Role of Associations of Individual Proprietors of
Housing in Reforms of
Housing and Public Utilities”
June 07, 2007
Further deepening of reforms of
Housing and Public Utilities is one of the priorities of implementing
economic programme of the state for 2007. Significant role in successful
implementation of the state policy in this sphere is devoted to associations
of individual proprietors of housing, which are created for providing joint
management and maintenance, preserving and repair of housing, as well as
exploitation of common property of private proprietors of flats in a
multi-flat house.
President of the Republic of Uzbekistan I. Karimov in his speech “Our main
aim is democratization and renewal of society, reformation and modernization
of the country” at a joint meeting of Legislative Chamber and Senate of Oliy
Majlis (Parliament) on February 28, 2005, speaking about the most important
priorities of economic reforms, particularly stressed on necessity of paying
the most serious attention on reforms of housing and public utilities. He
pointed out unsatisfactory work on management of multi-flat housing and
existed shortcomings in organizing activity of established associations of
individual proprietors of housing, lack of market mechanisms in sphere of
housing exploitation and maintenance.
In order to fulfill aforesaid tasks and providing assistance in solving
problems in regions, the Legislative and Judicial Committee of the Senate of
Oliy Majlis jointly with Kengash (Assembly) of People’s Deputies of Tashkent
city in march 2007 conducted monitoring of activity of associations of
individual proprietors of housing.
After discussions of the monitoring results on joint meeting of the
Legislative and Judicial Committee of the Senate and Kengash of People’s
Deputies of Tashkent city a Resolution was adopted. The main aim of the
resolution is to implement measures directed at eliminating shortcomings
while executing requirements of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On
Associations of Individual Proprietors of Housing” in Tashkent.
On April 18 2007, Seminar “Place and Role of Associations of Individual
Proprietors of Housing in Reforms of Housing and Public Utilities” was held.
The seminar was organized by the Legislative and Judicial Committee of the
Senate of Oliy Majlis and Tashkent Khokimiyat (Local Administration). The
aim of the seminar was to provide assistance to chairmen of district
associations of individual proprietors of housing in forming skills for
judicial solving the problems related to exploitation and maintenance of
housing.
It was stipulated on the seminar that while implementing norms of the
Housing Codex of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Law of the Republic of
Uzbekistan “On Associations of Individual Proprietors of Housing” and other
legislative acts, reorganization of associations of individual proprietors
of housing has been accomplished in Tashkent and total number of the
associations comprised 2,086. Contractual relations are being enhanced
between the associations and enterprises, which provide communal, repair and
construction services. In order to develop competitive environment in sphere
of serving housing, alternative service companies were established, the work
is being implemented to optimize a number of houses, which are served by one
association.
Also attention of the seminar participants was driven to existed
shortcomings in activity of the associations of individual proprietors of
housing, which are connected with implementation of legislative
requirements. It was noted that majority of associations do not implement
their legal rights in spheres of using soft credits and loans issued for
improving their financial situation and development of competition while
providing services in housing and public utilities, entrepreneurship in
stipulated limits. Some associations of individual proprietors of housing
did not create conditions for providing additional services to inhabitants,
there are cases when measures against received complaints were implemented
not in time, land plots were formalized not in compliance of requirements.
During discussions the seminar participants broadly exchanged with their
views and stressed on necessity of strengthening cooperation between the
associations of individual proprietors of housing and local state bodies,
organizations and enterprises, providing them with required support and
assistance.
