Installing a ramp at the entrance according to the law

Ramp - an inclined plane for lowering and lifting vehicles. In many homes, it is necessary, because it facilitates the access of disabled people and strollers with children.

But not every entrance has this convenient thing, which complicates the life of citizens. In this case, installation is required.

The law includes rules that should guide the installation of this element at home. A statement from the tenants of the house demanding that their rights be respected is required.

Article 19 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation refers to the equality of human rights and freedoms and the prohibition of social and other discrimination. All citizens can use the premises on a general basis, regardless of physical health.

This is enshrined in the Federal Law "On the social protection of persons with disabilities in the Russian Federation." Based on Articles 15 and 16, it is established that persons with disabilities should have access to social infrastructure: housing, public buildings, cultural institutions.

It is the responsibility of the authorities to provide conditions under which a person with a disability can visit any premises. The law establishes liability for violation of this right.

In some regions, local acts are used that guarantee the freedom of movement of persons with disabilities. There are also special standards that determine the design, construction and reconstruction of premises for people with limited mobility.

Actions

The installation of the ramp requires the support of the authorities. The law assumes that the will of one person is necessary, but collective appeal is even better. For example, young mothers who find it difficult to constantly lower strollers down stairs can write down a statement. If the house is multi-storey, then this causes a lot of inconvenience.

The application must be submitted to the Housing Office or the managing organization. It is written in the name of the chief in two copies. It is necessary to indicate the installation of a ramp in a specific entrance. It is important to indicate references to laws, so that the application will be serious enough.

It is possible to attach a photograph of the landing, where it is desirable to install a ramp for prams and wheelchairs. The appeal can be sent by registered mail or delivered in person.

Then you have to wait for a response. The law establishes that the term for consideration of applications in communal organizations is 30 days. During this period, the authorities must make a decision.

It is in writing. If everything is approved, then within a few days a structure is installed for the convenient movement of vehicles.

Can I install it myself?

In apartment buildings it is forbidden to install a ramp on your own. Installation of the structure is carried out according to technical regulations. You also need permits for the product and installation. All issues are regulated by the head of the institution that serves the entrance.

If the requirements for the installation of the structure were not observed, then dismantling is necessary. This is the responsibility of the main person. In this case, a fine of up to 50,000 rubles is provided.

How to get permission?

In 2013, changes were made to the Housing Code, on the basis of which it is no longer necessary to obtain the consent of 2/3 of the residents to install the structure in the entrance. You must write an application and submit it to the Housing Office. The sample can be taken there.

The operation of the porch and entrance is also the responsibility of the HOA. The application must be made to the head of the organization. The document should include explanations about the installation of the structure.

Complaints

Failure usually follows due to the presence of narrow spans - less than 2.5 m. Then the law determines the fastening of the folding ramp.

If a permit to perform work has not been obtained, then it is necessary to write a statement regarding the violation of your rights. A document is submitted to the housing inspectorate, the prosecutor's office or an organization for the protection of consumer rights.

You can appeal against the inaction of any person in a judicial way. If the decision is not satisfactory, then there is the possibility of filing a complaint with the district court that heard the case.

The contestation is carried out only within a month from the date of the decision. The complaint is referred to the City Court. If this deadline has been missed, then you can write an application with this request. His sample is in court.

After consideration of the issue, a decision is made on the installation of the structure. Its length is from 50 cm to 4 m. It can have 1-3 sections. The size should be such that the stroller passes freely.

ramps

Usually ramps are installed at the entrance. Steps are used as fastening. Channels or skids can be used, as well as a monolithic surface.

Before work, it is taken into account how much the flight of stairs will become smaller. If this is a residential area, then the free passage should be at least 90 cm.

Folding ramp attachment

Not all houses are suitable for a stationary ramp. To do this, you can choose a folding view. It will be the best choice for entryways with a staircase width less than 160 cm.

The installation technology is almost the same as that of a stationary one. The placed design will be convenient for movement.

The advantages of a folding ramp include:

• Possibility of installation on any stairs. In the absence of space near the wall, it is mounted on steps and railings;
• Similar to stationary models, you only need to move it to the open position;
• When the structure is closed, it does not interfere with people;
• The product is operated very easily: it takes no more than 10-15 seconds to open and close.
• Light weight. The design will be convenient for young mothers who need to constantly take out children's transport;
• For manufacturing, galvanized steel is used, so the product looks original. The material is durable and does not require special care. A design is created in accordance with GOST.

Usually skids with dimensions 40*190*40 are used. Since the product will be better than the standard one, it is used for different models of children's transport.

The law regulates the principles of fastening the structure.

When installing a ramp in houses, the following rules must be observed:

• Ceramic tiles cannot be used as a material. Since it slips, it is dangerous to health.

You need to choose the material based on the attachment site, since operating conditions differ in different places. There should be parallel handrails without sharp edges. The angle of placement of the structure is required no more than 8 degrees;

• If a stationary view is selected, then there must be a platform in front of and behind it. Only when installed according to all requirements, movement on the surface will be safe;
• There must be a railing, which simplifies the process of descent and eliminates the risk of injury;
• Installation work is carried out on the basis of SNIP. This helps to protect people from the possibility of injury.

In the manufacture of fixtures, types of transport are taken into account so that the ascent and descent is easy. In some cases, the product is changed to the parameters of the stairs, but this is only necessary to facilitate the use of the structure;

• During design, many factors must be taken into account, including the angle of installation.

fences

The law establishes the existence of barriers. They allow you to protect a person from injury. Movement will be safe. Ramps are usually located in social and administrative buildings.

In offices and companies, you can also install a convenient device, because among the customers there may be people with disabilities.

When installing the platform, it must be taken into account that it must fit a standard wheelchair. Then the rise of any transport will be convenient.

Appeal to social protection

The law guarantees the protection of citizens, so everyone has the right to apply to social security. There you need to write an application, a sample of which is in such institutions. It is required to attach a program for the rehabilitation of a disabled person, which indicates that a person needs a wheelchair.

After receiving the application, the employees of the service submit a petition to a higher authority. At this time, employees come and take pictures of the entrance. Then a decision is made whether a ramp is really needed. If a positive decision is made, then builders are sent to the place of work.

Installation approval

When attaching the ramp, it is better to be at home. To do this, it is necessary to coordinate the arrival of the builders so that all measurements are carried out with the interested parties. The law states that the design must be universal. Otherwise, disputes may arise, and the reworking of the work will take a long time.

It is important to track what the slope will be. It should be gentle, sloping. The design must be installed according to the rules, and not “for show”. It is important that the door opens as before.

Other issues related to construction should also be clarified. You can contact the district council, so the problem will be solved faster.

The law establishes requirements for the maintenance of the entrance. All tenants pay utility bills, and therefore the entrance must comply with several rules. All systems (doors, intercoms, elevators) must be in working order.

Walls, floors, windows are kept clean. All faults must be replaced. The optimum temperature in the common room is +16 degrees.

It is the responsibility of the management company to monitor the serviceability of all entrance systems. For cleaning, workers are hired who, according to the schedule, perform sweeping and mopping. Every month, the garbage chute should be disinfected if it is in the house.

Sewerage, water supply system, heating are necessarily repaired in case of malfunctions. If necessary, cosmetic and major repairs are carried out.

In case of accidents, residents have the right to contact the dispatch service, where they provide immediate assistance.

The law spells out the requirements on the basis of which the house is recognized as uninhabitable. Decisions on such matters are made by the City Commission. At the meeting, the question of the possibility of performing repair work, reconstruction and redevelopment is necessarily put forward. Some rooms are being demolished.

Repair work

Life in the house will be comfortable only if everything is in order there. Leaks in the roof must be repaired per shift. Minor repairs are carried out for about a day, but only when the weather is favorable. Roofing is regularly replaced to prevent major accidents.

The decision to repair is made by the owners of the property. For this, special meetings are held. The district government can support the decision and express assistance in carrying out the work. Owners need to control the entire process.

Payment for services

Tenants in the house pay for the use of the premises, maintenance, repairs and utilities. The latter include water supply, sewerage, electricity.

The volume of services affects the amount of payment. If they do not meet the quality, then the owner has the right to protect his interests.

In such cases, you must write a statement and indicate the non-compliance with the requirements. If there is inaction on the part of the organization, then you can contact the housing inspectorate.

Home control

Homeowners have the right to choose the management of the home. This can be done:

• managing organization;
• Owners.

The HOA consists of a chairman, whose duties include signing documentation, making transactions, holding meetings.

The company is a legal entity, so it has a current account and a name. Homeowners who are not part of the HOA enter into an agreement. The organization performs the maintenance and management of the house.

Acceptance of works

All types of work, including the installation of ramps, must be controlled. During this time, no other objects in the room should be affected. Garbage after work is taken out in a day.

If any violations occur, then the tenants have the right to appeal to the managing organization. A home inspection can help. After the work is completed, acceptance is assigned. Defects are eliminated in a short time.

The presence of the performer, employees of the managing organization, chairman, inspector is necessary. An act of acceptance of work is required. You need to make sure that everything has been completed in full. All aspects are indicated in the document. After signing, construction work is considered completed.

The location of the ramps is convenient everywhere: at train stations, shops, hospitals. This allows the disabled to move without assistance. The design will allow you to roll a pram into the building.

A handrail must be attached to the product. It is made from high quality materials to ensure durability. Their edges should not be harmful to health. Therefore, if the house does not have this design, then it is necessary to apply for installation, especially where children and the disabled live.

Refusal to perform work is a violation of the rights of a citizen, so the authorities usually allow the fastening of this necessary attribute.
