Collective complaint against neighbors: sample

In apartment buildings, you will definitely come across such a neighbor who “poisons life” for all other residents of the house. It doesn’t matter if he is rowdy, littering in the stairwell or arranging loud feasts - the precedent is solved by filing a complaint. This type of appeal to the competent authorities is more effective in a group form. Consider how to competently draw up a collective complaint against neighbors.

legality

A collective complaint is a legitimate type of appeal. It is mentioned in article 2 of the Federal Law No. 59 of 02.05.2006. Together, you can complain about anyone, and the fact of a dishonorable neighborhood is no exception.

To whom to complain

For the appeal to make sense, you need to complain to the right authorities. The official in whose name a group complaint will be filed is determined depending on the situation. Consider the most common of them. "Bad" neighbors can be divided into the following groups:

1. Drinkers, arranging constant binges. Such citizens, as a rule, do not work anywhere and are the perpetrators of arsons and floods. In addition, alcoholics and their guests smoke and litter in the stairwell, and also arrange noisy nightly “gatherings”. In the fight against such neighbors:
   • Visit an authorized district police officer, because the noise level should not exceed the permissible norms - 30 dB (Law "On Administrative Responsibility").
   • In case of flooding or fire, contact the housing inspectorate or other competent organization (housing and communal services, HOA, etc.). In this case, one cannot do without drawing up an appropriate Act, which will list the losses from the damage caused. If it is not possible to resolve the conflict peacefully, go to court with all the available documentation.
   • When neighbors litter on the floors of the entrance, complain to the Rospotrebnadzor service.
2. Animal lovers whose pets crap on stairwells and bark loudly. A trip to the district housing and maintenance organization, which monitors the maintenance of the "smaller brothers", will help here.
3. Residents who make repair and construction work around the clock. For these actions, the council should be sought in the housing and communal services department attached to your home.

Where to begin

The first thing to do is to find like-minded people in the house, for whom the behavior of a “careless” neighbor also prevents them from living peacefully, like you. The second is to study the normative documents in order to confirm your words with excerpts from the legislation (for example, Article 17 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation).

Sample Claim

So, if the neighborhood with a person is a source of general irritation, proceed to draw up a collegial claim. It must be understood that the sample of such a statement is not much different from the generally accepted one. Most importantly, consider some of the nuances:

• Draw up one document, under which the original signatures of each disgruntled tenant must be present, with a transcript of their last names, first names and patronymics. It would be useful to indicate the phone number of each complainant.
• Describe, point by point, the situations that have occurred with each citizen on behalf of whom the claim is being filed.
• When writing a statement, use the first person plural - "we, us" and describe what happened as if "from the side."

The rest of the group application form is standard:

1. Create a heading for the document. Specify in it:
   • addressee of the complaint;
   • personal data of each participant (name, phone numbers);
   • address of at least one citizen (to provide a response).
2. In the center, write "Collective complaint / statement" and begin to state the essence of the complaint. All facts should be described concisely and accurately, adhering to the style of business correspondence.
3. Specify the articles of the law to which you refer in the appeal.
4. In conclusion, ask the law enforcement officers to solve your problem. Write down exactly what results you want to achieve. For example: "to have a conversation with violent neighbors", "to evict the tenant of apartment No.".
5. Make out the final part with a list of team members, as well as their handwritten signatures.

You can easily make a collective complaint according to the model proposed below.
