Housing and Communal Services Infrastructure
It can be noted that there is an Infrastructure of Housing and Communal Services of the corresponding level of housing and communal services (regional, municipal, district) - a multi-level Structure of Territories, Real Estate Objects (residential and non-residential), Engineering Networks and Technical Systems (energy, heat, gas, water, sewage), Transport Networks and means, etc. :
In general, these are those Infrastructure Objects of the Housing and Communal Services that directly provide the housing and household needs of the population, the transport needs of settlements, the supply of necessary resources of water, gas, heat and electricity, and solve issues of improvement and arrangement of settlements.

Complex Housing and Communal Services Infrastructure requires constant attention, operational management, planning and necessary actions to maintain the "Working Condition" and normal operation of all elements of the Infrastructure to achieve the Main Goals - ensuring the needs of the population, their safe and comfortable living, development of Housing and Communal Services Infrastructure, and overall development of the region, settlements, urban areas.

Over time, the Condition of Housing and Utilities Infrastructure Objects GENERALLY CHANGES and WORSE (without appropriate attention and intervention).

This means the possibility of negative consequences, namely:

  1. The level of Safety (Life / Fire Safety / Electrical Safety) may decrease, (Life / Fire Safety / Electrical Safety) may decrease,
  2. The Technical, Qualitative and Sanitary Condition of Infrastructure Objects of Housing and Communal Services may deteriorate,
  3. The comfort of living of Owners and Residents may decrease,
  4. The costs of maintaining Infrastructure of Housing and Communal Services increase,
  5. The risks of unforeseen and emergency incidents increase.

Considering the above problems, the Main Tasks of Local Administrations are to ensure proper and high-quality maintenance of Objects of Housing and Communal Services, namely:

The main tasks of Local Administrations and Management Companies regarding the operation and maintenance of Housing and Communal Services

Management of local administrations, Directors, Managers, Heads of utility companies and other Responsible Persons are those persons who constantly make decisions regarding the management, maintenance, and maintenance of Housing and Communal Services Infrastructure Objects in proper and working condition in terms of all Aspects - Safety, Technical, Quality and Sanitary and Hygienic Condition, Discipline, Comfort.

Each element of the Housing and Communal Services Infrastructure has its own Status in terms of Safety, Technical, Qualitative and Sanitary-Hygienic Status of Housing and Communal Services Objects. The Status of Housing and Communal Services Objects can also be determined and monitored by Financial and quantitative Indicators (operating costs, resource consumption, budget status, etc.).

An important factor in ensuring the "normal" condition of the elements of the Housing and Communal Services Infrastructure is the timely implementation of maintenance regulations for engineering networks and systems, relevant equipment and facilities, maintenance of buildings and admixtures of residential and non-residential funds in proper condition, maintenance and repair of vehicles, etc.

During the operation and maintenance of the Housing and Communal Services Infrastructure, the National, industry and profile requirements, standards and recommendations relating to the housing and communal services sector must be complied with. Also, each of the local administrations may have its own corpus of Normative Documents, Standards, Regulations and Rules, which determine what the normal State of the Objects should be, what exactly, and according to which documents, standards, regulations and rules the Housing and Communal Services Infrastructure Objects should be controlled and checked, Financial and quantitative indicators of the relevant Indicators.

The state of working qualifications, discipline, and comfort of workers in the Housing and Communal Services sector is also an important factor in ensuring the "normal" state of the elements of the Housing and Communal Services Infrastructure, it also changes over time, and also requires control, inspections, and management.

An additional Goal of maintaining the Housing and Communal Services Infrastructure in a "normal or good" Condition is to maintain and improve the Status and high Investment Attractiveness and Liquidity of residential, non-residential and commercial real estate, which means :

  • Benefit for Residents and Owners - Apartments or Commercial Real Estate Objects in a "quality" house / district / settlement, which provides a high level of security, amenities and comfort, a high level of Housing and Communal Services, transport accessibility, etc., have a higher Status and a higher Sale Price than in a "regular" house / district / settlement, in other words, have a higher Investment Attractiveness and higher Liquidity (Liquid assets are assets that can be quickly and with minimal costs converted into cash).

  • Benefit for the Region / Settlement / Urban District - attracting a larger number of higher-status people for residence and Investors for the development of both Business and Housing and Communal Services Infrastructure Objects, including, which generally leads to a faster development of the Region, Settlements, Urban Districts.

Personnel turnover. There may be another problematic issue in the Housing and Communal Services Sector - personnel turnover. Qualified personnel, specialists, contractors or service companies that were engaged in the operation and maintenance of the Housing and Community Infrastructure Objects may no longer work over time for various reasons, which makes it necessary to "transfer cases" from one person to another, or to look for new performers or contractors. It is desirable that Information about the condition of the Objects should be available to Responsible persons, regardless of the specific person or contractor.

Availability and Accessibility of documentation (Technical, Operational, Reports) and results of work performed related to Housing and Communal Services Infrastructure Objects is an important factor for further sustainable maintenance and service of Housing and Communal Services Infrastructure Objects.

Examples of Control and typical Inspections of Housing and Communal Services Infrastructure Objects can be given:

In general, it can be noted that
