This information will allow us to more effectively develop legislative innovations which first of all should be aimed at preventing possible risks in the field of capital repairs of apartment buildings he stressed.Speaking about the work on updating regional programs in 2020 the senator informed that for the period of 2020 the regional programs additionally included 9.2 thousand apartment buildings and at the same time excluded 11.3 thousand houses that are emergency and are not subject to the planned capital repair. Thus at present the regional programs include 724 thousand 200 apartment buildings.At the same time Arkady Chernetsky drew attention to the fact that in the regional programs apartment buildings remain the carrying out of major repairs in which is accompanied by certain risks. For example houses the physical wear and tear of the main structural elements of which exceeds 70 percent. - this is 13 thousand 600 houses 1.9 percent of the total houses-objects of cultural heritage - more than 9 thousand houses 1.2 percent.At the same time the senator called an increase in the number of houses that are simultaneously included in regional programs and in the registers of emergency housing stock as an alarming trend in 2020 an increase of 47.5 percent - 728 apartment houses.

In this situation we must develop such provisions to establish a balance of interests of new participants in the boiler system and those owners who patiently form a fund for capital repairs and wait for the deadline for its implementation in accordance with the program the senator said.The participants in the meeting of the working group also considered other issues including the issue of replacing elevators and elevator equipment the need for additional financial support from the federal budget for these purposes.
