"on the 22nd floor, one of the elevators was broken for months, and the rest of it went down from time to time, and we've had enough of it every day!"
In recent days, residents of unit 4 of building 7 of the xingyang xiao district, anping city, hebei province, reported to the chinese merchants on the news。
The owner reflects--
The elevator has been broken for months, and the residents are in trouble
The owners told the journalists that the module had been designed for two families, with 44 inhabitants, and had been occupied for almost 10 years. Residents said that one of the elevators had stopped at the beginning of the year and that after inspection of the property, it had been stated that “there was a need to replace the large frequency transformer at a cost of $120,000”, which would have to be repaired using a maintenance fund. But this is for months。
“the small maintenance of the elevators, which was quickly disposed of by the property industry, has been delayed since the amount of money was raised.” the residents were helpless to say that the other elevator was not the only one left. Even though the elevators are at their peak early and late, between 11 p. M. And 12 p. M. On 26 june, the elevators suddenly stopped for an hour and many people had to climb the stairs。
“twenty-two floors, young people are breathing so hard, an old man can't walk up to the 10th floor, sitting in the stairwell for a while.” the owner of a small district reported to the chinese merchants that a journalist had complained。
Property response -
Individual owners did not pay the maintenance fund and therefore could not apply for the maintenance fund
Residents reported that three or five of the 44 households had unpaid maintenance funds. “the houses were empty, and the houses were empty. They feel they don't have to pay without an elevator or a property permit, so they keep dragging.” one of the owners said, “but the others have paid the maintenance fund in accordance with the rules when they had their property certificates, and we want to fix the elevator with the maintenance fund, but the property industry says no.”
According to the owners, the sub-district property manager explained that under the service contract, maintenance costs of less than $500 were borne by the property, and that the elevator maintenance was over $10,000 and the maintenance fund had to be used. “we've talked to the community management staff, and we've been told that `as long as one family doesn't pay the fund, it won't work.' our property has no right to impose payments on the household, and the maintenance fund cannot be used. The owner is advised to carry out repairs at his own expense.”
The property manager also mentioned that he had contacted the owner of the non-payment fund to make a call, “the other side's attitude is that it doesn't live here, it doesn't work without a property certificate, and we can't afford to do so”. According to the property industry, “for the stoppage of another elevator last week, someone deliberately blocked the door on the 13th floor for three minutes, triggering the elevator to lock itself up. The security guards arrived in 15 minutes and recovered in half an hour.”
According to journalists, in order to be able to repair the elevator earlier, some owners have started to finance themselves, with a plan to pay $500 per household to repair the elevator first, but there is a perception that the plan is slow to proceed on the basis that the maintenance fund cannot be used and that it does not agree to a self-financing programme。
Housing authority response -
There is no provision for a “unworkable household” with a specific solution
In consultation with the head of the an ping county housing authority, the chinese businessman, the news journalist, has made it clear that there is no provision “which cannot be used as long as one household fails to pay for the maintenance of the elevators in the xingyang zhui district”。
He specified possible solutions: “one option would be to give households without a maintenance fund a proportionate amount of cash for the cost of the maintenance. For example, the maintenance was shared by 10 dollars per household, which was paid in cash by the households that had not paid the fund, thus allowing normal use of the maintenance fund. Another option is for the property to advance this portion of the cost, after all, the cost of maintenance is shared among the households, each household being able to calculate the amount to be borne and then recover it from the non-funded households.”
The officer-in-charge stressed that at the core was to ensure that maintenance costs reached every household, “it would not be fair to say that households that had already paid the fund would pay for the people who had not. At the same time, he mentioned that, as long as specific programmes were proposed, the housing authority would help explain how the costs should be paid, with the aim of resolving the problem。
“as long as more than two thirds of users agree to use the maintenance fund, the fund can be applied for. No application for the use of the maintenance fund has been received from the shangyang xiaoqiao district. As long as they submit their application, we will be guided by the facts.” he said。
