A new program for the renovation of dilapidated housing in Moscow today is not discussed except for the lazy. Moreover, this topic is of great concern even to those Muscovites who are not threatened with resettlement. Not so long ago, the excitement around houses doomed "to be slaughtered" gained new strength. As it turned out, in addition to five-story buildings, it is also planned to demolish nine-story buildings in Moscow. People's attitude to the capital's housing renovation program is far from ambiguous. Many regard it as a great opportunity to improve their living conditions, and some see it as a lot of dirty tricks.
Previous Home Renovation Program
The solution to the issue of updating the housing stock of Moscow began in 1995. The program was originally designed until 2010, but due to the periodic suspension of work on the dismantling of old houses, the deadlines for its completion were repeatedly postponed. As part of the previous renovation program, the demolition of nine-story buildings in Moscow was not planned, since at that time almost all of them were in a satisfactory operational condition.
Onlyin 2011, the pace of dismantling the old five-story buildings increased markedly, and by 2015 the authorities of the capital reported on the implementation of the planned work by 90%. By the way, in addition to the Khrushchev buildings, the demolition of dilapidated nine-story buildings in Moscow was carried out. By the end of 2016, out of 1,722 houses that were supposed to be liquidated under the first stage of the program, only 128 remained to be demolished. By the beginning of 2018, the remaining dilapidated and dilapidated housing will be completely dismantled. Thus, the demolition of nine-story buildings in Moscow in 2017 is the final stage of the previous renovation program.
New renovation program for the capital's housing stock
Over the past years, of course, a huge amount of work has been done, but even now there are many old residential buildings in Moscow, the service life of which has already expired or is coming to an end. First of all, this applies to houses of unbearable series, which were built another 100, or even 150 years ago. Such buildings do not meet modern requirements for comfortable living conditions for citizens, plus, many of them are in disrepair. At the same time, for the same reason, the demolition of nine-story buildings in Moscow is planned from 2015 to 2020. The list includes houses that are in a dilapidated state, the repair of which is not economically feasible.
The new plan provides for the demolition of all old residential buildings in the capital and the construction of new modern and comfortable housing in their place. According to preliminary estimates, in general, the renovation program will coverapproximately 8,000 houses, the total area of which exceeds 25 million square meters. meters, and more than 1.6 million people live in them.
Which nine-storey buildings are subject to demolition in Moscow
According to the developed plan for the dismantling of old panel and block houses, there is a possibility of liquidation of not only five-story housing, but also nine-story buildings. However, the new renovation program takes into account the mistakes of previous years, when a large number of 9- and even 12-story skyscrapers were demolished, although they were still in a normal residential condition.
The schedule for the demolition of nine-story buildings in Moscow is calculated for the next decade, during which no more than two hundred thousand square meters will be liquidated. meters of houses of this type. The authorities of the capital draw attention to the fact that the dismantling of residential buildings with a height of 9 floors is possible only in two cases: firstly, if they are located in the same area with Khrushchev houses or other houses that fall under the renovation program. Secondly, the demolition of nine-story buildings in Moscow can be carried out if they are in an emergency or dilapidated state, and their residents will demand better living conditions. The second option will be considered rather as an exception.
Conditions for the implementation of the renovation plan
The renovation program involves the elimination of houses built in the period from 1957 to 1968, as well as apartment buildings belonging to the first period of industrial housing construction, similar to Khrushchev in terms of design. Besides,partial demolition of nine-story buildings in Moscow is envisaged.
The decision to participate or not to participate in the renovation program should be made by homeowners by voting. An apartment building can only be demolished if at least 2/3 (67%) of the residents vote in favor of this decision. To exit the program, 1/3 (33%) of the total votes plus one vote must be against.
The demolition of nine-story buildings in Moscow will be carried out on a similar principle. The list for 2015-2020 was formed earlier, but, according to the new program, it will be approved after the final decision of the residents of such houses.
Renovation Law
Every owner of an old apartment, regardless of its condition, has a natural question about the possible risks and guarantees when getting a new home. Many citizens are afraid of moving to another area, they are afraid that the area of the new apartment will be less than the previous one or its cost will be lower than the cost of the old one.
The law on housing renovation was adopted in May 2017. The demolition of nine-story buildings in Moscow, located next to five-story buildings that fall into the program, will be carried out according to general rules. Guarantees for program participants are enshrined at the legislative level.
Basic legal guarantees
The law also states that new and old housing must be equal. This means that the number of rooms in the provided apartment will be the same as in the previous one. The total area of the new apartment will increase, and the area of residentialrooms will be similar or larger than the previous one.
In addition, it is assumed that the market value of new housing will be on average 35% higher than the cost of old apartments. Living quarters should also receive an improved finish, but what exactly it will be is not indicated in the current standards.
Geographic reference
Many Muscovites are used to and love the areas in which they live. Plus, the local infrastructure plays a big role: kindergartens, schools, medical institutions, shops, transport interchange, etc. Relocation to another area is a lot of inconvenience associated with changing an educational or medical institution, a route to work, etc..
To make relocation as comfortable and painless as possible, legislation provides for the issuance of new apartments in the same area where the old house was located. And if there are appropriate opportunities, even the quarter will remain the same.
Alternative options
At the legislative level, it is possible to receive not only equivalent housing, but also monetary compensation for an old apartment. The most interesting point is that its payment will be made even before the demolition of the house. If the owner decides to sell his real estate, a mandatory assessment is carried out to determine its current average market value at that time.
This option is suitable for families who want to change an apartment, move to another area or purchase morecheap or expensive housing.
Special benefits will also apply for certain categories of citizens. For example, people who were in the queue for improving their living conditions will receive larger apartments. At the same time, both the total footage and the number of rooms can increase.
In some cases, several apartments are provided for members of the same family. A separate system of benefits has been developed for low-income categories of citizens, as well as for pensioners and single people.
