    As the manager of a housing cooperative, am I responsible for inspecting the electrical installation in private apartments in the building? I have not read the specific legal regulations and there are different opinions on this subject. I have been the president of the cooperative for a short time and so far such reviews have not been carried out.

    Applies to the manager or owner of the building, but not to separate property. The owner of the apartment is the tenant and is he not responsible for the installation in his apartment?

    Not him.
    The act clearly defines who takes care of the technical condition of the building as a whole.
    This someone is the manager or owner of the building.


    Here is the GUNB interpretation: https://www.gunb.gov.pl/strona/kontrole-stanu-technicznego-obiektow
    Quote:
    According to Art. 61 point 1 of the Act - Construction Law, the owner or manager of a building is obliged to use it in a manner consistent with its purpose and environmental protection requirements, and to maintain it in a proper technical and aesthetic condition, preventing excessive deterioration of its functional properties and technical efficiency, ensuring in particular, the fulfillment of the so-called basic requirements regarding: construction safety, fire safety, safety of use, appropriate hygienic and health conditions and environmental protection, protection against noise and vibration, energy saving and adequate thermal insulation of partitions.
    The imposition of responsibility for the condition of the building on its owner or manager means that it is associated with undertaking activities in the field of ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the building, and not with the ownership right.
    However, pursuant to Art. 61 point 2, the owner or manager of a building facility is obliged to ensure, with due diligence, safe use of the facility in the event of external factors affecting the facility, related to human activity or forces of nature, such as: atmospheric discharges, seismic shocks, strong winds, heavy rainfall weather conditions, landslides, ice phenomena on rivers and the sea, as well as lakes and water reservoirs, fires or floods, which result in damage to a building or an imminent threat of such damage, which may pose a threat to human life or health, property safety or the environment. In order to ensure proper maintenance of a building, its owner or manager is obliged to ensure that periodic inspections are carried out by persons authorized to do so.


    The problem is that the owner of the premises is not legally obliged to make the premises available to the management board or the owner of the building, but:
    Pursuant to the Act on ownership of premises, it has:
    Quote:
    Art. 13. 1. The owner bears the expenses related to the maintenance of his premises,
    is obligated keep your premises in good condition keep order
    household, participate in the management costs related to the maintenance of the common property, use it in a way that does not hinder the use by other co-owners, and cooperate with them in protecting the common good .

    The inspection of the technical condition can therefore be treated as protection of the common good, and this is the basis for the manager when wanting to inspect the building.
    InIn the event of refusal to let the controlling person in, the only option left is to go to court with the owner of the apartment.

    The owner answers.
    The law requires inspections of electric shock protection in premises every 5 years.
    The owner of the premises theoretically does not pay for periodic inspections.
    The community or cooperative pays.
    So the landlord has to pay for it in the rent.

    The cost of repairing faults in the installation is borne by the owner.
