Who is responsible for repairing roads in yards. How to improve your yard at state expense Program for improving yard areas

In the Moscow region, the results of public Internet voting for the improvement of courtyard areas in 2018 were summed up; 1,461 courtyards were included in the address list of landscaping, reports the press service of the Ministry of Housing and Communal Services of the Moscow Region.

As explained in the press service, from October 17 to 27, on the regional Internet portal “Dobrodel”, on behalf of the Governor of the Moscow Region Andrei Vorobyov, the Ministry of Housing and Communal Services of the Moscow Region organized a popular Internet vote of residents for the inclusion of courtyard areas in 2018. On Tuesday, a briefing on the voting results was held at the regional Government House.

“Such voting is the government’s absolute guarantee to residents that their wishes regarding the improvement of their yards will be fulfilled in full. This know-how of digital voting in housing and communal services allows people to be socially in demand and take an active civic position, because the voice of each resident will be taken into account when forming a targeted program and will not allow some municipal officials to, as they say, “wash out” addresses and follow the line of least resistance when financing the improvement of courtyard areas,” said Evgeny Khromushin, Minister of Housing and Communal Services of the Moscow Region, at a briefing, as quoted by the press service.

According to the press service, thanks to a massive information campaign in the media, social networks, and at meetings of owners, people took part in the voting.

“Residents cast their votes for 3,968 households out of 8,098 that were publicly displayed. The address list of courtyard areas planned for comprehensive improvement in 2018 included 1,461 courtyard areas; it was formed from two sources. The first part included 673 courtyards based on voting results, the other part included 788 courtyard territories included on behalf of the President of the Russian Federation and the Governor of the Moscow Region, as well as on the basis of citizens’ appeals to local governments, on the recommendation of the State Technical Supervision Authority of the Moscow Region, taking into account the opinion of the Association chairmen of the councils of apartment buildings in the Moscow region,” said Evgeny Khromushin.

According to him, the statistics of voters are completely relevant, since all voting participants confirmed their identity using a unified identification and authentication system (USIA). It is noteworthy that almost half of all voters (11 thousand people) supported the idea of personal labor participation in the improvement of their yard.

As the press service clarified, the residents of Balashikha showed the greatest activity in voting - 2848 votes, Domodedovo - 1693 votes, Podolsk - 1268 votes.

The online voting lasted ten days. All courtyard areas of the Moscow region took part in the voting, with the exception of courtyards that were already comprehensively landscaped from 2015 to 2017, and courtyards that were put into operation no later than 2013, as well as courtyards that include apartment buildings planned for resettlement in the next seven years, the press release explains.

After the final address list of courtyard areas that will be improved in 2018 is formed, it is planned to hold discussions with residents about the types of work that will take place directly in the courtyard areas. Based on the results of each meeting, acts of approval of types of work will be drawn up with the obligatory signature of a representative of the public and residents. A diagram of the yard indicating the location of the elements to be landscaped and the types of planned work will be attached to the act. The verified improvement program for the next year will be published on the website of the regional Ministry of Housing and Communal Services, municipal websites and the media, the website menemdvory.rf, the material adds.

As the press service recalled, the Moscow region is one of the first subjects in the Russian Federation that organized a public vote of residents for the inclusion of courtyard areas in the plan for the comprehensive improvement of courtyards. This spring, more than 8.2 thousand yards were voted on and proposed for improvement on the Dobrodel portal. Then 130 courtyards that received the largest number of votes from residents were additionally included in the comprehensive improvement program in 2017.

“According to the law “On improvement in the Moscow region”, in the Moscow region at least 10% of the courtyards of the courtyards inventoried by municipalities are being landscaped. In total, this year’s comprehensive improvement program includes 1,460 courtyards; as of today, work on the remaining courtyards will be completed in the next few days,” summed up Evgeniy Khromushin.

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 federal funding will be spent on landscaping yards. Therefore, citizens have a good opportunity to obtain financing 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

Local governments must develop and publish by April 1, 2017 draft municipal program for improvement of local 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, and 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 the 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 the general meeting of 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 compulsory health 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 work and activities.

The design project must not violate the rights of third parties or interfere with the passage of utility lines. 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 people with limited mobility.

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 improvement of courtyard areas is part of the large-scale state program “Formation of a comfortable urban environment.” The improvement of places where citizens spend a large amount of free time began in 2018 and should finally be completed by 2022. The main scope of work to solve problems in the courtyards of Russian high-rise buildings is planned for 2019-2020. It is important that when choosing a project for the reconstruction of objects, the last word will be with the users of courtyard areas, that is, with the residents. Those wishing to bring the area near their house into proper shape should hurry up and submit the appropriate application.

The essence of the program

Until recently, most of the courtyards in the cities and towns of Russia were in deplorable condition. Children's sports complexes and public gardens, preserved from the times of the Soviet Union, have long since fallen into disrepair and require reconstruction or complete replacement. The reason for this situation lies in the lack of funds for the installation and maintenance of modern facilities. Until 2018, yard improvement work was carried out exclusively at the expense of local budgets. As you know, the main expenditures of regional funds are spent on social needs, and practically nothing is left for improvement. The problem is especially acute in small municipalities. The government decided to correct the current situation by introducing a unique state program “Formation of a comfortable urban environment.”

According to the approved program, areas near residential buildings and public areas will be built according to new projects. The lion's share of all costs will be borne by the government and allocated money from the federal budget. Regional authorities are responsible for correctly distributing them among cities and regions. It is important to understand that municipalities will receive money from the state treasury only after the development and approval of their own improvement program.

The direct participation of citizens in choosing a project for a particular yard is the main feature of the state program. Residents of apartment buildings themselves have the right to decide how the area near their home will be equipped. Meanwhile, the law provides for two types of work: minimal and additional. The first includes a standard set of services:

installation of benches and trash cans;
repair of sidewalks within the yard;
equipment of a modern lighting system.

At the request of the users of courtyard areas, it is possible to carry out additional work within the framework of the program. For example,

equip playgrounds for children of different ages;
provide areas for adults to relax;
organize places for walking pets;
carry out landscaping of areas (planting hedges, installing small architectural forms);
allocate space and equip parking spaces for residents and guests.

Since courtyard space is limited, residents need to make their own choice between one solution or another.

Important. If they wish to carry out work from the additional list, citizens will need to make their contribution. You can participate in the improvement of your yard through financial subsidies, and you need to pay at least 5% of the cost of repairs. An option is allowed when residents invest labor resources instead of money. For example, they paint the site themselves or plant trees themselves. Financial participation does not always mean that citizens will have to pay money out of their own pockets. Previously paid and accumulated funds from the capital repair fund can be spent for these purposes.

How to become a participant in the program

The creation of a comfortable public space, equipped from a practical and aesthetic point of view, as part of an improvement program is possible only for residents of apartment buildings. It is legally determined that settlements with a population of more than 1,000 people can participate in the program. At the same time, only the yard where residents express their desire and submit an application will be included in the program. Consent to improvement under the “Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment” program implies that residents are ready to co-finance the costs of developing the territory and further ensure its maintenance. The concept for landscaping the yard should be proposed by the municipality. And residents have the right to choose one direction or another at their own discretion.

In order to get into the federal program you must:

Get acquainted with the improvement plans for the desired period. This can be done on the official website "urban environment". Applications are generated in the current year for the next year. That is, in order for the work to be completed in 2020, you must submit an application before the end of 2019.
Contact the district authorities with a desire to join the program or simply complain about the mess in the yard. As practice shows, in response to an appeal, a letter will be sent with an official offer to take part in the federal project.
Organize a meeting of residents of those houses to which a specific territory belongs. By voting, citizens decide to participate in the program or not. If the decision is positive, it is necessary to select a group of people who can do organizational and “paper” work. Together, residents must decide on the amount of funding.
The initiative group is drawing up a sketch plan for the future vacation spot. In this case, it is important, if possible, to take into account all the wishes of the residents expressed at the first meeting. In the preliminary design, it is necessary to schematically outline the new yard, with existing objects and new ones planned for construction. Most often, residents turn to specialized companies to draw up a sketch. It would be good if the residents chose a responsible citizen who would agree to work on approving the project.

As the draft plan is being prepared, resident activists collect a complete package of documents to send to the administration. In addition to the diagram, it includes: an inventory passport of the yard, information about the collection of utilities, an estimate, and minutes of the meeting of the residents’ meeting.

If the project is approved by the commission, then the next step is to select a company that will perform the work. The competition to select a contractor is usually held by a management company. Most often they choose the company with the least amount for the work.
During the work, residents are advised to monitor their quality. If any defects are found, it is important to indicate them in the acceptance certificate for the work performed.

As a rule, the arrangement work requires no more than one month. In the future, residents need to maintain the new yard in order. Let us remind you that courtyards renovated under the federal program after 2022 will be transferred to the balance of the residents. You can service public areas on your own or enter into an agreement with a specialized company.

For information. Applications for participation are reviewed by the construction department of a specific region. At this stage, the completeness of the package of documents and the correctness of execution are checked. After this, the applications that have passed the selection are sent to the competition of the public commission for the district. The assessment is made on a 100-point scale. The evaluation criteria are the following: the percentage of co-financing of citizens, the number of objects (the more, the better), the absence or presence of debts to pay for services.

How to take part in the program for landscaping courtyard areas in 2019-2020: video

The governor’s program “Our Moscow Region,” within the framework of which municipalities are installing, has already been almost half completed, reports the press service of the Ministry of Housing and Communal Services of the Moscow Region.

As the press service recalled, Governor Andrei Vorobyov’s extensive program “Our Moscow Region” for the installation of modern equipment is being implemented in the Moscow region.

“To date, 82 children’s playgrounds out of 101 have been installed as part of the first stage, work is being completed on another 16 playgrounds, and we can say that almost half of the program has already been implemented. Now we have begun implementing the second stage of the program, within which three out of 76 have already been installed, the program has gained serious momentum, we are opening several playgrounds a day,” the message quotes the Minister of Housing and Communal Services of the Moscow Region, Evgeniy Khromushin.

This year there are five playground suppliers, so, according to Khromushin, there is a wide choice of themes and set of play elements.

“By the way, the production of all elements of children’s playgrounds, from bolts and rivets to rubberized shockproof coating and complex geometry of plastic forms of slides and swings, is located in the Moscow region,” the minister added.

According to the press service, the priority areas for the implementation of the program are the installation of such complexes in subsidized municipalities, science cities, closed administrative-territorial entities, former military towns, which were transferred to the ownership of municipalities from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

“As part of this governor’s program, for the first time we have installed play complexes, including those adapted to the needs of children with disabilities. Such sites already exist in Ivanteevka, Balashikha, Mozhaisk, ZATO Vlasikha and in a number of other municipalities. All such children's playgrounds use shock-absorbing, injury-proof, rubberized coating, which minimizes the risk of injury and bruises in children. All elements of the playgrounds are made of modern materials that have all the necessary certificates, and also comply with all GOST requirements, and are absolutely safe for children. After installation, the adjacent territory of all playgrounds is landscaped by utility services, illuminated, video surveillance is installed, then the site is transferred to the balance of the municipality,” noted Khromushin.

As noted in the material, Governor Andrei Vorobyov recently decided to expand this year’s program, increasing the number of sites to 200 sites (initially it was planned to install 190 sites).

The governor's program to install new playgrounds has been implemented in the Moscow region for the fourth year in a row. In the period from 2013 to 2016, almost 320 modern children's playgrounds have already been installed as part of the Our Moscow Region program. In addition, more than 3.5 thousand playgrounds were installed, replaced and repaired by municipalities under the program of comprehensive improvement of courtyard areas, the message concludes.

Residents of an apartment building own not only their apartments, but also common property, which includes the adjacent territory, common areas, and utility and communication networks. In order for the courtyards and roads near the house to become the property of the residents, their official transfer is necessary.

If such a procedure has not been carried out, the territory will be considered municipal property. Common or municipal property also requires regular maintenance, periodic repairs, and landscaping work, just like the area of apartments.

Maintenance of apartment buildings is carried out by Management Companies, but it is not always known who is engaged in the repair of adjacent areas and their landscaping? Should residents do this at their own expense or is this the responsibility of the management company or municipal authorities? Repairing courtyard areas of apartment buildings is an important condition for creating a comfortable and safe area around the house.

Government program

ATTENTION! In the period from 2018 to 2022, there is a program providing for the improvement of local areas.

It will improve living conditions in an apartment building, change the appearance of courtyards for the better, and create a large number of children's and sports grounds inside the courtyard.

The government is allocating a huge amount of money, 20 billion, to implement the program. They are divided between regions, and at the local level management will plan their further targeted use.

In this way, the government helps residents of apartment buildings quickly and at a modern level to landscape their yards, but then the owners of the apartments will have to pay for their maintenance. If residents of apartment buildings have already accepted courtyards into common property, they have already transferred funds under the column “house maintenance.”

The allocation of funds under the program also implies the development of regional programs; residents can already participate in this process.

When developing a municipal program, those courtyards that are most in need of repair and improvement of the local area will be identified. From 2022, at the end of the program, those areas that will be renovated will become the property of the residents of the apartment complex.

They will have to pay for their maintenance and repairs. If further repairs are needed, at the general meeting of the owners of the apartment building, a list of works that are planned to be carried out in the area near the house is approved; the apartment owners can make their own additions and express their opinions.

A representative from the house will monitor those who are repairing the yard and the quality of all work. Residents decide how much personal money they are willing to spend on improvements.

Where to contact

If residents of an apartment building want to become a participant in the government program, they must first create an initiative group for this:

This group discusses the list of works, assesses the condition of the yard, and draws up its diagram.
Then a general meeting of apartment owners is held, at which all issues regarding repairs are discussed and a protocol is drawn up.
After the OS, the initiative group submits an application to participate in the program. You can find a sample for such an application on housing and communal services resources, on the municipality website

The yard drawing should include the various structures present, as well as an indication of those that would be desired as a result of the landscaping work. But it is important that all planned work meets the parameters and capabilities of the municipal program.

The application submitted to the municipality will be considered by a special commission, then the residents of the house (or it may be several houses with a territory uniting them) are presented with design projects to choose from. Contractors are being selected for landscaping work, and the initiative group will be able to control them.

According to the program, it is possible not only to pave the local area, but also to build sports and children's playgrounds on it, carry out lighting, landscaping, and other important processes.

After completing the work according to the program, as required by law, maintenance of courtyards and access roads to an apartment building can be carried out both by the residents themselves and by the management company or HOA that maintains the building itself.

Road repair

Almost every year, at the end of the winter period, the pressing issue of repairing the access road to a residential building arises. Snow and ice have a destructive effect on the road surface, especially if it was laid poorly, not in accordance with GOST; by spring, huge holes are exposed, due to which cars are damaged and sometimes people are injured.

Often after winter it is necessary to repair sidewalks. Who is responsible for the roads in the yards and at whose expense should they be repaired?

To repair roads and sidewalks in your yard, you can contact the municipal authorities, but they often act slowly, sometimes even ignoring the request. What should residents do in this case? First you need to find out exactly who should repair roads in the courtyards of certain houses:

If the road is a common property, its Management Company is responsible for repairs. She must know the boundaries of the local area of the apartment building being serviced; this must be indicated in the technical passport of the house.
If the territory is urban and is not part of the common property of residents, the local city government is responsible for its repair and maintenance.

The responsibility of the municipality to monitor city property, including roads, is determined by Federal Law No. 196 (Article 12, paragraph 2).

In order for the municipality to begin repairing its property in the courtyard of the house, that is, the road, you need to draw up an application and submit it to the local authorities. Such a collective appeal is drawn up in two copies, its receipt must be registered. Municipal authorities must consider the application within a month.

ATTENTION! If local authorities refuse to repair their access roads leading to residential buildings, residents have the right to go to court.

Quality requirements

There are approved standards regarding the quality of roads in the courtyards of apartment buildings. These standards even indicate the permissible width, depth, and length of potholes on the road in the yard. The width of the hole cannot exceed 60 cm, and the depth of 5 cm. More serious damage is dangerous for cars that will move on such a road surface.

Housing cooperative

Members of the housing construction cooperative at the general meeting also jointly decide all issues related to the improvement of the house and its territory.

Residents must decide how much money they can allocate for road repairs and how it will be carried out - on their own or with the help of contractors.

If apartment owners in housing cooperatives themselves carry out repair work to improve access roads and sidewalks, they must comply with the requirements of Articles 153, 154,158 of the Housing Code.

When a house is serviced by a management company, she is obliged to carry out repair work in the local area, because the owners of the apartments transfer her a certain amount on monthly payments for improvement.

Kinds

Current and major repairs can be carried out in the local area:

The current one involves repair work aimed at eliminating damage and partially restoring the territory. It is usually performed once a year. Residents can decide for themselves (if the territory is in common property) what processes will be performed during routine repairs.
Partial restoration of sidewalks, access roads, and alleys can be carried out. Children's playgrounds and sports grounds are being restored, fences are being repaired, areas for garbage containers and the containers themselves are being restored.
Major repairs involve the complete replacement of the road surface and various elements of the local area. Access roads are being restored, fences are being replaced or properly restored, and new playgrounds and sports grounds can be built.

Statement

An application with a request to repair the local area, access roads and sidewalks in the yard is submitted to the management of the Management Company, which under the contract maintains the house. At least half of the apartment owners must sign such a statement.

It must be registered and provided with the number of incoming documents. One copy of such a petition is kept by the applicants:

The letter indicates the name of the management company, information about the manager to whom the application is sent, information about the applicant, and his address.
The reasons why repairs are required are indicated, and the technical condition of the yard, roads, and sidewalks is described.
A set of works is listed that, in the opinion of residents, need to be performed for the high-quality improvement of the local area and the creation of safe conditions for its use.
The application must be accompanied by an inspection and inspection report of the territory and an expert’s opinion.
At the end there must be signatures of residents, in an amount of at least 50%.

You can also submit an application on the State Services website. It also indicates the grounds for repair work, the desired timing, and information about the applicant. This portal has a Capital Repair Fund tab, where you can leave your application in the form provided.

If the management company is inactive

Residents of apartment buildings should not be indifferent to the territory of their residence. It can be landscaped and landscaped with high quality and at a modern level. When carrying out repair work, not only the surface of sidewalks and roads is restored, but also cozy recreation areas are created, garbage areas and parking spaces for residents of the house are repaired.

IMPORTANT! If the Management Company receives funds for the maintenance and improvement of the building, it must fulfill its obligations and carry out repairs in full and without delay.

When the management company does not want to respond to the demands of residents and finds constant reasons for postponing yard repairs, its clients can first complain to the head of this organization. The complaint should provide arguments for repairs and legal provisions regarding the responsibilities of the Management Company. The management of the management company also does not take any measures?

The next authority for complaints is the Housing Inspectorate. This body issues operating licenses to Management Companies and therefore has a strong instrument of influence on them. The last step is to go to court and file a claim against the management company and its management.

The condition of the local area is not only a matter of aesthetics and comfort, but also of safety. Poor coverage of roads and sidewalks, poor-quality lighting, lack of landscaping - all these factors can negatively affect the health of apartment building residents, so it is imperative to seek repairs to create the best living conditions.
