Economic and legal aspects of innovative development of housing stock of Ukraine

The article deals with the economic and legal aspects of the innovative development of the housing stock of Ukraine in conditions of European integration of Ukraine's economy. The current process of reforming the housing stock of Ukraine is connected with the creation of associations of co-owners of multi-apartment buildings (ACMHs), which are non-profit organizations that operate within the framework defined by the legislation of Ukraine. At present a specific list of housing management entities isn`t available. According to the analysis of legislative acts regulating relations in the sphere of housing, the following business entities can be singled out: the owner of a residential building or residential complex, the co-owner of the apartment building, the association of co-owners of an apartment building, a housing and services enterprise, a manager, a communal services provider, a consumer, an administrant. Among the participants in the provision of services in the sphere of housing management such entities should be distinguished as the consumer, the manufacturer and the administrant of housing and communal services. Co-owners of an apartment building can carry out management of the housing stock independently or by taking certain collegial decisions at the meetings. Process of housing management is characterized by the involvement of a hierarchy of management levels and multifunctionality. To have summarized in chronological order the changes in legislative and normative acts of Ukraine regarding the management of housing stock allowed us to establish that the effectiveness of the management of the entities of the housing stock is affected by the imperfection of the legal and regulatory framework of Ukraine. Contemporary economic state regulation of housing and communal sphere is carried out at the expense of tax, investment, budget, pricing policy and price regulation. Housing stock management process, in particular ACMHs, requires analysis of current management methods and accumulation of experience in applying innovative methods that will provide a sufficient level of managerial security. Highlighted are the factors for ensuring managerial security of housing sphere. There is the need to increase the amount of private-government co-financing of programs for reconstruction, restoration, major repairs, technical re-equipment of joint property in multi-apartment buildings and implementation of measures of energy efficiency in residential buildings of cities and villages of Ukraine
