How to get on the roof of the house. There is a question: “How to legally get the keys to the roof? Accompanied walks

Want to get on the roof and see your city from bird's eye view? Or sunbathe alone in the summer? Or maybe arrange an unforgettable romantic date, and then an unforgettable sex on the roof? In any of these options, you are provided with a sea of ​​​​impressions! And I'll tell you how anyone can do it!

Last Sunday, at the end of the week, I had a unique opportunity to look at Moscow through the eyes of birds. To do this, you do not need to buy a quadcopter, as almost all popular bloggers did. It's enough just to climb onto the roof. "Just ...", you laugh. But how can this be done if Luzhkov locked up all the roofs back in the early 2000s? I’ll talk about this later, but for now I’ll just tell you how this beautiful warm Sunday evening went.

So, for a successful climb to the roof, we need good weather, so that it is warm and there is a clear sky. Being on the roof in the rain and cold is not the most pleasant feeling, trust me.

So, first of all, you need to choose a suitable roof. You can start from your native area, because to see from a height those places where you walk every day is available to units. Any house from a height of 9 floors is suitable for this.
But if you really want to soar above the city, then you need to storm skyscrapers (from 16 floors and above).

1. The first problem that you will have to face is the intercom. You can open it in several ways:
a) wait until one of the tenants opens it and go along with it.
b) try to use the key from your own intercom. As a rule, it will fit 1 entrance out of 10.
c) call any apartment and posing as a courier ask to be let in.

2. You entered the entrance. But if this is a new building, then most likely the concierge will sit on the ground floor. A confident "muzzle with a brick" will help to pass it. Pre-look at the apartment numbers in the entrance so that you can answer the question which one you are going to.
3. You passed the water cerberus and reached the elevator. We rise to the penultimate floor and climb the stairs to another flight up. While you are walking, it's time to rub all the amulets and talismans in anticipation of good luck, on which the entire success of the event now depends.

4. So. You have come to a door that leads to the roof. It can be a hatch in the ceiling, or just a door blocking the stairs. If you called for good luck and the ZhEK employees showed negligence, then the door will be open and you will be able to climb through the technical floor to the long-awaited roof and breathe in a breath of freedom. Trust me, it's an amazing feeling! But what if there is a lock on the door? Unfortunately, there is only one legal method to open it. You need to have a familiar tenant of this house who can take the key to the lock from the managing organization or the housing office for work on the roof (installation of antennas, air conditioners, etc.). If you do not have such an acquaintance, then I can advise you to admire the city from the common balcony connecting the elevator hall with the fire escape. There is a good view from there, but only on one side. But perhaps this is exactly what you need. If not, then I advise you to watch the report to the end. There I will tell you about another way.

1. Suppose that you have successfully completed all the instructions and got out onto the roof. Then an unforgettable feeling of serenity will open up for you, you will seem to soar above the bustle of the city and above your problems. Well, a beautiful view will also be a good bonus!

2. From the roof you can see those objects that you don’t pay attention to from the ground. The unusual house in the foreground is the buildings of the N. N. Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The architectural ensemble was built in several stages. First, an egg-shaped turquoise building was built under the high-voltage installation. It housed the Special Sector of the Institute of Chemical Physics, to solve a complex of theoretical and experimental work in connection with the creation of the atomic bomb.
Then, in the 1950s, the rest of the buildings were built. Their facades are made in simple classical forms with remote four-column porticos of the Corinthian order:

3. Behind the institute buildings there is a building with a stunning balcony. It is incredible to see such a cool balcony made entirely of glass on a seemingly ordinary ordinary house. The thing is, it's not easy. It housed the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions. This is the main organ of all trade unions in the USSR:

4. Apparently, it was not in vain that the institute developed a nuclear bomb. How else can one explain this "nuclear fungus" in the sky over Moscow?

5. But let's finish the historical digression and start photographing. I recommend for these purposes to grab a tripod and use the delayed descent. This will reduce the effect of trembling hands:

6. Red signal lights can be found on high roofs, which show the height of the house at night. You should not break them, because they are a good subject for photography, in addition to their real purpose:

7. "Golden Brains" of the Russian Academy of Sciences:

8. Being on the roof you want to jump with delight!

9. In the meantime, sunset is approaching and people with cameras are looking for the most favorable angles.

First, an obsession “get on the roof” appears in the head. Imagine something different from the surface you walk on every day, collected from colorful photographs and mysterious. A call to a friend who was already “on the roof” once, several hours of waiting and on the way. A short briefing in the spirit of “do not approach the edge, do not make noise, walk along the joints”, so seriously and so simply.

We go into the courtyard, find the right front door. The door needs to be pulled. We take hold of the handle together and on “one, two, three” the magnet opens with a ringing. As it turned out, the door was “glued”, a little effort would have been enough. We go up the stairs, the third, fourth, fifth - the last, then the unknown begins. Low ceiling, another floor and a closed attic door. We check the elevator, fortunately through the window you can get directly to the roof.

Expect something like this

Scary at first. No not like this. There is no fear of heights. It's scary, because there is a stereotype - "it's dangerous." We crawl on our haunches to the ridge of the roof, sit down. You can look around. Residents of large cities almost do not see the horizon line, there is no space in the city, the city is suffocating. And here almost everything around you is a beautiful cloudy sky and only endless roof systems around, some smoothly flowing into others, shining in the sun. Somewhere in the distance the city is noisy, here, upstairs, it is noticeably quieter. The roof we sit on is non-metallic, rough to the touch, and non-slip. Therefore, it seems that going further along the roof system is very dangerous, slippery. So we sit in one place, got thermoses with tea - another stereotype - "to sit on the roof, look at the sky and drink tea." Enough for the first time.

Looks scary, but there's nowhere to fall

So a month goes by, almost every day a “new roof”. The first thing you consciously notice is that people don't look up, at the sky, at the rooftops. The anthill lives its own life. "Well, what's new upstairs?" For the second or third time, the fear of "danger" disappears - it is almost always absent. As long as you don't do stupid things on purpose, everything will be fine. Riding down an empty escalator in the subway is much scarier. A whole world opens up, each roof system in St. Petersburg is unique, there are many different ladders, passages, gloomy courtyards and beautiful views. This is an opportunity to visit “another world” while being in this one. This is an urban adventure, which you can get into "by slightly breaking the rules of the game." This is a study of the new, a study of another St. Petersburg, the existence of which is known to very few. For the first couple of years, this incentive is enough. Therefore, for example, "roofers", as such guys call themselves, they love to simply wander around hidden courtyards, wells, stunningly beautiful front and abandoned buildings. The main thing here is research, at least it was. Now the movement has changed quite a lot, someone does it for the sake of adrenaline, someone for the sake of getting into the media.

Inside the ball on the dome of the Singer House

Roofing is addictive. So interesting and unlike that it overshadows everything else. Then it smoothly flows into the type of activity of a seasonal kind - in winter it is colder and much more dangerous, which, however, with the advent of experience becomes almost as safe. The contents of the backpack gradually change, an adhesive plaster appears - sometimes you can get scratched by a sharp joint or a nail, gloves, a screwdriver - sometimes you can just unscrew the lock and screw it back, electrical tape - for “gluing” magnets on the doors and of course universal keys for front doors. Sometimes, on high climbs, descents, even a 5-meter rope will come in handy. A month later, you are already quite confident in your abilities, you clearly know what you can and cannot do, how to move around the roof in the rain - very carefully. Lie on the edge and look down no longer seems dangerous, in sunny weather you can even play cards or sunbathe.

In the summer you don't want to go down until sunset

Roofing is culture, and culture is mostly people. Almost no one does it alone. First you "climb" together, then the idea to call a friend appears. Not everyone will agree, not everyone will continue to do this, the influence of society is too great. Those who remain can safely be called best friends. For the first six months, “on your own” you look for interesting “points”, sometimes you take friends, look at photos from a height on the Internet. Then you “collide” on the same roof with other roofers, usually more experienced, you begin to communicate with them, understand the scale of the “movement”, slowly get to know everyone. This party, like any other, has its idols. And like any idol - a lot of fans. It's hard not to admire the man who met the dawn on the top of the dome of the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood or "conquered" the highest point of the tower's spire. Previously, there were their "heroes", popular and famous, their "legends and stories". Now all of Russia and the whole world are "subdued" by roofers, there are almost no "nebayans". Only a few remained cult characters, for example Vitaly Raskalov, who were able to get a huge audience with their rather specific skills. Or those who started risking their lives, really risking. Now there is mortality in roofing, before it was not.

On the dome of the Mukhinsky school

Gradually, you begin to participate more in "hanging out", mass walks on the roofs with five of us, with a team of five - in Rufer's slang, more than three is a "gay parade" because. very noisy and usually trashy. It’s no longer possible to get together with friends not “at the height” - why, it’s cooler on the roof. You even start playing “competition”, climbing where few people have been. Some people like to meet new girls, mostly underage girls, and take them on "walks" to fuck in the attic later. Some simply lead excursions - good money, however, their huge popularity almost “killed roofing”.

Sometimes you want something fun. There are a lot of empty flagpoles in St. Petersburg. A couple of years ago it was quite fun to hang funny flags on them. True, they are immediately removed and nothing remains except for photos. Some people like to spray fire extinguishers and burn fireworks, shoot videos about it and post it on the Internet. However, interesting stories happen all the time. If you take pictures of the administration building from the roof opposite, firemen and police may well come for you. “Having checked for terrorists”, they get upset and let go, but it is for the sake of such curious cases that some continue to do this years later. Bad things happen, often beyond your control. When one of the people climbing after you falls in a rather uncomplicated place from a height of two meters due to ignorance of elementary things and spends several days in the hospital, and then flaunts pins in the spine. Or when a man with a crowbar attacks one of you in the attic and manages to "make" him a small concussion. It rarely happens, but if you've been climbing for a long time, it happens. In general, now conflicts with tenants are the most common “trouble”. The reason is obvious - the excessive popularity of modern roofing and the "recklessness" of modern youth. Everything is easier with the police, they “take off” from the roofs much more often, but everything is very civilized. On the way to the department, you show and discuss photographs, usually ending with a phrase like: “Yes, for the sake of such photographs it is worth doing this. Sorry for delaying you, that's our job."

All for the sake of an avatar photo

A detachment of Cossacks with machine guns came to shoot us from the scaffolding on the dome of the Vladimir Cathedral. However, while the police waited for 3 hours, we managed to get into a conversation.
- That's not what you guys do, so I ran after women at your age.
Two hours later, they even made friends with the ringer, but it turned out that it was impossible to cancel the call to the police.
- This is our world, - throws the plate on the floor, it shatters into pieces. - This fragment is nature, this is science, and religion is needed to connect all this together in our minds.
I have never come across a better argument.

This is what the whole of Petersburg looks like without religion

St. Petersburg fans of roofs have an annual "attraction" - Scarlet Sails. During this holiday, without exaggeration, many thousands of people are torn to the roofs, because only from a height you can fully enjoy this amazing show. That year I watched from Kutuzovskaya embankment - the most “simple and ugly point”, the next from Millionnaya - the best place to look with your eyes, everything happens right in front of you, but it’s difficult to shoot, but climb Alye and “don’t let yourself be filmed before time" is much more difficult. However, most of the current roofers consider hide and seek in the attic in anticipation of the riot police and running around the roof as an integral part of roofing. This year I watched the Scarlet from the turret of St. Isaac's Cathedral, a great quiet place, quite difficult for the subsequent descent, especially if you don't want to wait until the morning, but anyway we succeeded. I think this attraction is over for me.

We are sitting in the attic of a house on Millionnaya Embankment, who is where, 40 people.
- Everyone stand, the riot police are working.
I jump out onto the roof and run across to the neighboring roof, imperceptibly descend to the dead-end attic, reach the end and hide in the corner. 10 minutes later, my friends come running. And so we sit, almost in an embrace, just in case, fenced off with boxes, listening to conversations on the radio and steps right above our heads. Fortunately, just before the fireworks, the police leave - lucky.

Typical roofer

The modern rufersky "hangout" can be divided into two groups. Most of these are girls and boys, mostly from 13 to 20 years old, in whose lives nothing interesting, nothing “worthwhile” has yet happened. They depend on others, do what is necessary - study in schools or universities. Roofing is an opportunity to break free, to do something almost unique, interesting, unusual - it's a "breath of freedom". Of course, some are attracted only by extreme sports or simple earnings, but most like the process itself, the very “informality” of roof climbing. The second, smaller part of the "roofers" are men from 20 to 50 years old, mostly photographers. They know exactly why they are doing it, they take almost no risk. Of course, many have been on the roof once or twice. Usually random people trying to feel the romance that led you 4 years ago. Why not?

Roofing is extreme

There are different ways to get to the top - fire escapes and scaffolding save you from long searches and the need to communicate with residents. However, most "penetrations" occur through the attic. It used to be easier, everything was open, the tenants were allowed on the roof for a “please”. I saw the end of this "epoch". Every year it’s getting tougher, if a few years ago few people wore a tool for “opening” locks, it was considered rather a bad form, then modern roof-climbers try not to leave the house without a crowbar, even the most fashionable Bulgarians wear it. The moral here is different, from the point of view of the "roofer" - before all the roofs were open, now they are unfairly closed, we are doing everything right. Photographers usually believe that the main thing is the shot, the permission to shoot is difficult to get, the end justifies the means. I did not look for excuses and almost always went only to "where it is open", it takes much more time but does not end with damage to property. And he always got where he wanted to be. Now that won't work anymore.

In the United States, swimming pools are built on the roofs of houses and barbecue parties are held, in Spain they arrange sunbathing areas, in Germany they plant vegetable gardens. And only in Russia the roofs of houses are locked with heavy locks, the keys to which, as a rule, are kept by unfriendly representatives of housing and communal services. There are even stickers in public transport in St. Petersburg with information that an open roof is a direct path to supporting terrorism. The Village decided to find out if a person can legally get the keys to the roof of their house.

How to legally get the keys to the roof?

We must understand the condition of the roofs in the city and how dangerous it can be to be on the roof. The sane chairman of the HOA will not let a person on the roof simply because it is dangerous. Some houses have tin roofs, and you can simply roll off them, not to mention the old foundation with a soft roof. Why walk on rooftops at all? The roof is not intended for walking or sunbathing, it has a certain technical function - to protect the house.

But many are confused by clause 4.6.1.22 of the Rules and Regulations for the technical operation of the housing stock, which says that "it is prohibited for persons who are not related to the technical operation and repair of the building to be on the roof."

Here we must recall paragraph 8 of Article 5 of the Housing Code, which tells us that "in case of inconsistency between the norms of housing legislation contained in other regulatory legal acts, the provisions of this Code, the provisions of this Code shall apply."

Thus, the Housing Code fully supports the right of the owner to have access to the roof. To obtain a key to the roof, the owner of an apartment in the house must apply in writing to his service company. If the public utilities refuse access, then you need to contact the Housing Inspectorate and the Prosecutor's Office.

The 360 ​​TV channel has compiled detailed instructions for those who dream of a rooftop winter garden.

A resident of Krasnogorsk, who secretly crashed on the roof, became an Internet star. On satellite maps, the residents of the house noticed a strange forest, and then reconnaissance was carried out by the copters of the 360 ​​TV channel. Now the enterprising owner will have to not only eliminate the beach on the roof, but also justify himself in court. So is it possible to relax on the roof of an apartment building and how to officially set up a garden on it, that is, transfer it to the category of “exploited”? Find the answer below.

Is it legal to stay on the roof

Sofa experts on the forums say that yes, it is allowed to be on the roof. As an argument, the sixth chapter of the Housing Code (Article 36) is cited, which states that the roof is a common house property, and all owners have the right to operate it. It is worth disappointing them: the function of the roof is to protect the house from precipitation, and we are talking about just such a use.

In addition, in 2003, the Gosstroy issued an order “Rules and norms for the technical operation of the housing stock” and clause 3.3.5 is unambiguous: “all basements, attics, roof entrances must be locked around the clock.” Only technicians of the management company who carry out supervision or repair work can be there, and no one else. One key should be at the ODS dispatcher, they will not give it to you under any pretext, the second - at the tenant of one of the apartments on the top floor.

Conclusion: officially the entrance to the roof is closed to everyone, you do not have the right to be there.

How to transfer your roof to the category of "exploited"

The only chance to get a legal access to the roof is to transfer it to the category of "exploited". If your house has a flat roof, then you have the right to plant a garden or any other recreation area on it. You just need to make it official. The first thing to do is to invite tenants to a meeting with the following agenda: registration of the roof in the ownership of the house. Because the roof of all high-rise buildings only nominally belongs to the residents, it does not appear in the cadastral passport. If two-thirds of the residents agree, then it is necessary to take the protocol with their signatures and go with it to Rosreestr.

After the roof is officially yours, you should initiate a meeting with a different agenda. Residents must decide what to do on the roof: a garden, a lawn, a mini-golf course, or something else. One option must be supported by two-thirds of the owners. It is also necessary to decide who is ready to chip in on this celebration of life. If agreed, sign the minutes of the meeting and go to the housing design institute, where they prepare your roof project in accordance with all standards and approve it in the housing inspection. You may have to strengthen the roof, remove cables, enclose the perimeter with a fence, and so on.

After that, we hold an internal competition. The owners choose a contractor who will carry out the repairs. Next, we proceed to the reconstruction itself. When all the work is done, we enter the terrace on the balance sheet of the house. The work will cost from 7 to 35 thousand rubles per square meter, that is, for 200 square meters - at least 1.5 million rubles. At the same time, there is a nuance - most likely, not everyone will give money for the arrangement of the roof, but according to the law, every owner has the right to use it. But it will be possible to be on this roof at least around the clock.
