if the neighbors’ living quarters are located underneath it;
• movement of ventilation channels;
• combining the kitchen with the room if gasified equipment is installed in it;
• increasing the balcony due to the area of ​​the living room;

In cases where the transactions could not be legalized on time, a fine will be imposed on the owner. Without legalization, the sale of the apartment or its privatization cannot be carried out in the future.

How to agree on redevelopment step by step

Coordination of the redevelopment of premises (despite the fact that in almost every case it is a lengthy and labor-intensive procedure) generally consists of typical sequential actions:

• consultations with specialists to assess the complexity of the upcoming work and the need for approval;
• if you come to the conclusion that it is necessary to obtain permission, you need to order a technical passport from the BTI, which will reflect all the proposed changes, as well as a floor plan with an explanation before the redevelopment;
• approval of the redevelopment of premises (depending on the type) is possible according to a sketch or project prepared by the organization that designed the building or has SRO approval;
• all collected documentation, as well as an application in the prescribed form, are submitted to the State Housing Inspectorate or Administration;
• when positive permission for redevelopment and repair work is received, the facility must be inspected by the acceptance committee in order to sign the Certificate of Completed Redevelopment and (or) Redevelopment of the Premises;
• preparation of a technical passport in black lines - confirmation that the approval of the redevelopment of premises has been carried out in accordance with the current regulations;
• drawing up a technical plan, submitting it to the Cadastral Chamber to take into account changes in the premises and issue a new certificate of state registration of rights.

We have presented only the main stages of preparation and approval of the redevelopment project, formulating their content for the average person. Trained professionals, as well as those who have attempted approval on their own, know how lengthy and difficult this procedure can be. Therefore, in order not to waste time, if necessary, you should immediately contact specialists.

The City Cadastral Bureau in Moscow is an organization in which this direction is one of the main ones.

Effective and successful activities are facilitated by:

• affordable price for redevelopment approval (full payment is possible after the creation and approval of the project);
• experience in solving non-standard situations;
• attentive approach, responsibility for each completed stage;
• strict adherence to legal requirements (the redevelopment carried out will not cause problems in the future in the event of an inspection).

Our specialists also carry out cadastral work and land surveying.

Features of redevelopment of premises in Moscow

Moscow has already received the unspoken definition of a “state within a state”, since it has its own legislative regulations in almost all areas of life and activity. Redevelopment of buildings is no exception. Work to change the configuration and purpose that the owners of the premises wish to carry out requires approval. The cost of a redevelopment project depends on the complexity of the work to be done.

Standard design solutions, which are implemented in many residential and non-residential buildings in the capital (especially the Soviet period), do not suit many owners. Therefore, it is not surprising that today our Bureau receives many orders to coordinate redevelopment actions. In the capital, redevelopment and redevelopment procedures are regulated, in particular, by Moscow Government Decree No. 508-PP dated October 25, 2011 “On the organization of redevelopment and (or) redevelopment of residential and non-residential premises in apartment buildings” and Moscow Government Decree dated August 27, 2012. N 432-PP “On the types, parameters and characteristics of territory improvement facilities, the placement of which does not require obtaining a construction permit, and types of work to change capital construction projects and (or) their parts that do not affect the structural and other characteristics of their reliability and safety that do not violate the rights of third parties and do not exceed the maximum parameters of permitted construction and reconstruction established by the urban planning plans of the relevant land plots, the implementation of which does not require obtaining a construction permit.”

Taking into account the current legislative realities, points were formulated according to which redevelopment can be approved more simply and quickly. But, as practice has shown, this did not relieve the bulk of the problems of owners of premises in buildings. Registration of a mandatory package of documents for further registration today remains a labor-intensive procedure, shortcomings and errors in which can ultimately result in serious problems, time and financial losses. Therefore, all changes to the existing layout and to the existing information of the State Property Committee and the Unified State Register must be made strictly in accordance with the law. Reliable assistants and guarantors of compliance with all points of regulatory legal acts are the specialists of the City Cadastral Bureau.

IMPORTANT! Proper and timely execution of documents allows all repair work to be completed in a short time, observing the regulations established by the state. If the legal requirements are ignored by the owners, then any operations involving the alienation of property (donation, purchase and sale, etc.), as well as insurance, will be difficult or even become impossible.

Non-residential premises

The procedure for approving the redevelopment of non-residential premises (offices, retail and industrial facilities) has a more complex procedure compared to the legalization of redevelopment work in residential buildings and apartments. The reason for this is the imposition of higher requirements for fire, technical and construction safety of premises with high throughput and large crowds of people.

The need to attract specialized companies to coordinate redevelopment of non-residential premises is an independent choice of each owner. However, it should be noted that in order to achieve a positive result in the redevelopment process of non-residential buildings, it is necessary to have in-depth knowledge of urban planning, sanitary, fire safety, and architectural standards.

In addition, it is necessary to navigate the intricacies of the process of obtaining permits from government authorities, and have extensive experience in communicating with municipal structures and their bureaucrats.

Thus, to save your own time, money and effort, it is best to use the services of qualified persons.

This is prescribed by laws at the federal and local levels (Civil, Urban Planning, Housing Codes, Government Decrees and regional regulations).

Reviews from clients of the Bureau

Andrey

Recently I needed a service for coordinating the redevelopment of premises. I immediately realized that I simply needed the help of professionals, since this process was extremely dreary. The stages of consultation and preparation before starting the work itself are very tedious and take a lot of time. And people who are well versed in the legislation of our country are much more competent than me.

Nikolay Vasilievich

I can say that I liked the work of the city bureau. During the process of registering the redevelopment of premises, it immediately became clear that the specialists were qualified. I was also pleasantly surprised by the cost of the services.

Results of approval of the redevelopment project

Once official permission for redevelopment has been received, repair work can begin. Their result must correspond to the project drawn up by the architect of the organization with the appropriate clearance.

Coordinating the redevelopment of premises is not a simple bureaucratic formality. Having the entire package of necessary documents in hand, you will be confident that changing the architectural appearance of the apartment will not lead to irreversible consequences for the load-bearing structures, cracks in the walls or other problems.

Procedure

To begin the process of legalizing the redevelopment, you need to figure out what exactly you want to change in the apartment.

To understand what can be changed in your case and what is better left in place, it is better to contact a design organization that will help you draw up a project.

The implementation of the project is possible only on the basis of a technical report on the condition of the house, which is drawn up exclusively for your apartment.

The next stage is contacting the BTI to obtain a floor plan of the house.

After receiving the finished project with it and a package of documents, you must contact the appropriate authorities who will check:

• the correctness of the repair work performed;
• their compliance with norms and standards.

After submitting the documents, you will receive a receipt indicating the date the documents were accepted.

Who issues the permit? The final stage is to receive a decision from the Housing Inspectorate.

After this, you can go to the Housing Office and apply for permission to carry out the redevelopment.
