As Mr. Gorbachev said, "what is not prohibited is permitted." It’s hard to disagree. It remains to find out whether heating in the yards is prohibited or not?
SDA in this regard, in general, shyly crumple. In them, even the term "residential area" is indicated somehow clumsily, and even then not at the beginning, where the basic concepts and terms are listed, but only in paragraph 17.1. Say, I mean the territory, the entrances and exits to which are indicated by signs 5.21 and 5.22. But the above-mentioned signs, in fact, are not needed by anyone, because a little lower, in paragraph 17.4 of the same section, it says: "The requirements of this section also apply to yard territories." Okay, we figured it out: we will assume that the living area and the yard are the same thing.

Now we are looking for what is specifically prohibited? Aha - parking with a running engine is prohibited (paragraph 17.2 of the SDA)! And article 12.28 of the Code of Administrative Offenses stipulates and punishment - 1000 ₽. If the violation occurred in one of the two capitals, then you already have 3, 000 ₽.
It remains to remember what a "parking". This is when we stand for more than 5 minutes without any unloading and landing. Therefore, before the expiration of these 5 minutes, we have every right to warm up the car in full accordance with the Law - this is not considered parking!
However, for lovers of motor rattling, there is a more tidbit loophole. Indeed, in the SDA nothing is said about the stop (not about the parking!) With the engine running. A stop can last as long as you like, if at this time the driver is busy loading / loading or landing / disembarking. And if the driver and passengers portray vigorous activity around the open trunk and the doors open - they say it is landing and loading, then it will be quite difficult to find fault with this.
Thus, it turns out that at the level of the Law it is difficult to prove someone is right. The motorist will confidently nod at his watch and at the traffic rules, and a disgruntled pensioner from the first floor will prove that he has nothing to breathe.
It seems to me that in such cases common sense and elementary politeness should come to the rescue. A little-educated motorist is obliged to understand that even if the law is on his side, he will never wait for any sympathy from local residents. Therefore, it is necessary to get out of the neighboring windows as soon as possible: I started the cold engine, quickly brushed away the snow that fell over night, and - slowly on the way. Otherwise, sooner or later, a UFO will land on its roof (or head?) In the form of a bottle accidentally dropped from the top floor.

As for the "natives", they need to learn how to distinguish outright rudeness from technical necessity. It’s one thing when a good man who has entered the courtyard has been rattling the engine for half an hour, waiting for a late girlfriend - this person is wrong, even if he has Euro-6. And it’s completely different when the driver needs to leave after a frosty night parking. Not a single internal combustion engine can warm up instantly - this is a fact to be reconciled with. Yes, and a frozen windshield does not instantly become transparent - electric heaters and other stoves come to the aid of scrapers. Therefore, a little poke still have to. In addition, not everyone understands that even if a person is driven out of the courtyard in an ice machine - he says, he will warm up on the road, then all the ooo, ooo-oo and oo-o-u will not disappear anywhere, but simply spread out throughout the microdistrict, and in large quantities.
It is impossible to come up with a Law that describes the nuances of our behavior in conceivable and inconceivable situations. Yes and no need, as it seems to me: after all, we are still people, not autopilots. And in some cases a person just needs to behave in such a way as not to spoil the life of his neighbor.
As a rule, this can be quite simple.
