NEARLY 9,000 BUILDINGS LEGALIZED SINCE INTRODUCTION OF “CONSTRUCTION OBLIVION”

The construction oblivion rules introduced by the Ministry of Regional Development, Building and Housing of Ukraine in 2018 have allowed to accept into service about 9,000 buildings of CC1 class (minor class of consequences).
Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Regional Development Hennadiy Zubko told a press conference on January 24 that the “construction oblivion” for small houses was one of the main changes in the construction industry in 2018, along with the decentralization of powers of the State Architectural and Construction Inspectorate of Ukraine, the introduction of new state construction standards, reduction in licensing procedures, etc.
As reported earlier, the rules were developed in pursuance of law No. 2363 on amendments to Section V, Clause 9 of the Final Provisions of the law on the regulation of urban development activities to extend the deadline for the commissioning of construction projects built without a permit for construction work adopted by the Verkhovna Rada on March 22, 2018.
The law provides for an indefinite term for the legalization of self-erected facilities belonging to CC1 class. A body of the state architectural and construction inspection agency is obliged to accept the object in operation after a technical survey within 10 days from the date of the application.
The law applies to individual residential buildings, garden cottages, and country houses with a total area of up to 300 square meters, as well as amenity (homestead) buildings and structures with a total area of 300 square meters (built from August 5, 1992 to April 9, 2015) and agricultural buildings and facilities (built before March 12, 2011).
