ON DEMOLISHING (DISMANTLING) THE BUILDING LOCATED AT THE END OF SILIKYAN
STREET 5, AJAPNYAK ADMINISTRATIVE DISTRICT, YEREVAN CITY, AND VACATING
THE LAND PLOT WHICH IS COMMUNITY PROPERTY

1. Description of the issue resolved by the administrative act.
   Construction works of a building have been carried out without land use
   rights and without appropriate permission on a land plot belonging to the
   community of Yerevan, located at the end of Silikyan Street 5, Ajapnyak
   administrative district, Yerevan, thereby encumbering the land plot which is
   community property.
2. Facts serving as a basis for adopting the administrative act.
   As a result of a comprehensive, full, and objective examination of the
   factual circumstances of the administrative case, the administrative body
   considers the following to be established by the evidence obtained:
   a. Construction works of a building have been carried out without land
   use rights and without appropriate permission on a land plot belonging to the
   community of Yerevan, located at the end of Silikyan Street 5, Ajapnyak
   administrative district, Yerevan, and the land plot encumbered thereby is
   actually used illegally, as there is no right formalized in the manner
   prescribed by the legislation of the Republic of Armenia with respect to that
   land plot.
   b. The aforementioned unauthorized building has actually encumbered the
   land plot which is the property of the Yerevan community, therefore it has
   become necessary to vacate the said land plot from the unauthorized building
   encumbering it.
3. Justification for adopting the administrative act.
   According to Article 2, Point 2 of Law HO-397-N "On making additions and
   amendments to the Civil Code of the Republic of Armenia", in accordance with
   the Government decision (hereinafter in this article) establishing the
   procedure for registering buildings constructed and unauthorized buildings
   before the entry into force of this law

Government Decision) the regulations concerning the legalization of unauthorized constructions, including the provisions of subordinate legal acts adopted on their basis, apply to unauthorized constructions (sections of unfinished unauthorized constructions) registered in the manner prescribed by law. The Government may establish peculiarities for the legalization of unauthorized constructions (sections of unfinished unauthorized constructions) provided for in this part.

According to part 1 of Article 188 of the Civil Code, an unauthorized construction is a building, structure or other construction built or reconstructed or placed on a land plot not allocated for that purpose in the manner prescribed by law and other legal acts, or without permission or with significant violations of the conditions established by the permission or urban planning norms and rules, and according to point 1 of part 1, an unauthorized construction cannot be recognized as legal and is subject to demolition (dismantling). The procedure and terms for the demolition (dismantling) of such a construction are established by a decision of the Government of the Republic of Armenia. According to part 2 of the same article, the owner of the land plot, including the acquirer of the land plot with an unauthorized construction, bears the risks associated with the use of the unauthorized construction located on it and the demolition (dismantling) of the unauthorized construction. According to part 3 of the same article, the owner of the land plot has the right to demolish the unauthorized construction located on his land plot without applying to court. Decisions on the demolition (dismantling) of unauthorized constructions located on state or community-owned land plots are made by the authorized bodies established by law. An unauthorized construction located on another person's land plot is subject to demolition (dismantling) at the claim of the state, community or other interested person whose rights and legally protected interests have been violated, and the land plot is subject to restoration to its previous state at the expense of the owner of the land plot. The person who carried out an unauthorized construction on another person's land plot is obliged to compensate the owner of the land plot for the damage caused, including the costs of demolishing (dismantling) the unauthorized construction and restoring the land plot to its previous state. According to part 6 of the above-mentioned article, the peculiarities of registration of rights to real estate with unauthorized constructions are regulated by the law on state registration of rights to property and other legal acts adopted on its basis. Unauthorized constructions cannot be recognized as legal and are subject to demolition if they are built on land plots defined by Article 60 of the Land Code of the Republic of Armenia, as well as in alienation or safety zones of engineering and transport facilities, or are built with significant violations of urban planning norms and rules and give rise to the right to demand compulsory servitude.

Point 2 of Decision No. 912-N of the Government of the Republic of Armenia of May 18, 2006, stipulates that the following unauthorized constructions are not subject to legalization:
a. the preservation of which violates the rights and legally protected interests of other persons or poses a threat to the life and health of citizens.

b. which are built on a land plot defined by Article 60 of the Land Code, as well as in the alienation or safety zones of engineering and transport facilities, or are built with significant violations of urban planning norms and rules and give rise to the right to demand compulsory servitude. Point 44 of the procedure approved by the same decision stipulates that the legalization of unauthorized constructions provided for by this procedure is rejected by a corresponding decision if they do not meet the conditions for legalization defined by Article 188 of the Civil Code and this procedure.
According to Article 33 of the appendix to Decision No. 912-N of May 18, 2006, of the Government of the Republic of Armenia, the head of the community, on his own initiative, adopts a decision on the legalization or demolition of unauthorized constructions located on state or community-owned land plots.
According to Article 44 of the Land Code, the right of citizens and legal entities to own, use, and dispose of land plots at their discretion is a right, subject to the restrictions and other conditions provided by law, and the right of ownership of citizens and legal entities to land plots arises on the basis of privatization of state and community lands, inheritance, purchase and sale, donation, and other transactions and legal facts related to land.
According to Part 5 of Article 26 of the Law "On Urban Planning", in the territories of communities, the head of the community supervises the implementation of architectural and planning assignments given to developers, the requirements of the urban planning regulations of settlements, the targeted urban planning use of lands and fixed property, as well as prevents, suspends cases of unauthorized construction and ensures the elimination of their consequences in the manner prescribed by law.
According to Point 6 of Part 1 of Article 55 and Point 1 of Part 1 of Article 59 of the Law "On Local Self-Government in the City of Yerevan", the Mayor of Yerevan, as a mandatory authority, organizes the work carried out by the heads of administrative districts aimed at suspending unauthorized constructions and eliminating unauthorized constructions, as well as suspending and eliminating illegal land use.
According to Part 3 of Article 36 of the Law "On the Fundamentals of Administration and Administrative Procedure", if, after initiating an administrative procedure, the administrative body has the necessary documents for adopting the corresponding administrative act, and the circumstances of the case are sufficiently clarified and specified, then the administrative body is obliged to adopt the administrative act within a reasonable time after the emergence of the mentioned circumstances, without waiting for the expiration of the general or special term.
According to Point "a" of Part 3 of Article 38 of the Law "On the Fundamentals of Administration and Administrative Procedure", hearings are not held if there is a need to immediately adopt an administrative act, as delay can lead to the emergence of any danger to the public.

According to Part 1 of Article 60 of the Law "On Fundamentals of Administration and Administrative Proceedings", a written administrative act shall enter into force from the day following the notification of the adoption of that act in the manner prescribed by Article 59 of the same law, unless otherwise provided by law or by that act.
