Ukraine Shelter Cluster: Standard Operating Procedure for the Humanitarian Repairs of Common Spaces in Multi-Apartment Buildings

Attachments

This SOP aims to establish guidelines and procedures for the humanitarian repair of common spaces in multi-apartment buildings damaged due to conflict-related events. It aims to ensure that the repair works carried out meet minimum safety, quality, and regulatory standards while addressing the urgent needs of affected populations.

Compensation for the repair of damaged common property of multi-apartment buildings is not provided for by the current Ukrainian legislation; at the same time, the presence of damage to the common areas/spaces of the residential building that has not been repaired may be grounds for denial of government compensation for damage to apartments. This SOP will assist Shelter Cluster partners in supporting beneficiaries and ensuring access to relevant government programs.
