The lawyer warned about fines for garbage at the door in the entrance

Leaving garbage bags at the door of an apartment in an apartment building may result in administrative liability. Depending on the nature of the violation, residents face fines ranging from several hundred to tens of thousands of rubles. Ilya Vasilchuk, a judicial lawyer and an expert on the security of electronic transactions and real estate transactions, told Izvestia on March 11.

According to him, such actions can be considered as a violation of sanitary and epidemiological requirements for the operation of residential premises. In this case, responsibility comes under art. 6.4 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, which provides for a fine for citizens from 500 to 1 thousand rubles.

"If the garbage is recognized as a fire hazard or it is located on the evacuation routes, liability may already occur under Article 20.4 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. In this case, the fine for citizens is from 5 to 15 thousand rubles," Vasilchuk explained.

The expert noted that the obligation to maintain housing in proper condition lies with the apartment owner. He must comply with the rules for the use of residential premises and not violate the rights of neighbors. Even if tenants or guests left the trash, the responsibility may fall on the apartment owner if he did not take measures to eliminate the violation.

The amount of sanctions also depends on the status of the violator. For legal entities, the fines are much higher: according to art. 6.4 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, they can reach 20 thousand rubles, and in some cases it is possible to suspend activities for up to 90 days.

The parliamentarians also propose to ban darkstores and quests in residential buildings.

To confirm the fact of a violation, photos and videos with the date and time, as well as testimony from neighbors, are usually used. Additional evidence may be the recordings of security cameras in the entrance, if they are directed to common areas.

Vasilchuk stressed that the management company or HOA is required to ensure the cleanliness of the common areas of the house, including stairwells and entrances. If residents report a violation, the organization must conduct explanatory work with the violator and take measures to eliminate the garbage. In case of inaction of the Criminal Code, residents have the right to contact the housing inspectorate.

You can also send a complaint to Rospotrebnadzor in case of violation of sanitary standards or to the Ministry of Emergency Situations if garbage poses a fire hazard or blocks evacuation routes. In case of systematic conflicts, it is allowed to appeal to the district police officer or to the court, including demanding compensation for moral damage.

The expert added that such situations should be solved exclusively by legal means. Attempts to "punish" neighbors on their own, damage their property, or stage retaliatory provocations can lead to responsibility for the initiator of the conflict.

On March 8, Andrey Moiseev, Associate Professor of the Department of Civil Law at Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, said that residents of apartment buildings could be fined up to 15,000 rubles for storing wheelchairs and bicycles that interfere with the passage of other neighbors or pose a threat. The expert also added that the prohibitions on cluttering are fixed in the acts of the State Construction.
