Behind the long name lie new work standards for management organizations: management companies, housing cooperatives and homeowners' associations. On 32 pages of typewritten text, it is described in detail what and how they should do for our comfortable life in apartment buildings. Grass in the yard - no higher than 10 cm, cleaning the porch - at least 2 times a day, dialing the emergency dispatch service - no more than 5 minutes, etc. Customer service centers in management organizations must be equipped with ventilation and toilet rooms, have terminal for paying for services and stands with access to the GIS housing and communal services and to the management company website. According to representatives of the Ministry of Construction, compliance with these quality standards will become subject to licensing. If the management company complies with them, it works; if it does not comply, it loses its license.

What's new?

Here are just some of the operating rules of the Criminal Code listed in the new bill.

And who will pay for comfort?

It would seem that tightening the requirements for management companies is a good thing. Our editorial office receives many complaints about the inaction of the management company: in winter the snow is not removed from the yards, in the summer the grass is not mowed, the light bulbs in the entrance do not light, the stairs are not washed, the garbage is not taken out, it is impossible to get through to utility workers... There are really a lot of complaints. People will only be happy if the authorities force the Criminal Code to work better. However, experts in the field of housing and communal services were not too optimistic about the new law and say that if it is adopted in its current form, the cost of maintenance and routine repairs of the house will jump sharply.

“Let's create Swiss lawns in the courtyards with grass no higher than 10 cm, we'll wash the porch twice a day... And at least we'll put fountains at every house. The question is, who will pay for this increased comfort of service? — says Vera Moskvina, executive director of the Management Guild. — Management companies are not volunteer organizations. Owners (and today 90% of our housing is owned) order management services and pay for them. This is a contractual relationship. More work means higher pay. Are residents ready to pay more?! And with the new standards that we are asked to fulfill for the same money, not a single management company will survive. In addition, this is an excellent reason for penalties. That is, a state housing inspector will come to the yard, measure the grass and, if it is higher than 10 cm, issue a fine of 250 thousand rubles. Why mock business like that?”

“Our prices for housing services today are very different. There are houses that pay only 10-12 rubles. per square meter, and there are those who pay more than 100 rubles. Some owners, in order to reduce the cost of maintaining the house, for example, refuse the service of washing floors in the entrance and instead of the management company, they themselves take turns doing this. This is their right and their choice,” says Svetlana Razvorotneva, executive director of the NP Housing and Communal Services Control. — I think that the new bill still requires revision and broad discussion among public activists and utility workers. In my opinion, it has a lot of redundant requirements. However, some important points were not included in the document. I would like there to be more rules regarding the principles of interaction between owners and management companies, so that they become more transparent. But our owners often cannot get information from the management company about how much certain house maintenance services actually cost. And this is done deliberately! Because often old houses are subsidized at the expense of new ones. That is, people in new houses pay money, part of which goes not to maintain their housing, but to maintain the neighboring dilapidated house, which is also maintained by their management company.”

10. The emergency dispatch service carries out daily (current) control over the operation of in-house engineering systems of apartment buildings, quality control of utility resources at the interface between elements of in-house engineering systems and centralized networks of engineering support, round-the-clock registration and monitoring of implementation within the time limits established by paragraph 13 of these Rules, applications from owners and users of premises in apartment buildings on issues related to the provision of utilities, the maintenance of common property in an apartment building, the provision of services and the performance of work on the maintenance and repair of common property in an apartment building, as well as the elimination of faults and damage to internal engineering systems and the fulfillment of other obligations of the management organization provided for in the management agreement for an apartment building, other obligations of a partnership or cooperative for the management of an apartment building, and takes prompt measures to ensure the safety of citizens in the event of emergency situations or the threat of their occurrence.

“On approval of a directory of new and promising professions in demand on the labor market, including those requiring secondary vocational education” The Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation approved specialties for which employers are advised to take into account special requirements when implementing personnel policies and training employees.

What are professional standards

The directory consists of the names of professions with their brief descriptions and requirements for education and work experience. To develop these professional standards you should be guided by Order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia No. 831 of November 2, 2015 “On approval of the list of the 50 most in demand in the labor market, new and promising professions requiring secondary vocational education.”

Professional standards were developed in accordance with Article 195.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. This directory contains characteristics and qualification requirements for workers in the housing and communal services sector. The directory contains a list of job titles for workers in the housing and communal services sector and management of apartment buildings with reference to the legal acts regulating them.

On July 1, 2016, Federal Law No. 122 of May 2, 2015 “On Amendments to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and Articles 11 and 73 of the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation” comes into force.

This Federal Law establishes the obligation for employers to apply these professional standards to the employee’s qualifications necessary to perform their duties, if this is established by the legislation of the Russian Federation. Otherwise the data professional standards will be of a advisory nature only.

The document clarifies the concept of professional standards. The term is understood as “characteristics of the qualifications necessary for an employee to carry out a certain type of professional activity, including the performance of a certain labor function.”

Also, the Government of the Russian Federation has the right to oblige the application of the requirements of professional standards for state extra-budgetary funds, state (municipal) institutions and unitary enterprises, state corporations and companies, as well as business entities with a state (municipal) share of over 50%.

Explanations from the Ministry of Labor

The Ministry of Labor on issues of mandatory application of professional standards refers to clause 3 of Article 1 of Federal Law No. 122 of 02.05. 2015, according to which the Labor Code of the Russian Federation will be supplemented with Article 195.3 “Procedure for the application of professional standards.”

This article states that the qualification characteristics contained in professional standards and the mandatory application of which are not established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, other Federal Laws or regulations, should be taken by employers as the basis for determining the requirements for employee qualifications. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the duties performed by employees in the workplace.

You can familiarize yourself with the contents of professional standards in the corresponding Register maintained by the Ministry of Labor. The register is posted on the Ministry of Labor website, as is other information about professional standards.

The professional standards approved by the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation are regulations. The mandatory application of the requirements of professional standards is established for cases provided for in Articles 57 and 195.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, regardless of the form of ownership of the organization and the status of the employer. In other words, only in terms of the requirements established in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, other Federal Laws, and other legal acts, the requirements of the professional standard are mandatory.

The entry into force of professional standards does not serve as a basis for the dismissal of workers. But the employer can conduct certification of employees. For example, when applying qualification reference books and professional standards, employees without special training or the required work experience, but with sufficient practical experience, who conscientiously carry out the full range of work assigned to them, on the recommendation of the certification commission, are appointed to the appropriate positions equal to employees with special training and work experience .

For non-application or incorrect application of professional standards, the employer may be issued an order to eliminate identified violations of labor legislation. In case of gross violations, the employer may be subject to administrative responsibility according to Article 5.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation in the form of a fine:

  • for officials - from 1 to 5 thousand rubles;
  • for persons carrying out entrepreneurial activities without forming a legal entity - from 1 to 5 thousand rubles;
  • for legal entities - from 30 to 50 thousand rubles.

The expert talks about the main reasons for the ineffectiveness of management companies in the housing and communal services sector, the lack of the ability of the population to pay for quality services, the decline of the sector as a whole, as well as ways to solve the problem.

The Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation proposed to create a list of service standards for management companies in the housing and communal services sector. Officials want to establish such a detailed list of requirements that it is supposed to even include uniform parameters for utility workers. Meanwhile, some time ago, officials already established GOST standards for this industry.


Sergey Krekov, head of the board of trustees of the Association of Real Estate Service Companies.

It is now almost impossible to take away licenses from unscrupulous companies.

- Why is this being done? Are service standards really that bad these days?

— The essence is in the quality of the services provided and the integrity of the one who provides them. This is one of the key elements of the system, which should change the overall balance of power - break the stable trend that has long been taking place in the housing and communal services sector. Now we understand who is present on the market, what they are called and where they are located - before this was not even the case.

Licensing has been in effect in the country for a year and a half; there are 18 thousand legal entities operating, of which 6 thousand are legal entities that exist on paper, but do not manage the housing stock. To date, only two licenses have been revoked. In this case, the revocation of a license can only be achieved through judicial procedure. In the summer, [the professional community] discussed the mechanism for canceling the judicial procedure for revoking licenses from unscrupulous management organizations, while the opinion was voiced that it was proposed to delegate the revocation procedure itself to municipal and regional authorities. And there was a general understanding of possible administrative regulation of the industry, but due to the lack of an acceptable solution to the problem, everything stopped. And now a new version of the same approach is being proposed - these are the service standards. I think that the new initiative will lead to the same solution - to create a simpler mechanism for revoking licenses from unscrupulous management companies.

— Can you give blatant examples of dishonesty of management companies?

- There are a lot of them. I’ll give you the most relevant one: in Krasnoyarsk (if interested, anyone can contact the media) the management company collected money from residents for some time, and then the management disappeared and the organization declared itself bankrupt. And this case is not isolated. This initiative is an attempt to change the market situation through regulatory mechanisms, as well as to simplify the procedure for revoking licenses from managers. In addition, control authorities will have tools and certain tools to clearly prove violations.

The main reasons for the inefficiency of management companies

— According to the Minister of Housing and Communal Services, this list may include the minimum number of works, the deadline for their completion, as well as the response time to consumer requests - what is the point of making these particular changes?

— There are several reasons why management services for apartment buildings (MCD) are provided inappropriately. I would like to focus on the key ones. One of them is, of course, the dishonesty of management companies, which a priori do not set themselves the task of providing services at the proper level, which causes complaints from the owners of apartment buildings. The second objective reason that affects the activities of conscientious management companies is economic. I'm talking about the tariffs at which management companies operate (especially in Moscow, where they have hardly been indexed for more than five years, and for the last two years they have been indexed by only 4%), there are virtually no economic opportunities for high-quality provision of services. Therefore, the introduction of standards and requirements for the quality of work performed may encounter certain difficulties.

Only a small part of the population is willing to pay for quality housing and communal services

— What difficulties are we talking about?

“We will prescribe standards and requirements, give characteristics by which we can measure all these parameters and, perhaps, even include them in the license revocation mechanism, but the question is different. New GOSTs can lead us to the following paradigm: a bona fide management company that provides services to owners, in order to perform all the work prescribed in GOST, needs someone to pay for it. A similar situation may arise in the residential real estate service sector. The question is not whether standards can or cannot be written, the question is different: is the consumer ready to pay for them today?

I am convinced that the implementation of standards will put the economic issue at the forefront, and we will put conscientious management companies in front of a very difficult choice: meet the standards and incur losses, or do not meet the standards and have acceptable economics of managing a house, make a profit, but thereby bear the risk of recall licenses. I am confident that the vast majority of entrepreneurs who are involved in this business will choose the second option. And this suggests that GOST cannot be implemented when implemented, because there will be no economic prerequisites for its implementation in the practical sphere, and it will not be possible to be profitable.

Today the situation is as follows: most apartment buildings are inhabited by people with different income levels. Of course, it will be more difficult for socially vulnerable segments of the population to find money to pay for services that will be provided under the new rules. And for business-class or premium-level houses, all this will be quite acceptable. On the other hand, the wider population may face a problem: people will want quality service at affordable prices, but management companies will ask them to pay for these services at market value.

The best way out of this situation is to select managers on a competitive basis

- In which direction should we look for a way out? What should you do to build optimal relationships?

— Within the AKON Association, a model of the “Institute of Trust Management” has been developed. It allows you to solve a basic fundamental question: how to form legal relations in the process of managing a facility and order services on a competitive basis.

The essence of the concept: powers of attorney are collected from residents to participate in a meeting of home owners (the power of attorney template is approved by Order No. 411 of the Ministry of Construction), a tender is announced, and a management organization is selected on a competitive basis. And now everything is formed not on a competitive basis, but according to the principle of calculation, as it was in the USSR: the tariffs of management companies have nothing to do with the market economy. And you need to understand that when choosing a company on a competitive basis, tariffs will be lower due to competition. The model with trust management and competitive selection of management organizations forms a market system for the provision of services. With such a system, the owner will be able to choose quality or the minimum tariff.

Unfortunately, now there are houses where only people who have very little money live. They do not have the funds for high standards; it is important for them to pay the minimum. Many residents generally want to refuse to invite cleaners, they say: we don’t need to wash the staircase, we will do it ourselves, draw a schedule, give us only the lowest tariff that can be. Taking into account this specificity, it is necessary to formulate the market nature of relations. A customer who has a budget needs some services, another customer needs others.

I would like to remind you that about two years ago GOST standards for the management of apartment buildings were approved. This is a fairly detailed document. When they were accepted, they said that in combination with licensing we will receive quality control mechanisms in the provision of housing and communal services. Everything is spelled out in these documents. GOSTs were developed with the participation of the Ministry of Construction, which is going to formalize new standards for management companies. And here a reasonable question arises: how will these standards be better than GOST? Why will they work better?

The models proposed by the Ministry of Construction do not solve the issue

— It turns out that all accepted GOST standards are not observed?

— Yes, not only GOSTs, nothing works at all! Basic principles don't work. It’s generally not easy for people to come to an agreement: husband and wife often quarrel, but there’s a whole house here. All the models proposed by the Ministry of Construction no longer solve the problem. It is not necessary to deal with quality, but to work on models that change approaches to management. In my opinion, the main problem is the lack of a single customer, and from the moment the residents try to come to an agreement among themselves, a real bacchanalia begins. If a single customer starts working, he will develop a technical specification and determine its cost based on a public competition for a specific house, taking into account the wishes of the residents. There are two ways to solve the problem: the first is where all powers are transferred to the state, the second is collective trust management. In my opinion, the second one is better: entrust all SROs (self-regulatory organizations), which will work for residents by proxy, representing their interests.
