If the view from the window interferes with the entry of sunlight into the apartment, the owner is entitled to compensation. Public figure and expert on housing and communal services Dmitry Bondar spoke about this.
-The view from the window is not a property. But in some cases it is possible to obtain compensation or a reduction in the cost of housing. For example, in cases of violation of insolation and lighting standards. The expert pointed out that the new building should not deprive your apartment of sunlight.
According to Bondar, strict standards have been set for continuous solarization of living rooms. In the central part of Russia, it should be at least two hours a day from April 22 to August 22. The specialist also stressed that if the view from the window completely deprives the apartment of sunlight, this may be a violation of the article of the Federal Law “On Sanitary and Epidemiological Care of the Population.”
In addition, sometimes a developer may deliberately hide plans to build a nearby building. In this case, according to Bondar, the owner must go to court News.ru.
