In previous articles we talked about national project"Housing and communal services and urban environment» . This is the Ministry of Construction’s plan to improve the quality of housing and communal services and create a comfortable urban environment. The authors of the project promise that by 2020 cities will become cozier, more beautiful and more convenient.
Residents will be the “engine” of transformation, but they cannot do it without the help of utility specialists. And first of all, they will turn to the management organization. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read today’s article. In it we told how to include a house in improvement program for 2017.
What will they do
- rules of improvement and maintenance;
- efficient cleaning, lighting and landscaping systems.
The public areas that are most often visited by city residents will be equipped in 2017. And by 2020 they plan to put all urban areas in order.
Two thirds of funding from federal budget will be spent on landscaping yards. Therefore, the townspeople have good opportunity get funding for arrangement of the yard area.
Whether the yard will be transformed depends on the residents. It is important to convey to them that the territory will be included in the program only if they show interest and initiative. The Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation explained in step-by-step instructions how to create the yard of your dreams.
Step 1. Find out the terms of the program
Organs local government must be developed and published by April 1, 2017 municipal improvement program project adjacent areas . It specifies the conditions for participation in the program, the minimum list of works and examples of landscaping elements, and the cost of these elements.
If you want to do more in your yard than the minimum list suggests, you can do additional work.
To do this, interested parties must be found among those living in houses nearby, tenants and owners of premises, public organizations. Stakeholders participate in carrying out additional work .
The minimum share and method of participation are determined by the municipality. Participation in additional work can be labor or financial. In the first case, residents hold cleanup days, plant plants, make flower beds, and install street furniture on their own. With financial participation, they partially pay for the work.
You can raise funds for additional work in the following ways:
- use savings for current repairs of common property or reserve funds,
- receive from the use of common property,
- collect a one-time target fee by decision of the general meeting through management organization or HOA or according to the statement in cash,
- attract sponsors.
Step 2. Make a plan
An initiative group is assembled from interested parties. It is important to consider whose property the yard is. It may belong to:
- owners of one apartment building (included in common property);
- owners of several apartment buildings (on land plots of two or more apartment buildings);
- municipality;
- owners of several apartment buildings and the municipality (a municipal plot is located between the land plots of apartment buildings).
To find out, you need to find out land boundaries, if they are defined. Information about the boundaries of a land plot can be found in the cadastral passport of the building or on the Rosreestr website.
No matter who owns the yard, it is possible to arrange it according to the program.
If the yard is common to several houses, then the initiative group should include representatives of each house. The initiative group solves the following tasks:
- create a yard plan,
- determine the list of works and the scope of participation of residents,
- conduct OSS,
- control the implementation of ideas at all stages.
Works to help residents in every municipality public commission. It brings together experts in landscaping, construction, and local history. Specialists will help you draw the yard and take into account:
- wishes of the owners,
- municipal program
- natural and other features of the territory.
Step 3. Conduct OSS
With the finished drawing, the initiative group goes to general meeting owners. If the initiative group includes representatives of several MKDs, the OSS is held in each house with the same agenda.
- elect the chairman and secretary of the OSS, the counting commission;
- contact the compulsory health insurance with a proposal to include the yard area in municipal program for creating a comfortable urban environment for 2017 (in this paragraph you should indicate the planned list of works, which corresponds to the established minimum and additional lists);
- determine the form and share of participation of the owners (the amount of financial participation is indicated as a percentage of the cost, labor participation - in the number of people involved in the work);
- determine the procedure and source of financing for the work;
- select the person responsible for the approval of the design project, control and acceptance of work;
- include the installed objects into the general property of the apartment building for their subsequent maintenance.
Residents will have 1-2 months from the date of publication of the municipal program to prepare and hold a general meeting. And you need to prepare well for such a meeting. After all, if in at least one of several houses OSS solution will not be accepted, the yard will not be included in the program.
The Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation recommends choosing an in-person form and holding the in-person part of the meeting in all courtyards at the same time. This way, residents will be able to discuss issues together and come to an agreement. All issues on the agenda must be resolved at the meeting.
Step 4. Submit an application
To include a yard in the program, local authorities are sent OSS protocol(one or several depending on the number of apartment buildings to which the yard area belongs) with the decisions made. A landscaping plan can be attached to the protocol.
A public commission will consider the application. It includes representatives of the compulsory medical insurance, political parties, public organizations and so on. The review procedure must be published on the municipality’s website before April 1, 2017.
Municipal program project submitted for public discussion. There the fate of each application will be decided. Residents can take part in the discussion. How to do this is determined by the municipality.
Step 5. Agree on the design project
If the yard is included in the territory development plan, based on the plan (drawing) a design project. It may look different, depending on the amount of work planned. If necessary, it may contain design and estimate documentation or only images of the yard with a description of the proposed works and activities.
The design project must not violate the rights of third parties or interfere with the passage of engineering communications. It will be approved by the responsible person selected at the OSS.
By July 1, 2017, municipal authorities must approve the design project for the yard. This will happen if:
- authorized on behalf of the OSS, agreed on the project;
- the owners have fully contributed their share of financial participation to a special account and/or submitted a letter of guarantee that specific named residents will participate in the work.
Once the design project is approved, the competitive selection of contractors will begin. They will begin to develop the territory approximately 1.5 months after the announcement of the competition.
Step 6. Controlling the work
An authorized representative of the owners supervises the improvement work. If he sees that contractors are doing work of poor quality or not in accordance with the project, he writes an appeal to the compulsory medical insurance.
When arranging the territory, workers must comply with accessibility requirements for low mobility groups population.
The plan for the yard must be completed by the end of 2017. The work is accepted by a commission, which includes the person in charge selected at the OSS. Experts can be hired to evaluate the work performed. If the activities are carried out efficiently and according to the project, an acceptance certificate is signed.
Step 7. Maintain the yard area
And now in front of your house there is a new, modern site, into the creation of which you have invested your labor and finances. Think about how long it will remain in this form: like in the picture of the design project? After all, any property needs to be monitored, maintained and repaired. Here the owners need services management organization.
To make a decision on the maintenance of the courtyard area, the initiative group collects proposals from the management authority, HOA, service organizations and submits them to the general meeting of owners.
The OSS decides which organization will maintain the yard and how this work will be paid for.
Several organizations can simultaneously maintain a yard common to several apartment buildings.
Remember that when maintaining a yard area, its characteristics must be taken into account.
The really good news is that the federal program for landscaping courtyard areas will come into effect from 2018 to 2022. This name has an expanded meaning - new look Not only courtyards will be acquired, but also squares, parks, public gardens, and embankments. But the bulk of the money is intended for improving courtyard areas.
The federal government allocates an amount of 20 billion rubles from its budget. The money will be distributed among the regions, and their administrations will have to think through the correct scheme for the further use of these funds.
The allocated money is intended for the improvement of public places. Permission from ordinary residents to improve squares and parks is not required, since their rights will not be violated in this case. But residents will have obligations after landscaping the adjacent areas. These places will acquire the status of common property. Apartment owners are obligated to pay for maintaining their yards in proper condition.
Distribution by region
IN Russian Federation there are 85 regions. They differ in the size of their territories and numbers. The largest region in terms of population is the federal city of Moscow. However, it is one of the smallest regions in terms of area. The opposite situation is in Yakutia. There are apparently still more squares, parks and courtyards in large populated areas. As we see, the implementation of the program is not an easy task already at the first stage.
Adoption of municipal programs
To receive money from the federal budget, regions and municipalities must develop their own program and approve it. What is unusual is that this can be influenced by the residents themselves. Landscaping activities are carried out in courtyard areas only apartment buildings.
The municipal program for the improvement of courtyard areas, starting in 2018, includes a list of addresses of adjacent areas of apartment buildings that need improvement. Government Decree of the Russian Federation No. 169 regulates that approval must be made no later than December 31, 2017.
Which localities can participate in the program?
Approved by Order of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation No. 691-pr guidelines, according to which the program involves municipalities with a population exceeding 1,000 people.
Who takes care of the yards now?
According to the housing code, land plot, on which the house is located, is common property. But for this, a formality must be completed - an official transfer. In fact, most yards did not go through this procedure. Therefore they are considered municipal property.
Every year money is allocated to maintain order in them in accordance with one’s own taste and financial capabilities. Residents of the house are not surveyed and, accordingly, their wishes are not taken into account. The residents of the house do not consider themselves owners and do not treat their property with particular care.
New rules
In 2022, after the end of the program, new rules will be introduced. Landscaped and well-kept courtyards will begin to be considered part of the common property. Residents already know what this means - they pay for the maintenance of roofs, basements and entrances. You will also have to pay for maintaining order in your yards. But for the already established order!
Thus, the state first helps with considerable money over a long period of time to clean up the yard, and then this responsibility passes to the apartment owners.
The further fate of each yard depends on the will of the residents of the house. It is important that they understand: the yard area will be included in the program only if they take the initiative. This is decided at a house-wide meeting, where residents will be familiarized with a list of minimal work that can be done in their yard.
At the meeting, a decision must be made on what improvements should be made. If additional types of work are expected, you need to find out whether the residents are ready to participate financially and personally. At the meeting, a person is selected who will further represent the interests of the residents of the house and monitor the safety of the acquired improvements.
Examples of minimal and additional work are shown in the table.
If a decision is made to carry out additional work, then the number of people willing to participate in this should be found out.
Participation can be:
- Labor. It is free and voluntary. This includes participation in community cleanups, construction and painting work, installation of trash bins and benches, landscaping, and cleaning of the area.
- Financial. This means funds collected in the form of lump sum payments(the size must be no less than that approved in the decision of the meeting), and attracting sponsors.
Meetings can be organized by: the housing and communal services board, the management company or proactive residents. For notification, you can post notices indicating the agenda, place notifications in mailboxes, call for personal communication. All decisions made at the meeting are recorded in the minutes.
On the municipal government website you can find out which specific yard is included in the program.
What is necessary to include the local area in the improvement program
In order for a specific yard to be included in the program, the following actions must be performed:
- Create an initiative group.
- Make a list of desired changes.
- Draw up a diagram of the yard with proposed improvements.
- Hold a general meeting of residents, after which a protocol will be drawn up.
- Submit an application for participation in the program to the municipal authorities.
If, according to the cadastral passport, there are several houses located in the local area, then the initiative group must include representatives of each of them.
The drawing indicates existing and planned objects. Proposed innovations must comply with the municipal program. For example, installing a monument in the yard may not be included.
A positive decision is made if a majority of those present at the meeting votes for it. Based on the results of the meeting, a protocol is drawn up.
Then an application for improvement is submitted to the municipality. A public commission created there will review it and organize public discussion. The municipal organization will submit a design project for the yard for consideration, which requires approval from representatives elected at a general meeting of residents.
Based on the design project, the municipality will organize a competitive selection of contractors to carry out necessary work. Representatives from the initiative group carry out intermediate monitoring of the progress of work.
Further maintenance of the yard can be carried out by the residents themselves or with the involvement of third-party organizations for an additional fee.
Participating in the program and discussing details together has an additional bonus - it brings together people living in the same house.

Around everyone apartment building there is a local area that belongs to all owners at the same time. Current legislation requires regular improvement work. The plan of these works, quality standards and other rules are described in detail in the article.
The standards for the size of the territory that belongs to the local area are regulated primarily by the Housing Code (Chapter 6). They also pay attention to town planning acts, which depend on the specific settlement, construction documents and Rules for the maintenance of common property related to an apartment building.
There is no single, specific formula for all cases. However, for each house there is a plan (it can be seen in the Management Company or HOA), which clearly indicates the boundaries of the territory.
Thus, to determine the area of responsibility for the care and improvement of the yard area first you need to clearly define its boundaries. Legally, it can be municipal or privately owned. In the latter case, the land is considered to belong simultaneously to all owners in shares proportional to the areas of their apartments.
Responsible for landscaping
If the land belongs to the municipality, then representatives of the local Administration are responsible for the improvement. If the local area is private property, the residents bear responsibility. However, in this case, the owners, as a rule, transfer (delegate) their powers to a certain legal entity:
- The management company that is responsible for the content common property, landscaping, yard cleaning, garbage removal and much more;
- House Committee (relevant responsible persons are appointed from among the owners).
Thus, regardless of the size of the local area and the form of ownership of it Responsibility for improvement lies with the owner(directly or indirectly – i.e. through an agreement with the Management Company). The management company provides appropriate paid services, paid according to the accepted tariff.
Apartment owners have the right to demand fulfillment of obligations under the contract in full. You can read the text of the agreement at the company or get it from the person in charge (for example, the chairman of the HOA or the person in charge of the house).
Expert opinion
Salomatov Sergey
Real estate expert
In case of purchasing an apartment in a new building, the owners enter into a purchase and sale agreement with construction company. An act of acceptance and transfer of property (both the house itself and the yard around it) is also signed. The developer’s obligation to carry out landscaping of the yard must be specified in the contract. Otherwise, the owners will not be able to require him to carry out the appropriate work.
List of landscaping works
A specific list of works is approved at the local level - in decisions of regional governments. Typically, such programs are called “Formation of a comfortable urban environment.”
The final list of work can be determined individually for each apartment building. Residents at the general meeting of owners have the right to independently determine a specific list of responsibilities of the Management Company servicing the house (within the limits of their financial capabilities). The list of works usually includes the following types:
- Cleaning of the entire area intended for common use, including designated parking areas.
- Installation of garbage cans and trash cans.
- Construction of asphalt and sidewalks.
- Installation of curbs and curbs.
- Maintenance of street lighting lamps, periodic inspection and renovation work, eliminating the consequences of emergency situations.
- Installation of lighting systems for additional purposes (for example, lighting on a sports ground, children's playground, etc.).
- Creation, maintenance, expansion, modernization of a playground in the yard (and other areas active rest if available - for example, horizontal bars, exercise machines, etc.).
- Carrying out landscaping work, maintaining shrubs, trees, flower beds.
- Painting of all stationary structures installed on the site, including fences, benches, trash cans, supports, etc.
- Seasonal work related to ensuring the safety of residents and tenants - processing pedestrian paths anti-icing mixture, destruction of icicles, ice, snow crust, etc.
- Installation, maintenance and repair work on the fences of the site, its individual zones (for example, a flower garden, a children's playground).
- Installation in the yard of ramps, railings, and other devices for creating comfortable environment for people with disabilities.
- Covering the area – natural or artificial turf, asphalt.
- Installation architectural structures, sculptures, small fountains etc.
- Creation of areas for walking animals, fencing, maintenance of these areas.
The volume of each type of work has its own unit of measurement - in most cases it is a square meter, linear meter or pieces. For example, curbs are measured in linear meters, laying asphalt - in m 2, and installing trash bins - in pcs.
Lists of works are compiled for each year, the content of types of services and prices for them are updated as new information becomes available. Usually the document is approved in advance, before the new year.
Standards for carrying out basic work
Specific standards are established both at the level of federal and regional legislation (regulatory acts, GOSTs, SNiPs and other documents). The main source of information is the relevant Decree of the State Construction Committee.
Asphalting
This is one of the most expensive items in the budget for landscaping yards. As a rule, before making a decision on repairs, at least half of the residents gather and make the appropriate decision by a majority vote. The work is carried out through additional financing by the owners (or through income from the rental of part of the local area).
The asphalting standards are as follows:
- the layer height may differ from the accepted one by at least 15 cm;
- the width of the coating directly around the house is at least 100 cm;
- covering on the roads directly adjacent to the entrances, as well as in the parking lot, is mandatory.
Fencing rules
The construction of permanent fences is not prohibited by law, however, when carrying out work, several requirements must be taken into account:
- The fence cannot block the passage, as well as vehicular access to the house.
- The territory of the yard cannot be completely limited - so that residents of other courtyards cannot easily cross it.
- However, the playground or parking lot can be completely fenced.
Fences in the parking lot should not interfere with the passage of special vehicles (police, ambulance, fire trucks, etc.) to the house.
Landscaping rules
When landscaping a yard, attention is almost always paid to landscaping the area. It is carried out taking into account the following requirements:
- Lawns, shrubs, and green hedges are mowed regularly (several times during the warm season).
- Watering is timely and increased in dry summers.
- Unauthorized planting of bushes and trees, as well as their uprooting, is inadmissible.
- Maintaining clear boundaries of green areas and lawns. It is unacceptable to expand it at the expense of pedestrian paths and other areas.
- It is not allowed to use trees as poles, supports, advertising structures, etc.
- Timely removal of dead wood and last year's grass.
- It is prohibited to place parking spaces directly in the green zone.
- It is allowed to erect low fences, signal posts to visually highlight lawns, areas with trees and shrubs.
Sometimes the green area in the courtyards additionally contains an artificial pond. In this case, at a meeting of owners, it is necessary to develop a procedure for caring for water in order to avoid clogging of the pond, water blooms, etc.
Arrangement of a children's playground
Responsibility for the construction of a playground lies with:
- on the developer, if this clause was initially provided for in the contract (for new buildings);
- on apartment owners, if the adjacent territory has already been privatized;
- at the municipality (Administration), if privatization has not yet taken place.
The requirements for the creation and maintenance of sites are the most stringent, since we're talking about First of all, about the safety of children.
In general, when carrying out installation or repair work, the following requirements are adhered to:
- The area for placing the site is selected based on the fact that it should be furthest from the roadway and garbage cans (at least 20 meters).
- The perimeter of the site is fenced with trees that will provide shade in the summer.
- It is imperative to create a sand cushion to minimize injuries in the event of a fall. Sand replacement is carried out annually.
- Maintaining cleanliness and compliance with sanitary standards.
Employees of the Management Company must monitor the condition of the territory. They remove garbage, carry out routine repairs, carry out regular inspections with the preparation of reports, etc.
GOST requirements for the improvement of playgrounds require the creation of several zones for different age groups. In practice, it is not possible to implement this idea in all cases. Therefore, they are limited to installing at least one horizontal bar (simulator, play structure) for each age.
Current and major repairs
Under major repairs understand the following types of work:
- landscaping the yard with shrubs and trees, creating a hedge;
- installation of fences and buildings;
- asphalting of parking lots, internal roads and pedestrian paths.
Part current repairs includes:
- pothole repair of roads;
- work on the maintenance of fences and buildings on the site;
- repair work on children's and sports grounds.
How to take part in the improvement program
The maintenance of the house, including the surrounding area, is carried out mainly by the Management Company, to which the residents delegate these powers under an agreement. However, in practice, the scope of her responsibility is limited to garbage removal, mowing lawns, etc. To carry out a complete renovation of the playground, organize a recreation area and make other large-scale changes, residents have to contact the local Administration.
Step 1. Holding a general meeting
First of all, the owners must gather at a general meeting to decide on drawing up a plan for landscaping their yard. In practice, the same yard actually belongs to several apartment buildings at once. Therefore, it is advisable to organize a general meeting with the participation of the owners of all apartments belonging to the microsite.
An initiative group is preliminarily assembled (for example, elders in the house, at the entrances, HOA chairmen) and make an announcement about the organization of the meeting. It contains information:
- on the composition of the initiative group;
- the date, time and place of the meeting;
- about the agenda (including landscaping of the yard).
The decision is made by a simple majority of votes. At the same time, the quorum (minimum required amount) constitutes 50% of all owners. and signed by the participants.
The results of the meeting are communicated to all owners via announcements within 10 calendar days after the decision is made. Requirements for drawing up a protocol should be clarified in the relevant regulatory document(Order).
Step 2. Yard landscaping plan
At the meeting, among other issues, the list, plan and procedure for carrying out work on landscaping the yard are discussed. The plan is drawn up with or without the involvement of specialists. As a rule, owners provide a complete list of all works and indicate them on the diagram.
After this, the form of participation of all residents is determined (financial - that is, payment in money or labor - performing certain works). The candidacy of the chairman responsible for submitting the application for improvement is approved.
Step 3. Submit an application
The minutes of the meeting of the owners of one or several houses at once (or the minutes of meetings for each house) are transferred to the local Administration by the responsible chairman. Also, any resident of the house has the right to apply. The procedure and timing of consideration depend on local regulations, which need to be clarified locally. At the same time, you can also check whether the house is included in the improvement program. This is also done in the Administration (upon request) or on the official website (if available).
Step 4. Waiting for a decision
Based on the submitted data, the municipality independently draws up a design project that takes into account the wishes of the residents. This document is agreed upon between all representatives of the owners of the apartment building. After approval, the project is finally approved by the Administration (no later than July 1). Then a competitive selection of companies ready to carry out improvement work is announced, and after about 2 months the winner of the competition is determined. The terms and schedule of work are drawn up individually.
Additional sources of income for improvement
Financing is carried out not only at the expense of the owners (when paying receipts). It is also possible to attract additional funds due to:
- leasing part of the local area for shops, organizing parking, etc.;
This year, 18 Blagoveshchensk courtyards were included in the Urban Environment improvement program. The Amur capital received 139 million rubles from the federal and regional budgets, as well as from the city treasury, to tidy up courtyards and public areas. How to include your yard in priority project and what work can be carried out within the framework of the improvement program, Olga Tokareva, head of the Management Company “Amur Blagovravleniye”, told Amurskaya Pravda.
Twice a year, specialists inspect houses and evaluate the work engineering systems, condition of the local area.
Improvement is the responsibility of the residents themselves
The priority project “Housing and communal services and urban environment”, aimed at improving city courtyards and public areas, started in Russian regions this year. It was initially assumed that the state would co-finance the project until 2020. However, recently the Minister of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation Mikhail Men announced the extension of the program for another two years. In Blagoveshchensk, 139 million rubles from the federal, regional and local budgets will be spent on cleaning up courtyard areas this year. The Urban Environment program included 18 courtyard areas, two of which are located in the Airport village. The two houses to which these courtyards adjoin are managed by the Blagoveshchensk company “Amurblagovravleniye”.
thousand square meters housing is managed by the company "Amurblagovravleniye". Another about 4 thousand sq. m. m - under maintenance
— To get into the improvement project, residents of houses in the Airport village had to do serious work. One of the houses that was included in the program came under the management of our company in January,” says Olga Vitalievna. — Residents often decide to change the management organization because they want not only the light bulbs in their entrances to be changed and the floors cleaned. The task of the management company is to make the lives of citizens comfortable. In the house we accepted, it was necessary to change the windows in the entrance to new metal-plastic ones and install LED lamps. In addition, residents voted for their yard to participate in the Housing and Communal Services and Urban Environment program. We helped compose necessary documentation. The work had to be done quickly so that the yard could be repaired this summer.
The neighboring house, which is also “under the wing” of the Amur Blagovernment, prepared a package of documents for the improvement of its yard back in 2013. Residents of a high-rise building nearby decided that a good yard would not hurt them either. The project also took into account drainage.
— The lack of a drainage system is the problem of many courtyards in Blagoveshchensk. Due to poor functioning of storm drains, during rains water ends up not only near entrances, but also in basements. Therefore, when drawing up a repair project, this point must be taken into account first of all, advised the Amur Blagovernment.
Pay or live without amenities
Twice a year specialists of the management company "Amurblagovravleniye" conduct an inspection structural elements buildings that are managed by the company evaluate the operation of engineering systems and the condition of the local area. Based on these inspections, reports are drawn up indicating all identified defects.
— Unfortunately, many residents have a negative attitude towards management companies. This is partly due to the work in the market of unscrupulous management companies. The shadow of the activities of such companies ultimately falls on respectable organizations. In order not to be responsible for other people's mistakes, we work as transparently as possible. We always invite the chairman of the house council or one of the members of this council to inspect the house and draw up reports. And the council is already conveying information to other owners. By law, we can only recommend solving priority problems. For example, advise installing a water heater. However, oddly enough, sometimes people are ready to give up amenities in favor of, for example, a swing in the yard, notes Olga Tokareva. — In order for landscaping issues to be resolved effectively and efficiently, funds for maintaining houses and surrounding areas must be included in the tariff. And sometimes it turns out that only families with children are interested in installing a slide on the playground; grandmother needs a bench in front of the entrance. But in fact, neither one nor the other wants to pay for it. In the minds of many citizens, there is still a belief that someone should monitor the condition of their yards, be responsible for the safety of common property, and carry out repairs.
IN management company admit that some of the work in residential buildings sometimes you have to do something in debt so as not to join the ranks of violators. After all, the management company is under constant control of the housing inspectorate, resource supply organizations, and the residents themselves.
— It happens that we carry out some urgent repair work, and then convince residents to change the tariff, since people remain in debt to the company. Given today's prices and ever-increasing inflation, to maintain apartment house in normal condition, the tariff for its maintenance should be at least 17 rubles. This does not include elevator maintenance, trash removal and cleaning services. And we have houses for maintenance where the tariff is 12 rubles. How can you maintain a home without the resources to maintain it? For this money, you can only provide residents with an uninterrupted supply of electricity, water, and sanitation. In order, for example, to replace lamps, windows, mailboxes in the entrance, or to provide funds for the repair of entrances, the tariff must be higher than the minimum. We try to convince people that living comfortably is much more pleasant than constantly complaining about rickety doors in the entrance and puddles in the yard.
Make it before the end of December
