Is the wall in the housing cooperative load-bearing?

[16386]

And probably these are made of iron or steel. In a building of this kind, there are relatively few load-bearing internal walls; instead, there are load-bearing columns and the walls around the stairwell. Plus the exterior walls.

I perceived the green as your apartment?
The blue ones look like load-bearing walls.
The red is what you want to remove. They are not included in the drawing of the building's load-bearing parts, so it shouldn't be a problem. However, you must check the ventilation, the kitchen should have an exhaust, but it was previously where you have a small bedroom today.

You must always check with the board before making this type of alteration in a br. Even if they are not load-bearing parts, they can say no to the measure and require restoration if you've already managed to remodel.
Unfortunate for those affected.

Man måste alltid kolla med styrelsen innan man gör den här typen av ingrepp i en br. Även om det inte är bärande delar så kan de säga nej till åtgärden, och kräva återställning om man redan hunnit bygga om.
Surt för dem som drabbas.

Säkert, men jag har inga planer på att bygga om någon BRF, jag bor i villa ;-)

You must always check with the board before making this type of intervention in a br. Even if it is not load-bearing parts, they can say no to the action, and require restoration if you have already rebuilt.
It's unfortunate for those affected.

No, the board's permission is required for interventions in load-bearing walls, not for non-load-bearing walls.

No, the board's approval is required for alterations to load-bearing walls, not for non-load-bearing walls.

Exactly, different associations naturally have different statutes. Here, they're strict regarding changes, and those who haven't received what they call "building permit" must restore upon sale. They inspect when you're about to sell, both outside (so you haven't built too large a deck, so-called "dansbana" according to them) and inside.

So you could say that you should check the statutes upon purchase and before making changes. It's annoying if you've bought and planned modifications that you then can't implement.

Sure, but I have no plans to remodel any housing cooperative, I live in a house ;-)

It was more of a reply to ts

Exactly, different associations naturally have different regulations.
Here, changes are difficult, and those who haven't received what they call "building permits" must restore upon sale.
They inspect when you're going to sell, both outside (so you haven't built too large a deck, so-called "dance floor" according to them) and inside.

So you could say that you should check the regulations when buying and before making alterations. It would be unfortunate if you've bought and planned changes that you then cannot execute.

But what some uninformed associations miss is that the regulations cannot conflict with the housing cooperative law. And there, the responsibilities for external and internal maintenance are defined. The regulations can only handle the gray areas in between. So there's no talk of any "building permits" from the association.

The possibility for the housing cooperative owner to lay decks is often significantly restricted because the land is not part of the granted housing cooperative. In other words, a potential deck generally falls under the association's decision-making authority and is limited by a usufruct that the association has given the housing cooperative owner.
