UATI HISTORY (Union of Administrative and Technical Inspections)
For Moscow the 1920s were a period of sharp deterioration of city territories. The many years of experience gained in city economics was broken. Commercial apartment buildings and private houses having lost their owners did not acquired new judicious ones, residential building stock had been ruined, and modern repair was not performed. Architectural and historical monuments of the past were doomed to long years of neglect. The city became dirty and uncared for. The system of control over development and sanitation was destroyed. All these factors caused the Executive Committee Presidium and Moscow Council on May 8, 1931 to create the City Special Sanitary Inspection.
From the regulations of Special Inspection: “Orders and demands of Special Inspection posed to Moscow establishments, enterprises and organizations in regard to the city? s sanitary and development are to be unquestionably fulfilled. “According to the regulations the Sanitary Inspection controlled new construction, building of secondary structures (which was widely used in the 1930s), monitored the movement of pedestrians and the means of transport and its proper appearance. But this is not the whole story. The Special Inspection had to provide organizations with building materials, labor power, mechanisms and equipment, take care of green spaces, lawns, arrange their guarding, and encourage inhabitants to increase green space areas while involving pioneers and young communists in this activity. “Later on the Special Inspection was released from a chain of responsibilities owing to the creation of Traffic Police, Health Inspection Services, Architectural Control, and Aesthetic Forestry Inspection.
Owing to the construction of the subway in Moscow it was necessary to urgently solve a chain of problems facing Moscow’ s organizations and underground builders. With this in view the Moscow Council has arranged a special group within the Inspection which had to monitor the subway construction.
A. Choroshilkin was appointed the first Head of the Inspection. In 1935 I. P. Kuznetsov was appointed the Head of the Inspection and from 1938 till 1939 the Inspection was headed by I. Marchenko.
The second half of the 1930s was characterized by building development caused by the reconstruction in Moscow. Moscow Council needed a strong controlling organization within its framework and owing to this on October 4, 1939 Moscow Council Executive Committee made a decision to place the City Special Inspection directly under the Moscow Council Presidium. New Regulations for Special Inspection dated 1939 were significantly changed in comparison with those of 1931. The set duties of Special Inspection was specified in detail, in particular in regard with digging; inspector? s rights had been defined. Paying particular attention to staff recruitment Moscow Council Executive Committee started to appoint people to these positions immediately at their meetings.
On the 2nd of August 1940 by Moscow Council? s Decree No. 1646 Special Inspection was renamed into Moscow Council Administrative Inspection.
1941. The Great Patriotic War started. Many Administrative Inspection employees were called-up for army service, entered the militia or started working in defense enterprises. On July 12, 1941 Moscow Council Executive Committee made a decision calling for personnel reduction and cost calculation of the Administrative Inspection. It was decided that in every Administrative Inspection regional department one responsible inspector would be left. To its pre-war numbers the Administrative Inspection personnel were restored only in February 1944.
From 1939 till 1987 the Inspection was headed by: A. M. Zolotukhin (from 1940), A. G. Vorobiev (from January 1942), I. Y. Antokolskiy (from April 1942), G. N. Gavrilov (from 1972), N. D. Zuzukin (from 1978 to 1987).
Up to 1987 Administrative Inspection had not changed its staff despite of the fact that Moscow boundaries became a bit wider. Significant scope of building and consequently increase of controlled objects caused an increased load on the Inspection? s staff and made monitoring more and more difficult.
In December 1987 Boris Sergeevich Kozyritskiy became the Head of Administrative Inspection who earlier was the Chairman of Solntsev Regional Council. By his initiative in March 1998 Administrative Inspection was reorganized into Board of administrative and technical inspections. Moscow City Executive Committee approved the new Regulations and structure of the Inspection.
Later according to the decree No. 823 of the CPSU Central Committee and USSR Cabinet Council dated July 8, 1989 “Regarding general scheme of Moscow national economic management “in order to develop the Inspection organizational structure, reduce the number of minor controlling organizations starting the 1st of January 1989 Moscow City Executive Committee founded Union of Administrative and Technical Inspections of Moscow city Executive Committee on the basis Board of administrative and technical inspections. The Union included: Administrative Inspection, Technical Inspection, City Gas Inspection, and the State Inspection of small boats.
B. S. Kozyritskiy headed the Inspection until 1992.
In 1992 I. S. Ischenko headed the Union of Administrative and Technical Inspections of Moscow Government (later on it was renamed into UATI). Under his and Moscow Government rule the association managed to be released from functions alien to the controlling body, to develop its material and technical basis and regulatory and legal framework.
In 2007 Moscow UATI was directly under the control of the Mayor of the city. In May H. A. Nozhipov was appointed the Head of the Association — he started his career as common inspector and had passed up the entire corporate ladder up to the Head of Administrative Technical Inspection of Central Administrative District.
