Any building and structure are like an organism that is like a human being – feels bad, sick and starts to age sooner or later, so prevention is needed in time to prolong the life of a building. A large part of the population lives in apartment buildings built between 1960 and 1990, when the construction of residential buildings was widely expanded at that time, using standard designs and prefabricated reinforced concrete panel structures. Panels for building construction were produced at a very fast pace, not really following the technology to the fullest, but still the operating resources are equivalent to 35 to 40 years after their commissioning. Latvia is located in the temperate climate zone, which is located in both the southern and northern hemispheres. There are four seasons in this climate zone, so there are four weather changes a year. This means that the Latvian climate is by no means the most suitable for ensuring the operation of buildings. In order to maintain the building and ensure the longer service life of the building, any owner of the building must, in order to be safe, keep his property in a condition that does not endanger or harm neighbours, the surrounding residents or its occupants. Normative acts stipulate that the owners of a structure must ensure the maintenance of the structure and its elements during operation so as to comply with the essential requirements specified by the structure. According to the definition of the construction process in regulatory enactments, if the technical condition of a building is dangerous or damages the landscape, then the residents of this building are obliged to arrange the building through the real estate manager to the extent necessary for safe and comfortable operation.
