In Tula, a developer from the GC " Sovremennik" lost the claim for 5.9 million and became mired in the courts

From the materials of the case, it is known that as early as March 2024, a contract was concluded between IE Davydova and LLC "ZhK-Baltisky-5" for the installation of a gas supply system at the "Baltisky Residential Quarter", stage 10/5" in the village of Petrovsky Leninsky, Tula region. The cost of work under the contract amounted to 5.9 million rubles.

The contractor completed the work in full and on February 4, 2026, the parties signed the acceptance certificate without disagreement. However, as the court found, the developer did not fulfill the obligation to pay: neither in the three-day period stipulated by the contract, nor after the pre-trial claim sent in March 2026, the money was paid.

On the part of LLC "ZHK-Baltic-5" representatives to the court did not appear, no response to the claim was submitted, no objections on the merits of the stated requirements were stated. Proof of payment or poor performance of the work was also not provided. The court regarded this as an admission of the circumstances to which the plaintiff refers.

As a result, the court ordered the developer to pay the contractor 5.9 million rubles of principal debt and 310.3 thousand rubles of penalty for late payment. In addition, a penalty was recovered from the defendant, which continues to accrue 0.01% of the amount of the debt for each day of delay - up to full repayment. Legal expenses in the form of a state fee in the amount of 210 thousand rubles are also assigned to the developer.

From the files of the Arbitration Court, you can learn that other claims were filed against LLC "ZHK-Baltic-5". In particular, two lawsuits against the developer this year were filed by TNS Energo Tula JSC, it was about collecting debt for electricity in the amount of 12.7 and 45.2 thousand rubles. One of these vessels has already been completed, the other is still ongoing.

Recall, the developer of LLC "ZHK-Baltic-5" is well known to Tulyaks. And not always from the best side. Dozens of applications from private individuals have been filed against the company since the beginning of 2025. The plaintiffs in them were equity holders who bought apartments in houses built by LLC "ZHK-Baltic-5". They challenged the requirements of the firm for additional payments for purchased housing, as the area of apartments allegedly was slightly larger than in the contract.

The amount of additional payments ranged from 200 thousand to 500 thousand rubles. Some of these vessels have already been completed, the claims of the owners were partially satisfied, others are still ongoing. About these courts, in which the shareholders of the LCD "Contemporary in Petrovsky" participated, Tula media at one time wrote.

But no one wrote anything else. It turns out that in April 2025, the Office of Rospotrebnadzor in the Tula region conducted an unscheduled inspection of LLC “ZHK-Baltic-5” on the complaint of one of the shareholders.

One of them in his statement indicated that in November 2023 between him and LLC "ZHK-Baltic-5" was signed an agreement for an apartment with a total estimated area of 51.5 square meters at a price of 92 thousand 479 rubles per square meter. The total cost of the facility amounted to 4.7 million rubles.

According to the contract, a balcony of 2.94 square meters was included in the total area of the apartment, and without the use of a reducing factor. The living area is 19.85 square meters, the area of auxiliary use rooms is 28.71 square meters.

The Agency indicated that in accordance with the federal law “On participation in shared construction”, if part of the premises are loggia, veranda, balcony or terrace, the price of the contract is determined through the total given area – with the use of reducing coefficients.

According to the supervisory authority, the developer unreasonably included the full area of the balcony in the estimated area of the apartment, which led to an overestimation of the contract price for the equity holder. As a result of an unscheduled inspection, Rospotrebnadzor announced a warning to the developer - a warning measure aimed at preventing possible violations of mandatory requirements in the future. That was the end of it.
