Damaged houses are dangerous for people living in them. Accordingly, authorities at various levels are taking measures to minimize threats of this kind. After the object is recognized as emergency, its further fate may have two directions - reconstruction with repair or demolition. So, if an apartment building is considered emergency, then it is possible to resettle tenants in new apartments. It remains only to achieve the appropriate status of the building, and for this it is necessary to undergo the necessary procedures. But first you need to understand what accident criteria exist.
Accident recognition criteria
The most common and good reasons for transferring an object to the emergency category is the loss of the proper strength of the supporting structures. This can happen due to deformation, damage or obsolescence of the foundation, walls or partitions with columns. In addition, the emergency house can have serious violations in the technical condition of the roof, balcony or basement - these factors are also enough for the resettlement of residents.
It is important to note that the reasons for the mismatch of the technical condition of the house with the requirements for its further operation may be different. In particular, the consequences of improper reconstruction or repair, natural disasters in the form of an earthquake or fire, etc. can be distinguished. In this case, repairs in an emergency house for the purpose of restoration, as a rule, are not carried out due to economic inexpediency.
Criteria for declaring the property unsuitable for living
Not always the technical condition of the building is the main argument for the recognition of accidents. Unsuitable conditions for living can be determined based on the location of the object and its communication support. In the first case emergency situation home can be due to its very location near the danger zone. For example, when there is a risk of avalanches, explosions or other disasters. As for communication support, we can talk about the impossibility of providing services for the supply of electricity or water.
The reason for the move is often an unsatisfactory environmental situation. But in this case, an official survey of the area for the concentration of harmful substances is required. The situation is complicated if the poor environment is supplemented by poor-quality maintenance of emergency houses, expressed by the lack of sewage, a garbage chute and heating systems.
Who should recognize a house as an emergency?
This issue is usually decided by city or district interdepartmental commissions. And here it should be noted that for such bodies most often the main factor in the accident rate is not the level of wear of structures at all, but the risk of collapse of the bearing walls, floors or foundation. If there is such a threat, then you can count on recognizing the house as emergency. An object is more often recognized as subject to reconstruction if there is reason to consider the prospect of its further restoration and subsequent operation.
Overhaul should occupy a special place in this context, but, as practice shows, local authorities only rarely send money from this reserve to restore houses in poor condition. The situation is aggravated by the fact that the resettlement of residents is delayed. As a result, the emergency house is not undergoing proper reconstruction, but people are not resettled.
Accidental housing procedure
It should be noted right away that the procedure is not quick and can take a lot of time and effort. First of all, you should get an opinion on the condition of the house from the service organization. After that, an application for recognizing the facility as emergency is submitted to the local administration. At the same time, it is necessary to supplement the application with copies of legal documents for housing with notary certification, a data sheet and a plan of residential premises. It will be useful to back up the package of documents with complaints from other residents about the technical condition, this will help to quickly recognize the emergency home unsuitable for life. After submitting the application, it is necessary to expect the creation of a commission, which will include representatives of the sanitary-epidemiological and fire inspections. This usually takes about a month. Further, the formed group will conduct a survey of the house and make a decision on recognizing it unsuitable for operation. However, far from always the commissions make decisions that allow dysfunctional residents to find safe real estate.
Shabby and dilapidated housing - what is the difference?
Residents often confuse the concepts of dilapidated and emergency housing. But between them there are differences that affect the further decision of the commission on the fate of the building. The main difference is that the demolished houses for demolition already at the time of the survey are not suitable for life. Therefore, in such cases, a decision is made on the resettlement of residents. The dilapidated house, in turn, can be operated, since the level of its reliability and, therefore, safety is not critical. These are houses with worn-out structures that often seem to correspond to emergency buildings, but the permissible level of wear is 70%. In the case of wooden houses, it drops to 65%.
Conclusion
People living in life-threatening homes often encounter problems on the way to declaring buildings unsuitable for use. Since the house is being demolished, local authorities must provide new housing for resettlement at this point. It is the inability to provide people with living space that makes the commissions recognize the houses not dilapidated, but dilapidated. This status of problematic real estate does not eliminate all the troubles, but it leaves the possibility of reconstruction and repair work. However, a certain threat to life still remains in the case of dilapidated housing.
