Have You Rebuilt The Bathroom? No More Trips Abroad

A resident of Arbat received a ban from the Federal Bailiff Service from leaving the country after complaints from neighbors about illegal redevelopment. How often is such an interim measure imposed and does anything change in practice in terms of control over redevelopment?

According to media reports, a resident of house No. 15 in 1st Smolensky Lane combined a toilet and a bathroom, built a marble Jacuzzi, demolished the partitions in the rooms, redid the floor. It was noticed by the vigilant neighbors. Inspectors could not get to the violator’s home for a long time, notifications were ignored. The hostess was persuaded to open the door by the Presnensky court and the FSSP. She was restricted from traveling abroad. It was not possible to find out any details of this story in the Presnensky court of Business FM.

The ban on traveling abroad in relation to those who illegally made redevelopment has been applied since 2012. Business FM told similar stories. The measure is resorted to if, within six months after the trial, the owner has not fulfilled the order of the housing supervision authorities, continues lawyer Sergey Yemelyanov:

Sergey Yemelyanov lawyer “May be initiated by those persons who, for example, as in this situation, filed a complaint that an illegal redevelopment was committed. They can apply to the bailiff with a request to apply this measure, since the debtor does not comply with the court’s decision. This is a measure of stimulation, an interim measure, as a rule, bailiffs apply it to the summer season. After six months, this measure is lifted automatically, and the bailiff, if he wants to extend this case, he must make a new resolution.”

Since April 1, the rules for apartment redevelopment have been tightened in Russia once again. The definitions of what exactly refers to redevelopment have been clarified. In short, almost all changes need to be recorded in the BTI documents. Without approval, you can not move the door, even if the wall is not load-bearing, you can not put up partitions and even disassemble the old built-in closet in the corridor of Stalinka or Khrushchev. But in practice, nothing changes. According to experts, housing supervision authorities in Moscow are not active in detecting such violations. The control is quite formal. So this is a rare case, brought to an end. Apparently, the landlady of the apartment in Smolensky Lane created a lot of inconvenience to the neighbors, says Konstantin Krokhin, chairman of the Housing Union of Moscow:

Konstantin Krokhin, Chairman of the Housing Union of Moscow, “We have a similar case in the Southwestern District, where the overlap between the first and second floors is broken. The owner of non-residential premises bought apartments located above in a 23-storey tower of a high-rise building, set up a medical clinic. At the same time, he demolished the load-bearing walls, insulated the balconies, that is, he violated everything that could be violated in the bathrooms there. But for 10 years, the housing inspectorate did not pay attention to these complaints, only with persistent appeals from citizens through the court was access obtained. After gaining access, the owner did not eliminate these violations. Subsequently, he simply sold the apartments. At the same time, documents were submitted to the court that the redevelopment was allegedly eliminated, and the housing inspectorate was satisfied with this. In most cases, such violations are either not detected, and even if they were identified and orders were issued, due to corrupt ties with housing supervision authorities, such violations are not eliminated, just everyone pretends by fictitious certificates that everything is allegedly eliminated, then it is reissued to another owner, who is no longer subject to restrictions on previously adopted judicial decisions.”

In the worst case, if the owner of the rebuilt premises stubbornly does not eliminate the identified violations, local governments have the right to put her premises up for auction.
