Is it possible to do repairs on a day off? Law on repairs on weekends

Probably, the words "repair" and "neighbors" are not safe to combine even in one sentence. Both builders and tenants of multi-storey houses understand well what is being said. Can I make repairs on the weekend? This question, probably, was asked by many. After all, being in a situation where the song of a neighbor's drill simply does not allow you to rest on a single day off is not news. Or maybe you yourself are on the verge of an impending repair. Let's take a good look at when and how much you can make noise if you have already started repairing the apartment on weekends.

How not to break the law?

Anyone who is at least in some way connected with the construction, should be aware of all responsibility. Under the current laws, repair work can be started from 8.00 and finish them no later than 21.00. If this regime is not respected, consider that you are already violating the law and can be held accountable for this.

Repair of apartments on weekends and holidays is strictly prohibited. If nevertheless you need to do repairs, which involves noise, on Saturday or Sunday, you will have to schedule and coordinate it with your neighbors. Otherwise, they have every right to complain about you to the relevant authorities.

If you intend to do the redevelopment of the apartment or conversion, then for such work must be a permit. If the repair consists only in gluing the wallpaper or painting the windows (or conducting other silent manipulations), then it is not necessary to warn neighbors about this.

Concise conclusion

Let's sum up. Strictly forbidden:
- on any day of the week use tools that create noise exceeding permissible norms (40 decibels);
- conduct manipulations in the room, which can harm neighbors and nearby facilities;
- leave construction garbage in a public space and use elevators as lifts for building materials and garbage disposal after the completion of construction work;
- without the consent of neighbors to carry out repairs for more than four months.

Solution

If the above rules are not respected, you should first talk with your neighbors. If they do not respond to your request in any way, then you can go ahead and appeal with complaints not only to Moszhilinspektsiyu, but to the prosecutor's office. To resolve this issue, provide the opportunity to do the related services.

Penalties

If the neighbors exceed the level of permissible noise and do not stop repairing on weekends, the law "On Ensuring the Sanitary and Epidemic Wellbeing of the Population" presupposes the collection of fines from offenders. If a complaint has already been filed, the offender, according to the Code of Administrative Offenses, will be fined by the relevant authorities.

If the complaint is repeated, the fine will be doubled, and confiscation of items that create noise is possible, so it's better not to violate the law. Repair on weekends is not such an obligatory factor for carrying out repairs in general. If such cardinal actions do not stop the violators, then the case is transferred to the court and will be decided at this level.

You can always agree

I would also like to add that we are all tenants and builders. Although we deployed answering the question whether it is possible to do repairs on a day off, remember that there are different life situations.

Do not think that if the repair team is very noisy, it is because they are all nonhumans and just want to annoy you. Or if you need to put the baby to sleep during the day, and at that time the repair just grows, and with this sound it is impossible to fall asleep, do not be afraid, go to the neighbors and just talk to the builders. Explain to them that you have a small child, and he needs to sleep in the afternoon from 13.00 to 15.00, ask that at this time the builders were engaged in less noisy work (believe me, it will always be). Builders are also people, and they have families, children, they will certainly listen to your request!

Model the situation

We all understand that no repair can do without a certain noise. But not all neighbors can reconcile with this and get started, make scandals. Let's simulate the situation. You started a repair. They asked to quit their jobs, maybe they even blocked the riser from the water along the entire entrance. You hired a brigade, you may have already paid builders for work, but here in the midst of the rumbling and buzz comes an angry neighbor and begins to threaten. What to do in this case? Can I make repairs on the weekend? To reassure the neighbor, you need to be well aware of the laws that are tied to repair work.

Another situation

One more example. 9th May. We are watching a concert on TV. At work, everyone got it, finally, it's such a long-awaited day off. You lay down on the couch, and for a moment it even seemed that you were in paradise, but it was not there. The neighbor was also happy about the weekend, decided to arrange repairs and knock a jackhammer from you right above your head. And no persuasion and requests for this person do not work. He believes that he is right, but the rest does not interest him.

Compromise

As we can see from these two models, no law of repair at the weekend will cancel. Everyone can be on one and the other side. We, however, still need to learn how to find a way out of any most difficult situation, and it is desirable if this way is peaceful and takes into account the interests of both sides.

There is such a word as "compromise", and it needs to learn how to use it for its intended purpose. Scampering with neighbors is not the best prospect, because you will have to coexist with these people, perhaps for decades. Try to postpone radical measures to the furthest corner of your consciousness and apply them only when there is simply no other way out.

And finally

Can I make repairs on the weekend? Naturally, any person will answer that no. But if it touches you, and other time, except for the weekend, just do not highlight, when to engage in repair work? The answer is one. No law will protect you like you do. Just make an appointment. Do not forget to warn your neighbors about the upcoming repair. And if you are on the other side, be indulgent and talk to neighbors if you are greatly hampered by their noise. Laws and rights are present, but it is better not to bring the matter to court, but to understand amicably!
