Permission from the Moscow Housing Inspectorate for redevelopment is a mandatory document if serious repairs are planned, due to which the layout of the apartment changes. If partitions are demolished or erected, new openings appear in the walls, plumbing is moved, such permission cannot be avoided. However, there are a number of works that can be approved in a simplified manner - according to a sketch or even performed without permission.

Let's consider what the Moscow Housing Inspectorate, in principle, will not approve and for what work in practice permits may not be obtained, although apartment owners think that it is necessary. At the end of the article there is a comparative table on the order of approval of the most common repair work.

Work that can be done without permission

Redevelopment or reconstruction are works that are reflected in the BTI plan. This includes dismantling partitions, moving plumbing fixtures, and new doorways in load-bearing walls. If the work is not shown on the apartment plan, it is not a redevelopment. There is no need to coordinate them - even if you come to the Moscow Housing Inspectorate with such a request, it will not provide the service.

Sometimes it happens like this: people think that they are doing a serious, major renovation and it must be approved by the Moscow Housing Inspectorate, but in reality there is no need for any design documentation, just like ordering a BTI plan, paying fees and waiting for permission. You can simply make repairs without contacting any authorities.

Criteria by which it can be understood that coordination with the Moscow Housing Inspectorate is not required:

  • the partitions inside the apartment remain in place;
  • door and window openings remain in place;
  • the doors themselves remain where they are provided for on the BTI plan;
  • the floor design does not change;
  • plumbing, pipes, gas pipelines - everything remains in place.


The apartment plan shows where the doorways are located and whether there are doors in them.
If the door is dismantled and an arch is designed, this is a redevelopment, since this is not indicated on the BTI plan. If you replace the door with another one, even if it opens in the other direction, it will not be a redevelopment, since nothing will change on the plan. Examples of work that do not need to be approved:

  • replacing electrical wiring when walls need to be tapped;
  • laying new pipes for the bathroom;
  • leveling walls for painting or wallpaper;
  • installation of new doors;
  • window replacement;
  • replacement of bathtub, toilet, sink, sink;
  • finishing the room - painting walls, replacing wallpaper and ceiling coverings.

These works are not considered redevelopment and do not require approval even if the apartment owner wishes. If you submit documents to the Moscow Housing Inspectorate with a request to issue a permit for such work, it will refuse. In accordance with Moscow Government Decree No. 508-PP, permission in principle is not issued for work that does not involve changes to the BTI plan.
