A sample of the statement in the jack to replace the risers. How to achieve a pipe replacement

Not everyone can boast of a new apartment, in which intra-house systems are in perfect order. In most cases, the housing stock is dilapidated, which means that the issue is on the agenda for many of us.

Today, in multi-apartment and low-rise buildings there are 3 types of risers, which are part of:

• Heating systems;
• Sewage system;
• Water supply system.

Organizational matters

And the question of their belonging is very important when doing repairs. After all, the replacement of risers in an apartment building affects the interests of many, not just the tenants of the apartment, in which they will be dismantled and install new ones.

  For reference: this means that you must coordinate any work with the housing company (housing office) or the management company that services you. They also can see a sample application for replacement of the riser, where you ask to turn off the water supply or drain the heating system.

Legislative

As for the division of responsibilities, in practice:

• Pipes inside the apartment are considered your property;
• Pipes in common areas (staircase, basement, vestibule) are considered to be collective property.

Nevertheless, it is not defined by law where exactly the boundary of responsibility passes:

• Inside the wall in which a pipe is laid or a riser passes (correspondingly, as a replacement of the hot water standpipe – a controversial issue);
• On technical documentation for an apartment or house, etc.

And the replacement of the heating riser in the apartment affects the interests of all your neighbors, although the pipe itself passes through your apartment. Nevertheless, according to st.210 Civil Code of the owner of housing is responsible for common property.

In other words, if you need to replace a worn-out pipe, then it is your initiative that will be the starting point of the repair work. Accordingly, and the problem - who should change the risers in the apartment, also lies in the plane of your relationship with the housing office.

  Tip: if you have the means and communications in need of repair, then the replacement of risers by polypropylene is possible by you personally after agreement with the management company.

Actually

In practice, you do not only need to know how to write a statement to replace the riser, but also to involve in the process of full-time plumbing, which has access to equipment:

• Latches;
• Gates;
• Pumping station (if any).

Since the communications laid in your apartment are your property, the matter of choosing materials and contractors is exclusively your competence. If you have to replace the risers - HOA does not have the right to impose their services.

  For reference: there are a number of technical works that do not need permission at all. For example, the replacement of the crane on the riser is entirely at your discretion, provided that during the technical operation the water supply is stopped.

Heating system

Since repair work - it is always unprofitable, many of us tend to reduce the cost of them due to:

• Purchasing materials at low prices;
• Refusal of welding works in favor of modern technologies;
• Organization of part of the work by own strength.

Warning:   replacement of heating risers in an apartment does not apply to similar cases. Moreover, it is legally forbidden to change the situation or carry pipes. It is better to entrust such work to specialists with housing offices.

There is also a planned replacement of the risers of the heating system. But as practice shows, residents do not wait, but show initiative at the first signs:

• Deterioration of work;
• Leakages or fistulas;
• The appearance of rust, etc.

In general, the replacement of the heating risers is carried out in the off-season, which begins in late May and lasts until mid-September. At that time:

• the inter house system is disconnected from the city network by means of valves;
• it is filled with industrial water;
• before starting work it must be drained;
• the replacement of the riser should not modify the overall contour.

  Reference: popular in recent years, the addition of balconies necessarily affects the issue of the heating system. It is forbidden to transfer heating radiators to the balcony legally.

Sewerage system

When it comes to faulty sewage, the issue of delineation of responsibility is quickly resolved, because:

• tenants of flowing sewage do not want to wait for work planned for the coming years;
• unpleasant smells and problems in her work prompt to speed up the solution of the problem.

In your apartment you can replace the sewer yourself. And how to do it and avoid mistakes you can read in our articles on repair.

  For reference: a quick replacement of the standoffs of the disposal is always in the interests of the tenants.

Conclusions: if the replacement of the risers for a long time does not take place for your circulation in the HOA, then take the initiative into your own hands. This will be much cheaper than eliminating the accident. And most importantly, it will save not only your means, but also the nervous system, and personal things.

How to write this statement correctly? It is written in free form. First of all, you need to describe the situation that has developed in your apartment. Be sure to include the name of the head of the JECA at the top of the application. We recommend that you mention the fact that you regularly pay utility bills, and that the Housing Office, in turn, must provide you with repair services on time. At the end of the application, write about a specific request, the implementation of which you want to achieve.

The application for the replacement of the sewer riser sample can be obtained in any branch of the housing office.

We also recommend that you take into account the fact that this statement must be made in two copies. Both documents you submit to the housing office, one remains with you, and the second employee of the housing office puts a note that the application was received.

The application for replacing the riser pipe sample looks like this:

• In the upper right corner you write: "The director of the housing office Petrov FS, from Ivanov OV, Moscow, ul. Sovetskaya, d.XX, apt.
• Next, make a small indent down and write in the center "Statement".
• Beginning with the paragraph, describe the problem in approximately the following words: "In my apartment, which is located at XX, in emergency condition there is an output to the apartment from a standpipe of cold water, which is located in an apartment or in a neighboring apartment. There is a threat of flooding. I ask you to understand the situation and order to replace the riser. "
• Then the date and signature below.

In practice, in addition to the fact that you need knowledge about the correct writing of the application, you still need to independently involve in the repair process a full-time employee of the housing office (plumbing), who has access to valves, valves and a pumping station.

Also, an inspection report of the sewer riser must be issued, which will indicate that some part of the device or the whole installation needs repair in order to prevent an emergency situation. Such an act can be made by calling a plumber from ZHEKA home.

Also, if necessary, it indicates in which apartments the bay occurred, and the reasons are explained, the affected property is described. It is necessary to do this in order to determine who is to blame for the leakage of the sewer pipe connection. If the device is rotten, the communal workers are to blame, since they did not keep track of the wear of the structure. If mechanical damage was caused or the device was replaced independently, then the owners are to blame.

Replace the pipes is a difficult task. Let's understand. Engineering communications that serve more than one room in an apartment building are common property. These include, in particular, the risers of hot and cold water supply and sewerage. According to the Rules for the maintenance of common property in an apartment building (approved by the RF Government Decision No. 491 of August 13, 2006), the owners have the right to independently carry out actions to maintain and repair common property (except for) or to attract other persons with this in view of the chosen way of managing the apartment building.

One of the readers asked us to help understand the following problem: a 40-apartment house serviced by a management company, the riser of a kitchen sewer needs replacement because it constantly clogs. In this regard, ten residents of "suffering" apartments regularly apply for sewage cleaning. "I want to replace this pipe and get rid of problems in the next few years. How to make a request for a replacement pipe? I am sure that the Criminal Code has no desire to do this work on its own initiative. Do you need a meeting of homeowners or subscription lists? What sequence of actions will be correct and effective? ".

So, in this case, the management is carried out by the managing organization. According to Part 2.3 of Article 161 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, with this method of managing an apartment building, the management organization is liable to the owners for rendering all services and (or) performing works that ensure proper maintenance of the common property. Therefore, the replacement of risers and the cleaning of the sewage system is the responsibility of the management company. Do you need a decision of the general meeting to make it work?

Article 44 of the Housing Code establishes that the competence of the general meeting of owners of premises in an apartment building includes, among other things, the adoption of a decision on capital repairs of the common property. As we have already mentioned, the replacement of risers refers to selective overhaul, that is, repair with complete or partial replacement of individual structural elements of buildings and structures or equipment.

Thus, replacement of risers is within the competence of the general meeting. The decision for the management company is mandatory. She has no right to appeal against him even in court, as housing legislation leaves this right only to the owners.

Nevertheless, the owners' meeting is the supreme governing body of the house and should solve only the most important issues. In the case under consideration, residents of ten apartments are only interested in replacing sewer equipment, so the meeting may not pass a quorum.

Is it possible to do without calling a meeting? Oh sure. The collective appeal of tenants is an effective argument in relations with communal organizations. It has several applicants and the same subject. We already told,. In the case of a group application, it is necessary to compile one document in duplicate and attach to it a work sheet with the signatures of the tenants (with the transcripts). The managing organization has no right to ignore it.

In practice, of course, not infrequently. You can get the Criminal Code to work through control and supervisory bodies (the Inspectorate, the Prosecutor's Office and others) or the court.
