The Ministry of Regional Development, in cooperation with the International Centre for Financial and Economic Development (ICFED), is launching an online automated information and reference system based on the Flats Management Acts. It will go live on August 1, 2013.
A working group tasked with systematising legal acts in the housing and utilities area has submitted to the Minister of Regional Development a pilot version of the system, which the ICFED developed under an information cooperation agreement it signed with the Ministry.
The system will accumulate regulatory and legal acts (laws, bylaws, agency regulations) related to the management of blocks of flats. The system assures an integrated approach to and systematisation of documents that regulate the management of blocks of flats, including water supply and drainage, gas, heat, and electricity supply, housing services, rehabilitation of building surrounding grounds, rubbish disposal and others.
The system’s hotline will enable residents to get expert advice on housing management, thereby forestalling mistakes and avoiding fines or undesirable financial consequences.
The system will enable residents both to access the legislative database and send proposals on improving legal regulation in this sphere and on the system’s further development to the Ministry of Regional Development.
This system is a precursor to the new information and reference system, Legal Acts in the Area of Housing and Utilities, which the working group has been developing pursuant to a set of presidential instructions resulting from a State Council meeting on May 31, 2013. Plans for the future are to integrate the system into the Housing and Utilities State Information System.
