Immediately after the completion of the construction of a residential facility, it is impossible to settle in it. Between these stages is another step - putting the house into operation. This process may take several months for approval, or even be rejected if certain rules are not followed.
The need for a procedure
To obtain a technical passport for a house and register ownership rights to it, you must enter the house into operation.
Representatives of various authorities are required to issue this act, including:
- fire service;
- gas;
- water canal;
- architectural service;
- sanitary service.
Before putting the house into operation, it is necessary to coordinate the building permit with the same authorities.
Input process
To carry out the commissioning of a house, it is necessary to apply with the appropriate application to the institution that issued the building permit. All necessary supporting documents should be attached to it, after which it is expected to be visited by an interdepartmental commission. The package of documents includes papers to compare the constructed building with the originally approved project.
Before putting the house into operation, if it was built on the basis of the contract, it is required to sign an act of acceptance.
This document should include:
- compliance of the commissioned facility with the approved plan;
- lack of violations in construction;
- lack of customer complaints to the developer.
In any case, the technical passport to the house, which the cadastral engineer must issue, should also be attached to the documents. Also included in the application for commissioning:
- permission to carry out construction work;
- documents of rights to the land plot used under the facility;
- boundary and urban development plans for it;
- Compliance of the commissioned object with the drawn up plan.
After providing all the necessary documents, the authorities are obliged to create a commission to check the facility, and subject to all the rules, the register of commissioned houses will be replenished with another residential building.
Passport Creation
Before putting the house into operation, you must contact the BTI service to draw up a technical passport for the house. This document is the main argument for confirming the existence of a residential building, but it can be difficult to obtain.
Inspectors may refuse to issue a document in the presence of inconsistencies of the finished object with construction standards or in the presence of incomplete work. Of course, with confidence in your own rightness, you can go to court and dispute the negative decision, but it is easier to eliminate all the inspector's comments and call him again to get a passport.
This document contains basic information about the object, including its address, total area, area of each room, number of storeys of the building, its decoration and cost. It can only be done on a fully completed house.
Commissioning Requirements
In order for a residential building to be recognized as ready for use, it is mandatory that it contains:
- doors
- windows;
- rough walls of living rooms.
In addition, it is important to know that the presence in the basement of ceilings above 2.1 meters will automatically determine it as the first floor. This will lead to the need to finish the walls in these rooms, which may affect the budget of the developer and his future plans for the house.In order to save at least a little on paperwork, you can put the house into operation floor by floor. This will allow to use part of the facility for residential purposes, while its other floors will still be completed. Before you put the house into operation in this way, you should know that to complete the documents for the subsequent parts of the building, you will need to carry out all the procedures from the very beginning.
New building
Until 2004, the multi-apartment buildings that were built had to be inspected by many different government officials. Specialists in construction and architecture usually appeared first at the facility, and only after their approval did the “baton” of the inspection pass to the next inspectors. Such a phased inspection could delay the delivery of the house for years, because eliminating one problem, you could get a new one at any time. How does the developer put the house into operation now? The simplification of the urban planning code allowed to hand over constructed residential objects if only:
- conclusions on compliance;
- permission to enter.
The first document is the final act of the capital construction commission on the compliance of the house with all the requirements of the project and technical specifications. In short, it is called AIA. Obtaining only two documents reduced the deadlines for the delivery of objects to a maximum of several months.
Private house for rent
To commission a private house, there is no need to go through all instances, as in the case of new buildings. For this, since 2015, a special simplified procedure has been created that requires two documents: a technical passport for the house and a document defining the rights of the owner of the building to the land under it. Thus, the entire load of registration of the necessary documentation is assigned to the employees of Rosreestr, who enter the object into the state register and put on the cadastral register.
Registration of an unfinished object
Sometimes it becomes necessary to fully register the rights to unfinished objects, how to put a new house into operation in this case? If the construction has not yet been completed, then for its execution it is necessary to submit a title document for the land plot under the house under construction and the technical documentation available for the object. It should indicate the presence of basic load-bearing structures in the building, but the facility may not meet the requirements for living. Such a documentary design will make it possible to bring an unfinished house to the real estate market already as an independent object.
Housing Requirements
In order for a house to be recognized as residential after the completion of construction work, it is not enough that it has only windows and doors. Indoor floors must be laid. To do this, you do not need to immediately cover them with a finish coating, it is enough to have a concrete or plank floor in the main rooms. This is necessary for a more accurate measurement of the area of each room when compiling a cadastral passport by a qualified specialist. It is important to know that for the commissioning of a residential building, the finish in the bathrooms and the kitchen must be completed completely, that is, tiles are laid on the floor and walls.
Also, for the delivery of a multi-storey private house, it is imperative to install a staircase and, if there is a balcony, a fence on it.
A very important element for a living room is heating, so without it the house will be considered non-residential. It is interesting that you do not need to connect all communications for this, just having a boiler and heating radiators in place is enough. After the work is completed, the gas service can connect the system; this is not necessary at the stage of commissioning the facility.
Also, the house must have a ready-to-use wiring harness and sockets and switches installed in all places marked in the project places.
The sequence of signing documents for a private house
To save time and nerves when drawing up an act for the delivery of a private house, it is best to collect signatures separately from each specialist, since it will be simply unrealistic to collect them together. The first to sign the act is the representative of the architectural and construction commission, which will confirm the compliance of the real house with all measurements available on paper. If the sizes diverge significantly, problems will arise in the form of a fine and an obligation to eliminate inconsistencies. Therefore, it is in the interests of the builder to do everything at once according to certain standards.
A representative of the fire inspectorate will inspect all sockets, their grounding, serviceability of heating devices and the compliance of the wiring with fire safety standards. The sanitary service pays more attention to the site, therefore, before it arrives, order should be put in place on the territory of the house. If the house and around it are too dirty, the owner will receive a fine.
In any case, only if there is a contract for the removal of garbage and a full sewage system, water supply, electricity and, if necessary, a gas pipeline, the house will be considered residential.
How long does it take
Only when the house is considered commissioned can we calculate how long this process took. In most cases, the speed depends on the completeness of the provided package of documents and is at least two months. This is due to the need to allocate 30 days for the creation of an interdepartmental commission and the same amount of time to inspect the house and sign the act.
Procedure cost
How much does it cost to commission a house? The examination itself is carried out by the commission for free, but it is necessary to pay the work of the cadastral engineer and the state fee for registration (about 2,000 rubles) and registration of the object in Rosreestr.
