Who is responsible for replacing risers in an apartment building?
Replacing old or damaged risers with new ones in apartment buildings is a very common issue that faces residents. When they encounter such situations, the question arises: where to turn, who should change the risers, at whose expense the work is being carried out, and also to whom and how to correctly write an application for repair work to replace sewer pipes with new ones? In accordance with the general rules for maintaining property in an apartment building, full responsibility for the technical condition of communal risers rests with the management company, and in its absence, with the housing office.
Residents must know that responsibility ends only at the section of pipe where the first drain valve from the riser is located. The basis for carrying out work to restore the functionality of the risers will be:.
The owner can independently change the heating risers in the apartment by hiring a third-party company that can take on this responsibility, or use the services of housing and communal services specialists. If it is not the pipes that need to be repaired or replaced, but the vertical risers, the housing office takes responsibility. The maintenance of communication risers at the entrance must be fully undertaken by the housing office.
But in practice, utility workers are not always willing to do this work. They often find reasons to shift responsibility onto the residents of the house. To avoid such a situation, it is necessary to contact the management company not verbally, but in writing.
The only exceptions are cases when the housing is not privatized and the work relates to major repairs. When replacing risers inside an apartment, you need to enlist the support of neighbors below and above. Payments for utilities and living space are charged monthly according to Art.

If the answer is negative, you need to require an inspection of communications with the drawing up of a report on their technical condition. In fact, risers are considered communal property, and the housing office is responsible for their safety and operation. But this is only in theory. In practice, it is the residents who have to deal with the problem of replacing risers. However, even after writing an application to the housing office or management company, the repair of risers may be transferred to the homeowners. At the moment, the Fund for Assistance to the Reform of Housing and Communal Services, under an article of Federal legislation, proposes to carry out repair work at the expense of the budget.

The risers are common property, so their repair, installation and replacement will be carried out free of charge for the owners, at the expense of the management company.

In what cases is it necessary to replace risers?
It may be necessary to replace risers in the following situations:
- At the end of the shelf life of the structure itself,
- When carrying out a complete renovation of a sanitary facility.
In Soviet-era houses, sewerage and water supply pipes are made of cast iron. This is quite reliable, but not the highest quality and durable material. Its service life is 25 years, but in practice such pipes last much longer. And this can lead to leaks, splits in the pipe, and, as a result, damage to personal property, property of neighbors and additional financial liability for eliminating the consequences of repairs.
Replacement of the riser can be carried out both in a planned mode (for example, in case of equipment wear) and in an emergency mode (in case of leaks and malfunctions). According to the rules, replacement of risers must be carried out in apartment buildings simultaneously on all floors or within three adjacent apartments. But in practice this cannot always be achieved; in this case, a partial replacement is carried out within the same apartment.
The procedure for replacing risers
- If there are signs of equipment malfunction, the owner should file a complaint with the management company or housing office. The text of the application should describe the problems noticed in the operation of the equipment and indicate a request for an inspection of the equipment. It would be a good idea to attach photographs of damage and defects, copies of property rights documents and extracts from the passport office on family composition to the application itself. The application is drawn up in two copies, one remains with the applicant, and the second - in the Criminal Code or Housing Office. When submitting an application, it is important not to forget to get a stamp on your copy indicating acceptance of the application from the responsible organization.
- In the event of an emergency, a repair team comes to the site and replaces the damaged riser.
- If the situation is not an emergency, representatives of the management company conduct an examination of the equipment and determine the degree of its unsuitability, and also make a conclusion about the need for repair work. Based on the examination, the specialist prepares a report, which includes a conclusion on the need for repairs, its stages and their order. The act will also reflect information about at whose expense this work should be carried out. Additionally, the date for repair work and replacement of damaged equipment is agreed upon with the owners.
- The replacement of risers will be carried out by a company that has a corresponding agreement with the management company. If the equipment belongs to the personal property of the owner, then he has the right to independently choose the person responsible for carrying out the work.
