Abstract

IN ENGLISH: The paper deals with maintenance and management problems in multi-family buildings in Zagreb and other Croatian cities from the perspective of co-owners’ representatives. After 1990, when there was intensive privatization of housing, the responsibility for the maintenance of the housing stock shifted to private owners and management companies. Apartment owners have been given the obligation to maintain multi-family buildings and have faced problems and challenges in maintaining and managing common property. The empirical research was conducted on a convenience sample of co-owners' representatives (N = 353) using the survey method. The results are analysed according to three construction periods of multi-family buildings: built before 1945, during the socialist period (from 1945 to 1990) and the post-socialist period (after 1991). The results show that in all three construction periods there are certain bigger or smaller shortcomings regarding the building quality, and then the maintenance. The paper concludes that insufficient financial and organisational resources, insufficient engagement of managers, inadequate collaboration between representatives and managers, and weak energy renovation of multi-family buildings are some of the most important problems faced by co-owners’ representatives. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Rad se bavi problemima održavanja i upravljanja višestambenim zgradama u Zagrebu i drugim hrvatskim gradovima iz perspektive predstavnika suvlasnika. Nakon 1990. i intenzivne privatizacije stanovanja, odgovornost za održavanje stambenog fonda prebačena je na privatne vlasnike stanova i upravljačke tvrtke. Vlasnici su dobili obvezu održavanja višestambenih zgrada te su se suočili s problemima i izazovima koje održavanje i upravljanje zajedničkim vlasništvom donosi. Empirijsko istraživanje provedeno je na prigodnom uzorku predstavnika suvlasnika (N = 353) korištenjem metode ankete. Rezultati su analizirani prema tri razdoblja izgradnje stambenih zgrada: izgrađenih prije 1945., za vrijeme socijalističkog razdoblja (od 1945. do 1990.) i u postsocijalističkom razdoblju (nakon 1991.). Rezultati pokazuju da u sva tri razdoblja izgradnje postoje određeni veći ili manji nedostaci vezani za kvalitetu gradnje te zatim i održavanje. U članku se zaključuje da nedostatna financijska i organizacijska sredstva, nedostatan angažman upravitelja, nedovoljna suradnja između predstavnika i upravitelja, te slaba energentska obnova višestambenih zgrada predstavljaju neke od najvažnijih problema s kojima se suočavaju predstavnici suvlasnika.
