Until February 1, 2017, in the Republic of Crimea, state registration of ownership rights of individuals and legal entities (with the exception of state and municipal enterprises and institutions) for real estate properties located in whole or in part within 100 meters from the coastline of the Black and Azov Seas is not allowed.
A large number of capital construction projects are concentrated within these boundaries. Many of them were built in significant violation of urban planning and environmental norms and regulations, as well as on land plots whose intended purpose does not provide for the construction of corresponding facilities.
Despite these violations, these objects were gradually involved in civil law, and the ownership of unauthorized objects, as well as objects that pose a threat to the life and health of the population, passed to bona fide owners.
Now the Crimean authorities are working to identify and demolish such objects, which should generally be completed by February 2017.
Experts note that the promise of the Crimean authorities to clear the coast of illegal objects may lead to a banal redistribution of property.
