Timely implementation of repair activities for buildings and structures, particularly of minor and major repairs underlie the safe operation of real estate and guarantee its long-term and effective use. Current requirements contained in Russian regulatory documents form the basis for the planning of maintenance activities’ performing. The paper focuses on maintenance activities as part of the property management concept. The general ideas of minor and major repairs as integral measures at the stage of operation of buildings and structures are presented in the paper. All the necessary prescriptions for the maintenance of buildings and structures are formulated quite fully and clearly in terms of legislation. The basic principles of approaches to the repair activities’ performing will remain the same for a long time. However, regularization of the procedural processes of operation, taking into account all the mechanisms that are available for today, is a matter of not only preserving and efficiently using capital construction objects, as well as maintaining their safety, but also information content of such technologically complex units, as buildings or structures under conditions of modern urban environment.
