Title: The Failed Promise: House No.7 in Chita's Molodezhny Microdistrict

Looks like the seventh house in Chita's Molodezhny microdistrict, meant to be a fresh start for those moving from dilapidated housing, has turned into a complete mess just a year after completion. A resident shared this frustrating tale with our site.

The developer, as you may have guessed, is the notorious LLC "Buriatprojectrestavratsiya", the same company that botched the reconstruction of the city's puppet theater.

"The key was handed over in May last year. Now we've got a leaking roof, broken ventilation, issues with heating and water supply. The management company 'Domashniy ochag' keeps telling us to contact the developer, saying the house is under warranty obligations. But the developer is pretty much inactive, on the brink of bankruptcy," the interviewee shared.

From April 2nd onwards, there's been no hot water. A pump bit the dust, the management company said they'd order a new one, but then came the excuses for nearly a month.

The regional Ministry of Construction said since the house isn't classified as dilapidated, it's not their problem, advising contacting the State Inspectorate. That agency, in turn, replied they didn’t sign contracts with the mentioned developer and thus lack the authority to act.

Differing Responsibilities:

1. Developer/Former Owner (LLC "Buriatprojectrestavratsiya"): Legally, they're in charge of construction quality and initial defects. If they're bankrupt, claims can still be made through court-appointed trustees, but recovery is uncertain if assets are depleted.
2. Homeowners Association (HOA)/Residents: Once they take ownership, maintenance falls to the HOA or property owners. Collective negligence in establishing a repair funding system could exacerbate issues.
3. Municipal Authorities: They must enforce housing standards and audit building conditions. If deemed unsafe, they can order repairs or relocation.
4. Regulatory/State Agencies: Lapses in oversight by Chita's local government or Gosstroynadzor could be a factor. Negligence by any party could be investigated by the Prosecutor’s Office.
5. Insurance/Construction Guarantees: Defects within the 5-year builder’s guarantee can be addressed through lawsuits against the developer—even bankrupt ones—via their bankruptcy estate. Insurance policies pertaining to structural faults should also be scrutinized.

Avenues for Residents:

1. Self-Certified Evidence: Hire independent inspectors to confirm safety violations.
2. Authority Petitions: Demand municipal audits under Article 20 of the Housing Code.
3. Legal Action: File collective lawsuits against the developer’s bankruptcy estate or negligent regulators.
4. Budget Proposals: Propose local budget allocations for urgent repairs.

Final Call: While the developer is initially at fault, responsibilities often become collective post-ownership transfer. Ongoing advocacy with local officials and courts is crucial to ensure accountability.
