Recently, Cheng Liang (pseudonym), a resident of Beijing, consulted a reporter from the Beijing News that there are some public facilities in the community where he lives that need to be repaired
Answer: In response to Cheng Liang's question, lawyer Wang Jiahong, executive director of Beijing Jinsu Law Firm, said that the special maintenance fund for residential buildings can be roughly understood as funds for maintenance, renewal and transformation of common parts of residential buildings and common facilities and equipment after the expiration of the warranty period. Article 281 of the Civil Code clearly stipulates that the maintenance funds belong to the owners in common, and may be used for the maintenance, renewal and transformation of common parts such as elevators, roofs, exterior walls, and barrier-free facilities upon joint decision of the owners.
According to lawyer Wang Jiahong, Articles 21 and 22 of the Measures for the Management of Special Residential Maintenance Funds in Beijing further refine the scope of common parts of residential buildings and common facilities and equipment. The scope of repair, renewal and renovation of the common parts of the dwelling includes the damage of the roof waterproofing layer and the leakage of the top floor roomRainwater leakage on the exterior wall of the building, causing the inner surface of the exterior wall to be wettedLeakage and water accumulation in the basement;Cracks, falling off or hollowing out of the decorative layer of the external wall of the building exceed the specified value of the corresponding national standards and specifications;Cracking, rust, blistering, warping, peeling, pollution, etc. In addition, it also includes the maintenance and renewal and transformation scope of residential common facilities and equipment, mainly including the main components of the elevator that need to be repaired or replaced;The equipment parts of the secondary water supply system are worn and corroded severely;Lightning protection facilities do not meet safety requirements;The drainage (sewage) equipment in the building is faulty, the water supply and drainage pipes are leaking, the rust is serious, the sewage pump is corroded or other equipment is damaged, etc.
