Which houses can be demolished
The reason for recognizing the house as an emergency and its further demolition is its critical or complete deterioration. You can initiate the start of the procedure either independently or at a general meeting of the residents of the house. It is at the meeting that the issue of sending an application to the interdepartmental commission and conducting an examination of the building is resolved, says Alexander Rayevsky.
At the first stage, a design and survey organization can give a conclusion about the accident rate of the house, whose employees will check the structures of the house. On average, such an examination costs from 50 thousand rubles. The company must be in the register of self-regulatory organizations (SRO) in the field of architectural and construction design. The company must attach to the conclusion an extract from the SRO register, which will confirm the authority to do house surveys, adds Tatyana Napolskikh.
After that, the necessary set of documents is collected:
- an application (from a specific owner or a general meeting) for an examination and recognition of the house as an emergency;
- copies of title documents;
- a power of attorney from the tenants, if a representative of the owners submits an application for all of them;
- the expert opinion of a specialized organization that conducted a survey of the house.
There are several ways to send a package of documents to the local administration:
- personally;
- by registered mail with delivery notification;
- through the portal “Public Services”;
- through the multifunctional center (MFC).
