Appealing Decisions of the State Architectural and Construction Control (DABK) Authorities

State architectural and construction control is carried out through scheduled and unscheduled inspections according to territorial jurisdiction. During such inspection measures, officials of the state architectural and construction control authorities (hereinafter referred to as “DABK authorities”) have the right, in particular, to:

  • Unimpeded access to construction sites;
  • Draw up protocols on committed offenses, prepare inspection reports, and impose fines in accordance with the law;
  • In the event of detecting a violation of the legislative requirements in the field of urban planning activities, construction norms, standards and regulations, urban planning terms and restrictions, an approved design or a construction passport for developing a land plot, issue mandatory instructions to correct them.

Often, these control measures carried out by the DABK authorities lead to unlawful decisions that must be challenged in court.
