Hello! There is a residential private house, which was commissioned in 1999. Gas pipe entry made through the roof. Gas workers have drawn up an act to identify violations of the rules for protecting gas distribution networks and require entry through the wall. Is this rightful? And why should I do this? After all, there is an act on the acceptance of commissioning.

    Hello Svetlana. In your case, it is necessary to refer to the fact that the gas input is made in accordance with the rules and regulations. In addition, you have in your hands an act on acceptance of commissioning, which is actually drawn up and signed by representatives of the gas company. However, to give a more accurate answer, I need to read the wording of the written requirement.

    If the gas industry workers refer to the fact that the commissioning was initially performed not according to the rules, then the existence of an act on the acceptance of commissioning obliges them to fix these problems on their own. Since the mistake was made by an employee of the gas service.

    If it comes to changing the rules, then you will have to redo the input at your own expense. Please, attach the exact wording of the written demand from the gas workers. If there is no requirement in writing, but only verbally, you can safely do nothing and ask for written confirmation.

    Hello. It is not clear on what basis you have made such a gas injection into the house. Was this done on the approved project? If you deviated from the project, it will be problematic to prove that gas workers let gas into your home in this situation.

    I have suspicions that if it comes to a showdown, they will still attribute unauthorized reconnection if entry through the roof is not provided anywhere. Just to not be responsible. Say, we don’t know anything, we connected when everything was done according to the project. Here in general you need to look at the documentation.
