Summary
Apartment buildings maintenance is an ongoing process throughout the entire building life cycle consisting of activities that are well designed, timely implemented, technically and economically justified and efficient. Privatization has acquired a form of private ownership of an individual apartment or unit in an apartment building and divided rights and obligations related to common elements and parts of the building, which, as extremely important, include MEP systems. Since the laws governing this matter use the term common parts of the building (especially when it comes to maintenance obligations), this should refer to a category that is not just a room, and includes spaces which enable the functionality of the building and are used by all tenants, representing their common indivisible property. Tatjana JURENIĆ et al.: Possibilities for the Improvement of the Access to MEP Systems in Apartment Buildings systems in apartment buildings are the sanitary facilities (bathrooms and toilets) and kitchens due to the number of different installations necessary for proper functioning of these spaces. The aim of this paper is to propose possible solutions from the angle of the architectural profession in order to contribute to the theoretical basis and defining legal regulations regarding installations and their maintenance in apartment buildings
