V.A. Yadov discussing the methods of documentary analysis noted that "the sociologist should show remarkable ingenuity in search of suitable documents, sometimes very unexpected". It was difficult to disagree with this, especially if it was an analysis of documents related to the activities of managing organizations and homeowners' associations in order to study problems in the field of housing sociology. However, at the current stage of regional informatization and the development of housing and communal services in the Russian Federation, we can talk about increasing the transparency of the entire industry, which gave access to an unlimited circle of people to documents and information on managing condominiums, which at the moment can be the subject of empirical sociological research.
