How to put a house into operation: main stages

Completion of construction work on the construction of a new facility implies the implementation of the procedure for obtaining permits. How to put a house into operation, and what are the legal requirements for this process? Let's consider the nuances of obtaining permission to open a private or apartment building.

When can the house be put into operation?

It is possible to put the house into operation only after the actual completion of the construction work. The definition of this point may vary depending on the type of house:

• for an apartment building (hereinafter - MKD) - after completion of all work provided for in the architectural and design documentation;
• for a private house - from the moment construction work is completed and the house is suitable for use for its intended purpose.

Such rules are associated with a mandatory condition on the use of construction supervision measures during the construction of apartment buildings, which is carried out on the basis of the original design documentation.

For private houses, there is no requirement for the execution and approval of such documents, so the commissioning of the house will be carried out upon completion of the necessary work.

The decision on whether to put the house into operation is made by the developer or the owner of the constructed facility. They are the ones who must determine the readiness of the facility in comparison with the design documentation or construction conditions.

If the constructed house clearly shows significant deviations from the original documentation or deficiencies do not allow the building to be used for its actual purpose, a refusal may follow at the stage of acceptance of the house.

How to put a house into operation?

How to put a built house into operation if construction work is completed? To do this, you must contact the agency that issued the building permit.

Permission for commissioning will be carried out based on the results of checking the readiness of the building for use in accordance with the stated purposes - accommodation of citizens.

Submission of an application for the commissioning of an erected structure must be accompanied by the submission of the necessary documents, as well as a request to create and appoint an interdepartmental commission to inspect the facility.

At the stage of checking the readiness of the house for actual use, approval is carried out for putting the house into operation, in which representatives of control and supervisory authorities in the field of construction and architecture will participate.

To put a house into operation, what documents are needed from the owner or developer? Their composition should allow a comparison with the original project, issued with a building permit, with the actual condition of the constructed structure.

If the construction was carried out on the basis of a contract, before receiving an act of putting the house into operation, it is required to issue an acceptance certificate for the constructed facility. This act specifies the following points:

• actual completion of work in accordance with the original plan;
• no violation of technical regulations and standards during the construction of the structure;
• the customer has no complaints against the developer regarding the quality of the work performed.

Also, to contact local authorities, it is necessary to draw up technical documentation for the building, which will confirm its physical characteristics and establish compliance with the requirements for residential premises.

These documents are authorized to be drawn up by a cadastral engineer with a professional certificate.

The following documents are attached to the application for the creation of a commissioning commission:

• title documents for a plot of land provided for construction work;
• urban planning and boundary plan for the site;
• permission to carry out construction work;
• documentation on the compliance of the constructed building with technical standards and regulations.

After submitting these documents, local authorities are required to create a commission to accept the building into operation.

The main stages of putting a house into operation

The procedure for obtaining approvals for putting a facility into operation can be presented in the form of step-by-step instructions that will clearly show how to put a private house into operation:

• upon completion of construction work, with the help of a cadastral engineer, draw up technical documentation for the house and a boundary plan for the site;
• send an application to the local government authority to create a commission for acceptance of the finished facility (it is necessary to attach a permit for construction work, which was issued before the start of construction);
• provide specialists included in the interdepartmental commission with unhindered access to the constructed facility;
• obtaining approvals from relevant specialists on the building’s compliance with fire safety standards, sanitary rules and regulations, architectural standards, etc.;
• receive a final certificate stating that the house has been put into operation.

This act gives rise to the right to apply to the Rosreestr authorities to register the newly constructed object for cadastral registration and register ownership.

How long can the house not be put into operation after the completion of construction work? This point depends on two factors:

• before the building is put into operation officially, it is impossible to legitimize the rights to it;
• delays may result in the termination of the land lease or construction permit.

Thus, the deadline for delivery of the house should not exceed the maximum permissible period of validity of the land contract and construction permit.

Simplified procedure

What is commissioning of an individual residential building? This is a procedure that differs from the general rules for issuing permits for structures being built, which makes it possible to establish compliance with construction and other standards.

For individual housing construction, a simplified procedure for putting a house into operation is provided, which came into force in 2015.

To carry out simplified activities, the following documents are required:

• title document for the plot of land under the building;
• technical passport for the construction, prepared by a cadastral engineer.

The simplified scheme implies that all necessary actions will be carried out by officials of Rosreestr, who will simultaneously carry out the procedure for registering an object for cadastral registration and registering it with entering information into the Unified State Register of Real Estate.

In some cases, it becomes necessary to formalize unfinished construction and obtain title documents for it. Here are the documents needed to put an unfinished house into operation:

• document for the plot of land under the building;
• technical documentation confirming the fact of construction of the main structures inherent in the unfinished construction project.

In fact, this building will not meet the purposes of living of citizens, however, after registration of rights to it, it can act as an independent object in the real estate market.

How long will it take for a house to be put into operation in 2017? The exact timing depends on the completeness and quality of the documents submitted, since the approval of the act may take a long time. Taking into account the minimum deadlines, the period of time can be from two months, which includes a month’s period for the creation of an interdepartmental commission and the execution of the final act.

Laws and regulations

The list of federal regulations regulating the procedure for putting buildings into operation includes:

• Civil, Housing, Land and Town Planning Codes of the Russian Federation;
• Federal Law No. 218-FZ “On State Registration of Real Estate”
• Rules for the technical operation of the housing stock (Gosstroy order No. 170).

Local and regional authorities have the right to establish the procedure for creating an interdepartmental commission, including the possibility of including additional specialists in it.

Price

The cost of carrying out the procedure at home in operation will include:

• expenses for payment of work performed by a cadastral engineer;
• expenses associated with the payment of state duties and fees for registering an object with cadastral registration;
• state duty for registration actions with Rosreestr authorities.

Conducting an examination by an interdepartmental commission does not require additional payment.
