General information [p. 57]
1. Information about the building should be determined only in case of buildings housing more than one dwelling. In case there are two or more enumerated dwellings in the building, indicate information about the building only in the first enumerated dwelling.
2. Information about the buildings housing the dwellings which are managed by legal persons and organizational units without legal personality will be given by the administrative authorities of these buildings.
This information will be given before the census on auxiliary forms, Characteristics of building or they will be directly given to the enumerators, which will contact the administrative authorities in the day of conducting the census.
The forms with Characteristics of Building, after they have been used, should be returned to the enumeration office with the whole set of enumeration materials.
3. Information about the individual buildings owned by private persons i.e. about single-family houses and the so-called small dwelling-houses should be determined by the enumerator during the census and be directly filled-in to the Questionnaire A.
Question 2. Who is the owner(ship) of the building? [p. 58-59]
1. An owner(ship) of the building is a private or a legal person or an organizational unit without legal personality holding the tenure corroborated by an inscription in the real estate register or other document corroborating the tenure in case of lack of the register.
While determining the answer only the tenure of the building should be taken into consideration. The land on which the building stands does not have to be owned by the entity owning the building, it may be held in form of a hereditary tenure.
2. A building legally owned by several subjects present in the land and mortgage register is a common real estate.
3. For buildings owned by one party/subject (i.e. there is no space being a separate part of another subject/party) use answers marked by symbols 1-8.
Answer 3. Community (gmina)-regards buildings:
Owned entirely by community or powiat (local condominium),
Handed over to the community (gmina), but remaining/being at the disposal of public utility units, such as: healthcare units, welfare/social assistance units, educational units, cultural institutions.
Page 29Answer 4. State Property -- should be selected for buildings entirely owned or managed by the entities mentioned in explanations of question 2, section 5, answer 5.
Answer 5. Working establishment company in public sector- regards buildings owned by state and municipal (excluding housing management companies) and state organizational units e.g. universities, research and scientific institutes, art institutions.
Include buildings in category 5 also in case when a working establishment company in public sector has been changed into a public purse one-man company.
Answer 6. Working establishment company in private sector -- regards buildings entirely owned by private working establishment companies, as well as various cooperative societies e.g. labor, medical, agricultural, with the exception of housing cooperatives.
Answer 7. Social building company and answer 8. Other -- select according to the rules described in section V, question 2, answer 7,8 (establishing the ownership of dwelling).
4. Answers from 9 to 12 regard buildings which are common real estate where all or particular dwelling spaces are separate properties of private and/or legal persons. The total number of dwelling owners in the building is the so-called condominium.
Answer 11 -- concerns a building where parts of the dwellings are separate properties of private persons, and the remaining dwellings are owned by a working establishment company in public or private sector.
Category 11 also comprises buildings formerly owned by State Agricultural Farms [PGR] (formerly included into dwelling stock of the working establishments). After the liquidation of PGR, these buildings were taken over by State Agricultural Property Agency which sold part of the dwellings to private persons afterwards. The remaining ones are still kept by the Agency.
Answer 12- regards buildings which are owned by entities other than mentioned in categories 9-11 e.g. community and working establishment company, community -- private persons and working establishment company.
This category also comprises housing cooperative buildings which, after the enforcement of the act on housing cooperatives from 15th December 2000, established separate properties of certain dwelling spaces in favor of private persons.
Answer 13 - concerns buildings which are common real estate but dwellings have not been rendered separate property e.g. particular co-owners do not have a separate real estate register on their own name since there is only one register for the whole building and it describes (in per cent) particular co-owners share of the building (usually regards beneficiaries of the owner of the building, who was a private person)
