Several years in the capital there was an amnesty, sheallowed the apartment owners who made the illegal redevelopment, come with the guilt to the housing inspection and legalize the repairs. Now you first need to get a work permit, and then do it. And this is not a whim, because all the bearing walls of the apartment are something like the bones of a skeleton - they removed one, the load on the others increased. Therefore, often after a thoughtlessly made repair, the house gives a crack. Those who ask for backdating are fined for between 2 and 23.5 thousand rubles. If the redevelopment has affected the capital walls, you have to remove the changes.

What can and can not be done without agreement
There is a list of jobs that can be done withoutcoordination with specialists. For example, it is allowed to change windows, glaze loggias, move floor electric stoves (if this happens within the kitchen), do cosmetic repairs, dismantle built-in cabinets and mezzanines without fear. But any manipulations with load-bearing walls or interference with communications must be coordinated. By the way, even to replace a gas stove with an electric one, you need to get permission.
How to get good
To agree on changes, you need to contactHousing Inspectorate of your district. Find its address on the website mgi.mos.ru. Do not rush to collect papers, first seek a free consultation with a specialist. He will tell you whether you need to get permission at all. If it turns out that approval is inevitable, you will have to take the following steps. 1. Order a technical passport of the residential premises from the technical inventory bureau (if you have one, you will not have to get a new one). 2. Make a redevelopment project. If the work affects non-load-bearing walls, it is enough to contact any design organization. Please note that it must be a member of an SRO (self-regulatory organization). Check whether the company has permission to do such work. If the repair affects a capital partition, the document must be ordered from the State Budgetary Institution "Expert Center". In the event that the changes are minimal, for example, you want to make an additional wall from plasterboard, it is enough to make a sketch yourself and take it to the Housing Inspectorate. There is also an easy way. On the website mgi.mos.ru. in the section "Reconstruction and redevelopment" there is a catalog of ready-made projects for houses of various series built in Moscow over the past 50 years. For each apartment, several reconstruction options are offered, if one of them suits you, use it to obtain a permit for the work. 3. Prepare documents - an application, a certificate of ownership of the apartment, the consent of all owners of the premises for redevelopment. 4. Submit documents to the multifunctional center for the provision of state services ("My Documents").
During repairs you can’t…
· Demolish load-bearing walls, partitions, dismantleceilings. Install partitions or floors made of heavy materials instead of lightweight ones. Install valves on water and heating risers. Eliminate or reduce the ventilation shaft. Move the bathroom or kitchen to the living room (there is insufficient waterproofing and ventilation). Move the radiator to the loggia. This will lead to a decrease in the temperature in the heating system. Install floors with heating from the general house hot water supply or heating systems, and also move the heating radiators to loggias, balconies and verandas. Expand the bathroom at the expense of living rooms. If you extend pipes into a former bedroom or living room, the ceilings and walls in the apartment of the neighbors below will eventually become damp and covered with mold. It's all about the lack of necessary ventilation.
