Yesterday, March 27 Mayor Igor Pushkarev held the fourth meeting of the Public Council on Housing.
In considering the first question, it was noted that at the present time in Vladivostok found obschedomovyh meters: 83% of electric power and heat power — 31% of domestic hot water — 33%, cold water — 22%. This indicates a lack of activity in this matter as resursosnabzhayuschih organizations and residents themselves. Council members stressed that this work should be intensified, to explain the benefits of the residents of meters, to give examples of apartment buildings, which due to the counters already significantly reduced payment for utilities. Also on board was decided — addressed to the governor of Primorsky Krai with a proposal to develop a regional program, which will provide for the co-financing of the budget measures to modernize the utilities of apartment buildings and the installation of meters.
Another topic was the introduction of the social norm of consumption. Recall Primorye was among the pilot sites for the establishment of such a rule. This suggests that a certain amount of power (social norms) to set a fixed rate. For electricity consumed in excess of the social norm, will have to pay a higher rate. At the council also decided to write a letter to the governor of Primorye requesting more time to consider whether to Vladivostok participate in this project, with particular attention given to those standards, based on which will be deducted from this social norm.
The second question that Igor Pushkarev with a specialist housing and utilities sector is the creation of Councils of apartment buildings. According to the changes in the Housing Code all homeowners are required to create a council of his home and to choose the chairman. That is the official representative of the Chairman of the apartment building, he supervises the work of the management company, shall sign all acts of acceptance, shall keep such records, reports to the residents. The Mayor of Igor Pushkarev, commissioned to study the issue of creating Vladivostok Board superintendent, as the next step to tighten control in the field of public utilities.
«Public control of the processes in the housing sector should be strengthened, — Explained Igor Pushkarev — for the leadership of our country has all the necessary prerequisites. I propose to study the establishment of the Council in our city superintendent. This Council can enter chairman of the Council of apartment buildings, condominiums, housing cooperatives, and heads of other organizations established for the joint owners of the content of the common property of a house. They can share a live experience of managing apartment buildings, control the operation of management companies, repair, set up working groups and more. That is not to act alone, as agreed. Council housing managers can become a collective authority, where you can complain about where you can find professional help. »
As emphasized Igor Pushkarev, people are willing and able to put in their homes and yards order. The task of the administration — to help them to do this with the tools to which they protect themselves from unscrupulous management companies, and learn to use the opportunities offered by the Housing Code.
In the near future the draft Regulations on the Board of the superintendent of Vladivostok will be posted on the official website of the city administration on the page of a municipal school «house manager.» Everyone will be able to read it and make suggestions.
