St. Petersburg authorities continue to struggle with communal apartments. Smolny now decided to bet on investors. Communal plan to transfer entire blocks in the bidding through the Fund's assets. In 2008, in St. Petersburg began implementing the program for the resettlement of urban communal apartments. Since that time the city got rid of more than 10 thousand communal. The order of 2500 such apartments were settled with little or no participation of the city. Thus, their total number in 2008 was reduced from 116 to 105 000. Today the leader in a number of communal apartments - Central District. In this part of their number reaches 20 000. It is planned that this year will be more settled 2000 communal apartments, 500 of which through the provision of benefits under the program of resettlement. Note, in the developed urban Committee for Economic Development, Industrial Policy and Trade of the Concept of socio-economic development of St. Petersburg until 2020, says that after 9 years in St. Petersburg, there should be no communal apartments. Problem balance Experts identify several major issues hindering the resettlement of remaining in the city. One of them is the fact that citizens simply lack the funds to sell in a communal room and buy a separate housing. The second difficulty stems from the fact, many facilities have a problem with the documents, but some owners can not be found. In addition, the majority of generated high expectations about the value of their property. Another point is due to the market - investors are interesting objects have already considered. Analysts estimate the market to date, only 10 thousand of communal flats are involved in various government programs, or have expressed a desire to participate. The remaining 95 thousand items - problem. Residents are either unable to agree on the terms of settlement, or simply do not know about the possibilities. President of the SC "Aventine" Valery Vinogradov said that the cause of the current situation in communal apartments - low level of awareness of citizens. "Many simply do not know how to solve their problems and what help you can expect from the city, - he said. One of the difficulties of communal settlement - the so-called "question of the last room." City officials have repeatedly said that the need to develop schemes that would simplify the redemption of the rooms. Today is preparing a resolution that would regulate the sale in installments of free rooms in communal apartments. At the moment, being approved by the relevant committees of the city government is the appropriate regulation. Now buy the vacant rooms in communal apartments can only be a waiting list. Conditions are: to make an initial contribution of 30% of the value of the premises and pay the remaining amount within 5 years. It is planned that such a possibility appears and St. Petersburg, not in the queue. Vinogradov believes that contribute to solving the problem of communal apartments in St. Petersburg, burn to become more active interaction between Gorzhilobmenom and real estate business. The expert believes that it is necessary to establish counseling centers for the public, with the support of community realtor who "knows the problem from within." "These items will be run free of charge and will help accelerate the settlement of communal" - believes Vinogradov. Investors lose interest in the Government of St. Petersburg has long called on investors to actively participate in the resettlement of urban communal. But to date, their participation does not become so commonplace to make a significant contribution to solving this problem. City periodically exhibits communal apartments for sale. Under the terms of the auction, the winner must settle 70% of the total area of the apartment, half in case an emergency shelter. The rest deals with the city. In 2008, the way the Smolny was able to realize about 30 objects. In 2009, practically no competition. Prevented the crisis. In March last year the government of St. Petersburg has intensified its efforts in this direction. The first competitions were held after the suspension quite well and have been implemented almost all the lots. According to authorities, these apartments may be of interest for placement in them, for example, mini-hotels. Board member of the Russian Hotel Association Musakin Alex believes that the proposals that would really be interested hoteliers, there are not many. Vinogradov also finds unique and interesting objects have already settled, and the typical, and in most cases, the problematic flat little interest to investors. The director of "Adveks - Petrograd agency" Yuri Vorobyov said that investor interest in the topic of communal permanently reduced, due to the fact that the market remained largely illiquid objects, and even in the primary market in the downtown area offers the best options. The new initiative Smolny, realizing the situation, a new initiative, which should, according to the authors, to increase investor interest in the communal resettlement. It is planned that investors will be broadcast under the resettlement of entire blocks of municipal flats. The first part of the city, which is supposed to test a new mechanism - Central. In a recent interview with the vice-governor of the Government of St. Petersburg Alexey Sergeyev said that the new program - an initiative of the Housing Committee and the administration of the Central District. According to the official, the projects will be developed depending on the capabilities of the investor. Theoretically - this initiative is, of course, can be a real solution to the problem of communal apartments. Because in the current situation to some extent, a dead-end - a large number of communal apartments that are of interest can only be subject to resettlement quarter as a whole ", - said Vorobyov. According to him, to hinder the implementation of the project may be a lack of money, lack of investment as such, and the lack of active participation in this process, city and state. Experience shows that without government support, only to investment funds, we are not communal Russell, otherwise these projects are very expensive, says Vorobyev. "The program will be of interest for the active participation of city and state. However, in the form as it is today - to impose a solution to this problem solely on the shoulders of investors - the unpromising ", - says the expert. In fact, the project could turn into a quarterly reconstruction of buildings in the city center. As noted by Sergeyev, the problem of settlement may provide the impetus for this process, and a revival of historic buildings can be counted on to raise funds from the federal budget, which can be combined with the city and invested by the investor. To implement such a scheme should be made to federal law changes, as well as to individual urban law and regulations. According to Sergeyev, now lawyers are considering the possibility of registration of this idea. It is planned that all the details will be worked out by the end of this year. Then be offered an appropriate adjustment of federal laws.
