This conversion requires permission from the MVK and the project - this is called re-equipment

7. What are the consequences of unauthorized redevelopment?

Most importantly, you need it yourself for 2 reasons:

FIRST REASON: when, let's say, you suddenly need to urgently sell, donate, exchange your apartment urgently. In this case, you invite PIB, and he encounters illegal redevelopment, and as a result, you order an urgent project and its approval, thereby losing money and time, and maybe the opportunity to profitably sell or exchange your apartment.

SECOND REASON: an apartment bought with a mortgage. Here, the bank itself will oblige you to put the documents in order. Some banks do take an obligation from you to “register the plans or return them as they were”, just do not forget that after the conclusion of the transaction, the bank usually checks the fulfillment of this obligation. In case of non-fulfilment, the bank has a reason to demand the return of the remaining loan amount ahead of schedule in full ...

If you decide to do unauthorized redevelopment, since obtaining permits is an expensive pleasure?
Then you should understand what consequences you can expect:
penalty: If your unauthorized redevelopment becomes known, you will be fined. The housing inspectorate imposes a fine, and its size is considerable - from 9,000 rubles (for an apartment) to 100,000 rubles (for an office);
requirement to obtain permission from the MVK: payment of a fine does not relieve you of the obligation to legalize the redevelopment. Therefore, you will be obliged to issue an MVK permit within 2-3 months. If you do not do it on time, you will be fined again;
sale of an apartment at auction: If you do not comply with the order, and refuse to authorize the redevelopment, you will be sued. According to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the court has the right to sell your premises at an auction (with the return of the difference between the cost of the apartment and the cost of repair work to bring the premises to their original state);
bringing the premises to their original state: If the redevelopment made by you does not comply with the norms of SNiP or other permitting authorities, then you will be obliged to pay a fine and bring the premises to its original state.

8. What are the restrictions on the redevelopment of apartments?

  • reduction or dismantling of ventilation boxes;
    deepening pipes into the walls (all communications must be provided with free access);
    an increase in the bathroom due to the kitchen;
    arrangement of a bathroom in place of a living room.

9. In what cases is it not allowed to re-equip and re-plan the premises?

  • leading to a violation of the strength or destruction of the supporting structures of the building, deterioration of safety and appearance facades, violation of fire-fighting devices, making it difficult to access engineering communications and disconnecting devices;
    worsening the conditions of operation and residence of all or individual citizens of a house or apartment;
    installation or reconstruction of partitions, if as a result a room is formed without natural light or without heating devices;

13. Is it possible to dismantle the hood?

  • No. Dismantling the hood or ventilation shaft is prohibited.

We have a narrow and long corridor. We want to put a closet in it and, accordingly, increase its area by expanding it by moving one wall into the room. Is it possible to do such a redevelopment and how to arrange it?

Answer: Yes, you can, if the wall is not load-bearing and the area of ​​​​the room is not below the established minimum dimensions.

Corridor redevelopment options

If the apartment has a narrow / small corridor, its area can be increased in one of the following ways:

  1. at the expense of the living room;
  2. at the expense of a part of the kitchen - a room (we are talking about a studio apartment).

What not to do:

  • expand the corridor by reducing the bathroom and the part of the kitchen in which the set is located, since this area belongs to the wet zone;
  • reduce the living room area below the minimum provided by the legislator for 1 person;
  • move walls if they are load-bearing;
  • make unauthorized redevelopment without obtaining permits from authorized bodies.

redevelopment project

After you have made a decision to expand the corridor, you need to develop a draft change. How to do it?

  • use a standard project, if such an option is allowed by the authority authorized to issue a permit;
  • contact an organization / individual entrepreneur who has membership in the SRO.

Getting permission

The next step is to apply to the local government, which is authorized to issue permits for redevelopment (for example, in Moscow, the Moszhilinspektsiya is engaged in this).

How:

  1. personally;
  2. mail;
  3. through the MFC;
  4. through the portal of public services.

We are preparing a package of documents:

  • statement;
  • passport;
  • redevelopment project;
  • written consent of all residents;
  • technical passport + title documents (if the housing is registered in the manner prescribed by law) the local government requests in the order of interdepartmental cooperation, if the applicant has not provided them.

After all the documents are accepted, the applicant is issued a receipt, which indicates the deadline for making a decision on redevelopment.

Not later than 45 days (the period may be less) from the date of filing the application, the authorized body must announce its decision and send it to the applicant within 3 working days.

If denied, it can be appealed to the court within 3 months.

Certificate of completion

Permission for redevelopment received, proceed to repair work. After everything is finished, it is necessary to visit the authority that issued the permit and invite a specialist to draw up an act of acceptance of overfulfilled work.

The specialist checks the compliance of the repair work with the declared project and makes a decision on their acceptance or points out the shortcomings.

After the act is signed, the authority that issued the permit sends information to Rosreestr. The latter makes changes to the USRN within 15 working days.

If, for some reason, information was not entered into the USRN, you need to visit Rosreestr and report this. The body within 3 working days requests all the necessary information in the order of interdepartmental interaction.

The apartment should be not only beautiful, but also comfortable, and the first point that is responsible for convenience is a competent layout. Unfortunately, standard apartments are rarely famous for it, but even good options do not take into account all the features of the life of future residents. Redevelopment will help to adapt the apartment for yourself, but the flight of fancy can be stopped by a lot of rules that are simply illegal to bypass. In this article, we will analyze the most popular cases that raise doubts before redevelopment.

In this article, we will analyze the most popular cases that raise doubts before redevelopment. At the end of the article, you can watch a report on the Russia 1 channel about the new rules for redevelopment of apartments.

1. Demolish partitions

When you look at the plan of the apartment, it immediately seems: I’ll remove this wall, move it further away, and it will immediately become comfortable, freeing up space for a closet, for example. However, in practice, everything is far from being so simple. Only non-bearing partitions can be demolished, and even then not all. It is easy to determine a non-bearing partition by its thickness: it rarely exceeds 10 cm. You can make sure which partitions are load-bearing and which are not, according to the BTI plan. In such partitions, openings of any shape and size can be made or completely destroyed as unnecessary without project approval, but any action with them must be notified to the housing inspectorate.

In rare cases, a non-load-bearing partition has an unloading function (takes on an additional excess load), then it will not be possible to touch it. There is also a restriction regarding the kitchen wall if the kitchen is equipped with gas: the partition can only be demolished if you replace it with a tight-fitting sliding one - this is required by safety rules.

2. Make openings

If you need to make or move an opening in a non-load-bearing wall, there should be no problems. But with load-bearing walls, coordination with the housing inspection will be required. Usually, the higher the floor on which the apartment is located, the less load the walls bear, and the more likely it is to coordinate the creation of the opening. In any case, it is impossible to punch openings closer than 80 cm from the joints of structures and closer than 1 m from outer wall. Also, you should not count on obtaining permission to punch an opening in a load-bearing wall (even on the top floor) wider than 1.2 m.

3. Erect partitions

With the demolition of partitions, everything is clear - in this way you can deprive the house of support. But the construction of partitions also has a number of serious limitations. Firstly, partitions should be light and thin so as not to give additional load to the floors. Partitions with a thickness of less than 10 cm can not be coordinated, but they must be notified to the housing inspectorate. If a partition is planned thicker than 10 cm, then it must already be agreed upon.

Secondly, it is important what parameters the room formed by the erected partitions will have. If it turns out a room without natural ventilation, daylight, heating devices, or an area of ​​\u200b\u200bless than 9 m², or a width of less than 2.25 m - this is considered a deterioration. living conditions and is not subject to agreement. An increase in the area of ​​utility rooms at the expense of living space will also worsen the conditions. Of course, these norms primarily complicate the arrangement of pantries and dressing rooms. You can get out by marking the dressing room not private room, but as a built-in wardrobe: instead of the fourth wall, hang hinged or sliding doors.

4. Combine a loggia with a room

In December 2012, in the set of rules on the redevelopment of residential premises, a clause was removed that allowed the addition of loggias to interior spaces. Now the housing inspection considers the combination of a loggia with a kitchen or a living room to be a reconstruction, for which, in accordance with the Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to obtain a building permit from the State Construction Supervision Authority. In practice, the chance of such an agreement is approximately zero.

The ban on joining a loggia is due to the fact that this operation violates the thermoregulation of the whole house: it can lead to mold on the loggia, including those of neighbors, to cracks in the outer walls and on balcony glass. In fact, you are obliged to leave the window and door filling at the entrance to the loggia, but you have the right to keep the windows and the door open all the time. Bypassing the rules, some residents simply remove the window and door filling after checking by the housing inspectorate, leaving the threshold and window sill block in place, but this is a violation of the law. If you want to remove the window sill, you can only agree on this as the installation of floor-to-ceiling French windows.

Note: transferring the battery to the loggia is prohibited, but laying an electric underfloor heating or installing an electric heater is available.

5. Expand the bathroom to the corridor area

The bathroom is often so small and the corridor so obtuse - why not make a difference for more good? The bathroom and the bathroom can be expanded or completely moved to the place of the corridor, pantry and any other non-residential premises, except for the kitchen. It is not allowed to make a “wet” zone above the kitchen and living rooms of neighbors from below. Such a redevelopment must be agreed upon, and the floor of the entire “wet” zone must be covered with waterproofing.

An interesting point: it is not allowed that the entrance to the bathroom (a room with a toilet bowl) is directly from the kitchen or living room, if the apartment does not have another bathroom with access to the corridor. Also, at the entrance to the bathroom there must be a threshold.

6. Move the kitchen to the corridor

The kitchen, like the bathroom, cannot be equipped above the living quarters of the neighbors below, but it is quite possible above the non-residential ones. Of course, there are conditions here. First, the kitchen must be equipped with electricity, not gas. Secondly, it is important to remember about waterproofing the floor, since the kitchen is one of the “wet” areas. Thirdly, there should be natural light in the kitchen - through a window, albeit into another room, and not to the street, or an arch / missing wall in an open plan. When moving a kitchen, interference with ventilation, heating, and water supply systems cannot be avoided, so these issues need to be carefully considered and covered in the project that you submit for approval. If communications are also updated, the chances of getting approval are much greater.

Bonus: if you live on the ground floor, or there is a shop or a parking lot below you, and not an apartment, it’s realistic for you to agree on moving the kitchen even to the living room, and moving the kitchen to the corridor is much easier.

Video report of the TV channel Russia 1 on the rules for redevelopment of apartments:

Expansion of the bathroom due to the corridor - perfect solution, because bathrooms in standard apartments do not differ in large dimensions.

Many people make combined rooms from separate rooms, but a more common option is to expand the bathroom and toilet through the corridor.

This solution allows you to rationally arrange appliances, appliances, equipment, and even accommodate a shower cabin. The main condition is compliance with building codes and regulations.

Redevelopment norms

The small area of ​​​​the bathroom is a problem of typical apartments, not only of the old model, narrow bathrooms can also be found in new buildings. Houses of the I/700A, P/44K, P44 and Barikon series are characterized by cramped rooms for hygiene procedures.

To solve the problem, you need to move one wall a few centimeters. The width of the hallway must be at least 1 m when connected to living quarters and at least 85 cm if there are other corridors.

At the same time, the reduction of the bedroom cannot exceed 14 sq.m. in a one-room apartment. To increase the bathroom, you will need to coordinate the work in the relevant authorities.

The approval procedure consists of the following steps:

  1. Call to the house of the measurer of the technical inventory bureau.
  2. Obtaining a conclusion from a specialist.
  3. Drawing up a project and plan.
  4. Approval of documents in the district administration.
  5. Making changes in the cadastral register and technical passport.
  6. Direct repair.
  7. Delivery of documents with a mark on the new dimensions in the BTI.
  8. Obtaining a new technical passport.

If the apartment is located on the first floor, the problem is much easier to solve, since you can expand the bathroom at the expense of living rooms. In other cases, the location must be taken into account. bearing walls.

Entry rates

The bathroom must be arranged in such a way that the entrance to the sanitary zone is from the hallway.

It is forbidden to make a doorway to living quarters or to the kitchen, in accordance with epidemiological standards.

In addition, it is unethical, the smells of the toilet and the dining room are incompatible, even with the most careful hygiene.

But there is a loophole - the entrance to the room with the toilet can be organized from the bedroom, if it is an additional room for hygiene procedures.

And the doorway of the first still joins with non-residential space.

If it is planned to expand the area without a toilet bowl, the exit from it can be done anywhere.

The corridor in any apartment is an evacuation zone in case of fires. If due to it to increase the space of the bathroom, it is important to accurately calculate the allowable footage of the transfer of walls.

Wet area and floor level standards

With any, there is a risk of violating the rules for the location of wet areas. After all, the bathroom always provides high-quality waterproofing, which needs to be joined to the new area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room.

Otherwise, there is a chance of getting a bathroom with constantly weeping walls, mold and fungus. In addition, neighbors will not be happy with regular flooding.

The floor level in the wet area, according to the regulations, should be 2 cm below the surface height in the living quarters.

In order to avoid a sharp drop, a 4 cm dividing threshold is installed, which will not release flow into other rooms in the event of a leak or an accident.

Some owners choose to install an innovative water control system that shuts off the jet in the event of a sudden burst of pipes, preventing it from getting wet.

Ventilation rates

The movement of air masses is designed for a certain area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe bathroom. Even with the existing tunnels, this is not enough.

Many make an additional system or build a powerful fan into the channel.

If the bathroom is expanded through the corridor, moist air, fumes and odors from all floors below will constantly accumulate in the room.

To calculate the ventilation parameter, it is necessary to consult with a specialist.

What is prohibited?

There is a set of rules, the violation of which is fraught with decent fines due to the creation of a dangerous situation for all residents of the house.

The following actions are not allowed:

  1. Move wet areas to residential areas.
  2. Disrupt the thermal circuit of the building.
  3. Chasing or destroying load-bearing walls.
  4. Block access to communications, violating operational requirements.
  5. Demolish air ducts or merge with the total area.
  6. Block access to risers or demolish them.
  7. Increase load on bearing structures.
  8. Replace light partitions with heavier ones.

Independent redevelopment of an apartment without coordination with the relevant authorities is not allowed, especially when the issue concerns the combination of residential and non-residential premises.

Redevelopment options

There are several ways to expand the bathroom through the corridor. Depending on the type of apartment, it is possible to equip a hygienic area with an increase in area in several ways.

Khrushchev

A series of houses 2-18/0108 and 2-18/0109 are distinguished by combined small-sized bathrooms. The bathroom space does not exceed 1.8 m in width and 1.2-2.4 m in length.

In this case, the toilet is located as close as possible to the doorway. If you just swap the bowls, the problem will be solved only partially, it is impossible to put the washing machine in the room.

If this studio apartment, there is a certain advantage - there are no load-bearing walls inside.

The wall between the kitchen and living rooms can be completely dismantled, but if there are gas appliances, you will have to install sliding partition.

Usually the entrance to the kitchen is laid, the opening is made a meter further, combining two rooms.

Due to the resulting segment, the space of the bathroom is expanding. Even such a small piece can be rationally used by replacing a standard bathtub with a corner model or a shower cabin.

The washing machine is traditionally placed under the sink. The doorway to the hallway is made on the other side, not forgetting to observe the floor level and taking into account wet areas.

It is in this case that the air flow is more intense, ventilation improves. But the convenience of the residents should be taken into account.

Not always two people live in small apartments, so a combined bathroom often causes quarrels.

Panel house

In apartments of different series, it is realistic to move the partition by a meter and a half, but it is important to know for sure that the selected wall is not a carrier.

In such buildings, all foundations are concrete, and it is much more difficult to break them than brick ones in Khrushchevs.

As for the level of the floor, the surface must also be lowered by cutting off the metal rods and the concrete layer.

If you plan to install a large bath and shower, you will have to move several entrances.

In this case, you can get into the kitchen through the room, and the hygienic zone expands due to a decent part of the long corridor.

You will have to sacrifice the combination of the dining room and living room, but they are improving design possibilities For bathroom.

New buildings

In most houses, a room for water procedures made taking into account the wishes of future owners, but some types of planning make you think about expansion.

Recently, two bathrooms have been made in new buildings - a classic and a smaller version with a toilet bowl and a washbasin.

By combining rooms and capturing a meter-level corridor, you can build a large room to fulfill all needs.

It will fit:

  • standard equipment;
  • additional equipment;
  • cabinets and cabinets.

Since the layout is often atypical, the design of the entrance depends on the characteristics of the dwelling. The main thing is not to combine the doorway with the kitchen, not to occupy the entire area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe hallway.

Sometimes the only solution is to make a bedroom door.

This will also create some inconvenience, but for a family of two it is considered a good way out.

And if the apartment has two hygienic rooms located in different places, then one of them is increased due to the hallway, in the second one you can install only a shower cabin.

Reserve option

In some houses, the bathroom was located in a special cabin made of reinforced concrete, located between the walls and ceilings. This is a corner limited by thin panels, only 8 cm thick on the outside and 6 cm inside.

It is not a carrier, its dismantling can be carried out without hindrance. But it should be noted that in this box there is a ventilation riser, which is forbidden to touch.

Between the cabin and the walls there is a gap of about 5 cm. By removing the structure, you can get a margin of 20 cm in width, in addition to the zone formed by increasing towards the corridor.

The length depends on the material from which the new partition will be built. In this case, the owners acquire two advantages: the floor level will come out lower and the ceiling higher.

It is not difficult to demolish the partition between the bathroom and the toilet; special skills are not required for such work.

How to place equipment

After expanding the area, it is necessary to rationally plan the location of plumbing and appliances.

If the bath was opposite the doorway, it is better to move it closer to the sink. Then a corner zone is formed for washing machine.

Modern types overhead washbasins suggest a countertop, which is convenient in terms of creating additional space for cabinets or electrical appliances.

Using wall cabinets and shelves to save space is also considered a good solution.

If a large font takes up a lot of space, it is better to choose a corner model or a shower cabin. The tray can be deep enough to organize washing or bathing a child.

A small bathroom can be increased due to the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe hallway or corridor.

  1. It is better to calculate in advance all the options and the possible use of footage.
  2. New partitions should be made of lightweight materials so that they are thinner and do not take up space.
  3. The doorway must be placed in such a way that all the equipment is freely located on the square.
  4. If the bathroom door opens outward, there will be more areas for installing equipment.
  5. Waterproofing in the new area must comply with all standards: the floor, walls and ceiling are protected from moisture as carefully as in the rest of the space.
  6. Be sure to lower the floor level in accordance with the standards, install a dividing threshold.
  7. Rationally arrange the equipment.
  8. Do not forget about design techniques for visually increasing the area with mirrors, well-arranged lighting, and the use of shades in decoration.

It is important to carefully prepare for the redevelopment process, go through the registration procedure, and make accurate calculations.

The formalities take about a month, but if all the steps are properly thought out and implemented, the result is a large, cozy and comfortable space for hygiene procedures.

Today, many seek to blur the boundaries of the apartment. Many produce a combination of rooms, due to which the expansion of the room occurs. It is important to obtain the appropriate permission for this, otherwise all actions will be illegal. A corridor is a space that can have a different area. According to the size, it can be expanded or another room can be expanded at the expense of it. Corridor expansion is a responsible business that requires advance planning.

Many apartment owners cannot boast of a large corridor area. Sometimes this can be a real problem. If a lot of people live in the apartment, a small hallway causes great discomfort.

You can solve the problem of a small corridor by redevelopment of the room. If the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe bathroom allows, you can expand the corridor at the expense of it.

In order to carry out redevelopment, you need to contact the relevant authorities. You should be aware that redevelopment can be agreed both before and after its implementation. However, you need to be sure that all actions were lawful.

Benefits of remodeling:

  • Increase in space.
  • Possibility to put more furniture.
  • Provide storage for more items.
  • Create coziness and comfort for the whole family.

Remodeling is serious business. Especially when it comes to the bathroom. It is very important not to hurt communications. Before repair work, you should carefully study the rules for redevelopment of the apartment.

Is it possible to enlarge the bathroom due to the corridor

A small bathroom brings discomfort and inconvenience to its owners. That is why many are interested in the possibility of enlarging the bathroom due to the corridor. The area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe hallway should allow this to be done, otherwise it will cause discomfort.

The increase in space due to another room should always be agreed with the services that deal with this issue.

Permits for redevelopment are given by housing inspections. However, they are not always available. It all depends on whether the documents and plans are prepared correctly. In order not to get into a mess, you need to know in advance detailed information on this issue.

Remodeling options:

  • By sketch;
  • According to the project.

After a successful redevelopment, it is necessary to start making changes to the documents. It can take some time. You will need to call an inspector who will check the quality of the work performed.

How to enlarge a room through a corridor

Very often, apartment owners plan to increase the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe living room at the expense of the corridor. Such a decision will have both positive and negative sides. It is important to remember that any expansion of space leads to changes in its design.

Before carrying out repairs, make sure that the wall is not load-bearing. If so, then permission to demolish it cannot be obtained.

If the wall allows for demolition, it can be removed completely or partially. When the wall is partially removed, an arch is made from it. Which looks pretty stylish. Such a solution will not completely combine the space, which will help to delimit the functional areas.

Benefits of remodeling:

  • Large area of ​​the room;
  • Penetration of more light;
  • Increasing design possibilities;
  • Cosiness and comfort for the family.

The disadvantage of combining is that dirt and dust from the hallway will enter the room much faster. This will require additional cleaning. It is important to properly arrange the space and choose the appropriate style for it.

Repair rules: is it possible to increase the corridor at the expense of the room

Some apartment owners, starting repairs, may suddenly decide to combine the corridor with the next room. The main thing is not to make hasty decisions. If such an idea has got into your head, it should be carefully considered. The entrance hall can be combined with neighboring rooms, which will maximize the available space.

Before performing repair work, you need to draw up a project, draw a sketch that will clearly show how the redevelopment will take place, and how the room will look after it.

Here important point is the coordination of redevelopment with housing services. It's best to get permission before starting repairs. Actions without permission will be considered illegal and illegal.

Step by step redevelopment:

  • Select the rooms to be combined.
  • Draw a sketch or detailed plan.
  • Take it to the Housing Inspectorate for verification.

In the case of a positive answer, you can proceed to the demolition of the wall. You can do it yourself, or you can hire a professional master. After completion of the work, it is necessary to choose a style for the design of the renovated premises. To do this, you can seek help from professionals.

Proper extension of the corridor (video)

Today, the small size of the rooms forces the owners of apartments and houses to redevelop the premises. It is designed to expand the area, practically or visually. Due to the corridor, you can also expand the combined bathroom. Sometimes the opposite happens, and at the expense of the rooms they expand the corridor. This allows you to make it practical and convenient for use by the whole family. It is important to coordinate all your actions with special services. Otherwise, the actions will be illegal and will entail fines.
