At the same time, an appropriate act is issued to the consumer. In addition to such visits, they are obliged to respond as soon as possible and go to the address of the owner if he reports a detected malfunction. On-site inspection and work to eliminate it.
With proper use of gas appliances, one check for the entire term of the agreement is enough. If the life of the equipment has expired, then gas workers recommend replacing it or having it diagnosed by a specialized organization. If the term is extended in the conclusion, its service becomes annual.
Organizations servicing gas equipment prepare documentation for each room indicating all the devices located there, indicating the installation date and operating life.
Explanation of the legitimacy of the actions of LLC Regiongazservis on the conclusion of contracts for the maintenance and repair of in-house and or in-house gas equipment
Clarification on the legitimacy of the actions of LLC "Regiongazservis" to conclude contracts for the maintenance and repair of in-house and (or) in-house gas equipment
In connection with numerous appeals from citizens about the illegal actions of Regiongazservice LLC, expressed in the imposition of the conclusion of contracts for the maintenance and repair of in-house and (or) in-house gas equipment, the Office of Rospotrebnadzor for the Perm Territory explains:
According to clause 129 of the Rules for the provision of utility services to owners and users of premises in apartment buildings and residential buildings, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 6, 2011 N 354 (hereinafter referred to as Rules No. 354), the consumer is obliged to ensure the proper technical condition and safe operation of in-house gas equipment and in-house gas equipment.
Gas supply to the consumer - the owner of a dwelling in an apartment building is carried out subject to proper maintenance and repair of in-house gas equipment, which must be carried out by a specialized organization under a concluded agreement (clause 131 of Rules No. 354).
The absence of an agreement on the maintenance and repair of in-house gas equipment is the basis for suspending the gas supply with prior notice to the consumer (clause 132 of Regulation No. 354).
According to paragraph 42 of the Rules for the use of gas in terms of ensuring safety during the use and maintenance of in-house and in-house gas equipment in the provision of utility services for gas supply, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 14, 2013 No.N 410 (hereinafter - Rules No. 410), the owner of the residential premises is obliged to pay for the work (services) for the maintenance of the house and (or) apartment gas equipment, as well as the repair work of the house and (or) apartment gas equipment on time and in full .
We also inform you that in accordance with paragraph 22 of the Rules for the supply of gas to meet the domestic needs of citizens, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 21, 2008 N 549 (hereinafter referred to as Rules No. 549), the gas supplier is obliged to carry out at least 1 time per year verification of gas meters and gas-using equipment with prior notification. And the gas consumer, in accordance with clause 21 of the same Rules, is obliged to provide representatives of the gas supplier with access to gas meters and gas-using equipment for inspection.
From the direct interpretation of clause 43 of Regulation No. 410, a specialized organization is obliged to carry out maintenance of in-house gas equipment at least once every 3 years. And the owner of a dwelling in an apartment building, in accordance with clause 42 of these Rules, is obliged to provide access for the representatives of the contractor to the in-house and (or) in-house gas equipment to carry out work (render services) for the maintenance and repair of this equipment, as well as to suspend the supply gas in the cases provided for by these Rules.
Refusal to admit a gas supplier and (or) a specialized organization to conduct an inspection and (or) carry out maintenance work on in-house and (or) in-house gas equipment is also the basis for suspending gas supply with prior notification (clause 80 of Rules No. 410 , paragraph 45 of Regulation No. 549.
Since the tariff for the maintenance and repair of residential premises, approved by Decree of July 8, 2015 N 445 “On setting the amount of fees for the maintenance and repair of residential premises in the city of Perm”, includes the cost of work performed for the proper maintenance of systems of indoor gas equipment in an apartment building house, LLC "Regiongazservis" lawfully presents a fee to residents of apartment buildings for the inspection of in-house gas equipment.
Gas workers are forced to pay for equipment inspection
Every year, I receive a notification from a company servicing the city's gas infrastructure to pay for the revision of gas equipment in the house. The audit consists of the following: a visit by a specialist lasting a maximum of 5 minutes, a cursory inspection of the heating boiler and stove. No maintenance. The amount is suitable - about 700 rubles, growing every year. It also includes money to pay for the calls of specialists in case of breakdowns or malfunctions of a gas boiler or stove. For how many calls money is taken, is not specified. But, if the equipment does not fail and specialists are not called, then the money is not returned. That is, 700 rubles for a five-minute visit. Moreover, if I refuse to sign the service contract, they threaten to cut off the gas. Is all this legal and is there any control over extortionists? Oleg Rzhev An authoritative expert on consumer protection, lawyer Dmitry Lesnyak answers: - Article 26 of the Law "On Gas Supply in the Russian Federation" prohibits organizations that own gas supply systems, gas suppliers or organizations authorized by them to perform such actions as imposing on gas consumers the terms of contracts that are not related to to the subject of the contracts (meaning the imposition of additional services in addition to the actual gas supply); inclusion in contracts of conditions that put one consumer in an unequal position compared to other consumers; violation of the pricing procedure established by regulatory enactments.The equipment check is carried out by the gas utility company at least once every six months and, since the obligation to carry it out is assigned to the gas supplier by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 21, 2008 No. 549 (see paragraphs 55-62), it must be carried out free of charge. As for the subscription service of your gas equipment, in general, the conclusion of such an agreement is not prohibited by law, but the gas supplier does not have the right to impose maintenance (Article 16 of the Law "On Protection of Consumer Rights"). Thus, you can refuse to pay any additional payments, except for the actual cost of consumed gas. As an example from judicial practice, I can cite the Resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the North Caucasus District of 08/03/2011 in case No. A61-2265 / 2009. In accordance with it, the court considered that such actions of the gas supplier impose additional costs on the population to pay for services in excess of state-regulated prices, which is illegal and violates the rights of an unlimited number of citizens. To protect your rights, you should file a complaint with the territorial department of Rospotrebnadzor, as well as with the Federal Antimonopoly Service with a request to hold the organization liable under Art. 14.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

Types of gas equipment
Gas equipment can be divided into two categories: in-house and boiler.
- Intra-house gas equipment includes gas pipelines that supply gas from the gas distribution network, gas metering devices, as well as gas stoves, water heaters and boilers. This is what all people use in their homes and apartments for heating, water heating and cooking.
- Boiler gas equipment is used in rooms specially equipped for this purpose (boiler rooms). Such equipment includes gas pipelines, gas boilers, gas control units and gas control points. Boilers are used, as a rule, for heating large industrial premises (enterprises, schools, hospitals, kindergartens).

Who is responsible for gas equipment in an apartment building
Who is responsible for the gas equipment in an apartment building and who maintains it? Who looks after the stove and column?
According to paragraph 5 of the Rules for the maintenance of common property (approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 13, 2006 No. 491), the common property includes an in-house engineering gas supply system consisting of gas pipelines laid from a gas source (when using liquefied hydrocarbon gas) or places of connection of the indicated gas pipelines to the gas distribution network to the shut-off valve (switch-off device) located on the branches (descents) to the in-house gas equipment, tank and (or) group cylinder installations of liquefied hydrocarbon gases, designed to supply gas to one apartment building, gas-using equipment (with the exception of gas-using equipment that is part of the in-house gas equipment), technical devices on gas pipelines, including control and safety valves, gas pollution control systems in premises, collective (common house) gas meters, as well as gas meters, fixing the volume of gas used in the production of public services.
A similar definition is contained in the Rules for the use of gas in terms of ensuring safety during the use and maintenance of in-house and in-house gas equipment in the provision of utility services for gas supply (approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated May 14, 2013 No. 410).
The in-house equipment of Rule No. 410 includes gas pipelines of an apartment building, laid from a shut-off valve (switch-off device) located on branches (drops) to in-house gas equipment, to household gas-using equipment located indoors, household gas-using equipment and technical devices on gas pipelines, in including control and safety fittings, indoor gas control systems, individual or common (apartment) gas meters.
Responsibility for the maintenance of the in-house equipment of an apartment building lies with the management company, and for the in-house equipment - with the owner of the apartment. Both the management company and the owner of the apartment are required to conclude an agreement for the maintenance of gas equipment, for which they are responsible, with a specialized organization.
Since the operation of faulty gas equipment threatens with human casualties and significant damage, a specialized organization has the right to independently apply with a proposal to conclude an agreement for the maintenance of gas equipment with the owner or management company, and in case of their refusal, force the conclusion of an agreement through the court.
The owners may, by making an appropriate decision at the general meeting, grant the right to the management company or the HOA to conclude an agreement for the maintenance of in-house gas equipment instead of the owners.
The management company bears the cost of maintaining the in-house gas equipment, and the owners of the apartments bear the costs of maintaining the in-house gas equipment.
In the event of the expiration of the period of normative operation of gas equipment, the person responsible for its maintenance must, at his own expense, ensure the performance of work on technical diagnostics of gas equipment by concluding an agreement with an authorized organization. If the service life of the equipment has expired, but work on technical diagnostics has not been carried out, or, based on the results of diagnostics, the equipment needs to be replaced, but the replacement has not been made, then a specialized service organization has the right to turn off the gas supply.
An important element of gas equipment is smoke and ventilation ducts of residential premises and apartment buildings. Inspection, and, if necessary, cleaning and repair of smoke and ventilation ducts are carried out by an organization licensed by the Ministry of Emergency Situations for the installation, maintenance and repair of fire safety equipment for buildings and structures.
