Basic rules for repair in apartment buildings

Unfortunately, there is no single law regulating the permissible noise level and the time frame for repair work. In different regions there are individual norms, laws and requirements, which sometimes contradict each other.

However, there are generally accepted norms of behavior that will allow you not to break the law, and at the same time, keep a warm and friendly relationship with your neighbors:

• Do not perform repairs on weekends and holidays.
• On weekdays, you can work from 9.00 to 19.00, but beforehand, talk to your neighbors if there are any small children in the house who need a nap.

In any case, it makes sense to know the laws that are distributed everywhere and determine when it is possible to make repairs in the apartment:

1. In an apartment building, the duration of the repair is limited to three months. It does not matter how regularly and until what time the work was done.
2. It is allowed to use tools, equipment and aggregates whose noise threshold does not exceed 40 dBA.
3. Do not damage adjacent rooms - damage to load-bearing or interior walls.
4. The law prohibits cluttering public places and evacuation by building debris, waste and building materials.
5. It is forbidden to transport building materials in elevators without proper packaging.
6. If you need a longer time or repair work to be performed in the wrong time, you will receive a written agreement with the neighbors. Such a document will allow you to work in a convenient mode for you.

Services that follow the standards of repair in the apartments

When carrying out repairs all norms, laws and requirements are regulated by special services. The processing of applications for the relevant services is handled by the precinct officer, who, if necessary, must be present at the site of work.

All work related to the repair of the premises or its re-planning should be carried out in accordance with the laws in force in your area. Thus, you will preserve public peace and order. If your neighbors do not observe any norms and carry out work at night, then you can safely turn to the district police officer.

Useful advices

There are a lot of opinions as to the issue at what time it is possible to do repairs. Therefore, we tried to give recommendations on behavior in the most popular situations that are associated with repair work.

Should I insist on my rights if your neighbors express their dissatisfaction and insist on stopping the repair work?

In principle, everything is possible, but before you enter into conflict with others, we advise you to think that the repair will end, and the neighbors will remain. You have many more years to live next to these people and you still have to say hello.

It is reasonable to agree in advance about the time of especially noisy work, especially if there are young children living in the house.

Important! Plan your working time so that during the period of their dining sleep the quietest work is done.

Are there any limitations on the date of repair?

If the repair is done with re-planning, then according to the current legislation, its implementation should take no more than four months.

It is obligatory to coordinate with the neighbors conducted re-planning?

You can not tell anyone about the nature of the work performed, if the redevelopment of your apartment does not violate the general construction norms and rules - the integrity of the bearing walls is not violated, the inter-apartment partitions are not destroyed, etc.

Can I use a passenger elevator to transport construction materials?

Passenger lifts should never be used for the transport of building materials, as they have strict limitations on load capacity. In addition, the garbage left after the transportation of such cargo is unlikely to please your neighbors.

With this article, we shared with you the recommendations and legal norms regarding the issue of when to make repairs, and we hope that the upcoming works will give you only a comfortable life and mutual understanding with neighbors.
