Pits and cracked asphalt on the courtyard driveways of high-rise buildings are still not uncommon in Russian cities. Where to turn so that the driveways and playgrounds in the courtyards become smooth and safe, explained for aif.ru Viktor Fedoruk is an expert on housing law and housing reform issues.
“The repair of broken asphalt in the courtyard of an apartment building should be carried out by a management company, but on condition that the land plot is included in the common property,” the expert says. — Otherwise, the responsibility for maintaining the driveways and platforms in a normative state lies with the local authorities. You can find out the boundaries of communal property in the cadastral plan.”
At the same time, a slightly different regime of maintenance in the proper form of the house territory operates in the capital. “In Moscow, land plots are not serviced by the management company of an apartment building,” explains Fedoruk. “Here, all issues related to the broken asphalt in the yard should be addressed to local authorities.”
