Problems of installation of an air-conditioning and ventilation system on a facade of the apartment house

Abstract

The article deals with the legal regulation of the order of installation of external unit of air conditioning and ventilation system on the façade of an apartment building. In connection with the absence of the necessity to obtain a special permit for installation of air-conditioning system in the federal legislation and the diverse judicial practice on this question there are problems of housing owners’ rights realisation for such improvement of dwelling premises. During the study it was found that these legal relations are currently regulated, including by regional legislation, but it does not define the issue of approval of the installation of an external air conditioning system unit with other owners of the common property of the apartment building. Relevant is also the question of the possibility of defining the technical conditions for the installation of air conditioning system in the management contract of the apartment building, the need to obtain permission for the installation from the managing organisation. As a result of the analysis of the current legislation and materials of the judicial practice the conclusion on necessity of establishment of requirements to coordination of installation of the external block of the air conditioning system with other owners of the general property of the apartment house is made.
