Oil company Sahatransneftegaz evaluates the top and bottomperformers among UK entities and the TSC of Yakutsk
In the realm of communal service management in Russia, the search for a reliable and trustworthy managing company has become a priority, especially with the availability of lists of unreliable performers such as that provided by AO "Sakhatransneftegaz."
- Compliance with Legal and Financial Regulations
A reliable managing company should adhere to federal and regional laws governing communal services, including licensing requirements and financial sanctions. Entities involved should not be subject to sanctions or restrictions similar to those listed for banks and corporations in Russia.
- Verification Against Unreliable Performer Lists
Before contracting a managing company, it is crucial to consult lists like the one provided by AO "Sakhatransneftegaz" to avoid engaging companies flagged for poor performance, non-compliance, or financial mismanagement.
- Transparency and Accountability
Transparent records and clear reporting on service delivery and budgeting are essential for reliable managing companies. This level of accountability is akin to that expected from corporate entities managing funds and operations within regulatory frameworks.
- Reputation and Track Record
Choosing companies with proven experience and positive reputations in managing communal services is vital. This includes checking references, past contract performance, and any historical complaints or sanctions.
- Confirmation of Licenses and Certifications
The company must hold the appropriate licenses for managing communal services and demonstrate compliance with sector standards, which may be overseen by local housing or municipal service regulators.
- Avoidance of Sanctioned or Risk Entities
Though not directly related to communal services, government sanctions against certain Russian entities underscore the importance of thorough due diligence to avoid indirect engagement with sanctioned entities or their affiliates.
As no explicit, updated Russian federal guideline for communal service managing companies is found, it is recommended to combine official regulatory sources from Russian housing authorities, regional administrations, and the AO "Sakhatransneftegaz" list of unreliable performers to vet candidates carefully.
- Consequences for Non-compliance
Repeated violation may lead to the loss of a license, and the work of managing companies is checked by UGZhN of the RS (Y). An administrative fine is imposed for violation of licensing requirements, and AO "Sakhatransneftegaz" applies legal measures to debtors and involves law enforcement agencies.
- Current Debt Situation
As of July 23, 2025, several companies owe a total of 20.463 million rubles to the gas supplier. Among these, LLC "YATS" is the largest overdue debtor, owing 2.667 million rubles, followed by LLC "Central" (2.971 million rubles), LLC "Budgetnik" (6.154 million rubles), LLC "Tsvetkov" (1.875 million rubles), LLC "Tepliy Klyuch" (2.593 million rubles), and TSC "On Kirova" (2.953 million rubles).
- Switching to a New Managing Company
Owners and residents have the right to switch to another managing company if they find improper actions. The anti-rating on the website of AO "Sakhatransneftegaz" is updated monthly and published on the website - https://aostng.ru/fizicheskim-litsam/antireyting/.
- Recommendations
The sales department of AO "Sakhatransneftegaz" recommends careful selection and monitoring of managing companies. AO "Sakhatransneftegaz" has added 17 managing companies and TSCs to its list of unreliable performers of communal services.
By following these guidelines, residents and decision-makers can make informed choices when selecting a managing company for communal services in Russia, ensuring reliability and accountability in servicing communal needs.
- Financial Stability and Responsibility
A reliable managing company should demonstrate financial stability, promptly settling their obligations, such as gas supplier debts, without amassing large amounts of overdue payments, as shown by the current debt situation.
- Relationships with Regulatory and Transparency Bodies
Ideally, the managing company should actively engage with regulatory bodies, such as the UGZhN of the RS (Y), and transparency platforms, like the one provided by AO "Sakhatransneftegaz," to address issues and continually improve their industry standing and accountability.
