The renovation and installation of elevators in the old community is a good thing for the benefit of the people, why has it repeatedly led to the "close neighbors" who are closer than distant relatives to turn their faces?
The problem of installing elevators in old residential areas
There will be eight problems in the installation of elevators in old communities, the first point: legal issues, first of all, the protection of the rights and interests of the owners and the principle of equality and voluntariness.
Article 293 of the Civil Code stipulates: "The construction of buildings shall not violate the relevant national engineering construction standards, and shall not obstruct the ventilation, lighting and sunshine of adjacent buildings." ”
This is the protection of the existing ventilation, lighting and sunshine rights enjoyed by the owner by the law, and if the installation of the elevator violates this provision and the adjacent owner clearly disagrees, it cannot be installed.
The second point: the problem of property rights, because the installation of elevators is installed by the owners personally, after the owners say this idea, the whole building raises funds to get money, but everyone takes the money, who does the property right of the elevator belong to?
The property rights belong to the individual, everyone does not do it, and it belongs to the collective owner, who is responsible if something happens?
The third point: safety issues, when installing elevators, will not affect the safety of the entire building due to all factors such as construction design, quality, and process.
After the elevator is installed, there is no problem with the building, and the elevator has various safety failures and hidden dangers in operation, who will bear it? Is it required by the construction party? Or is it the owner who proposes to install the elevator to bear? Or the collective owner bears?
The fourth point: the problem of demolition and installation, this problem is often ignored by the owners of the installation of elevators, because most people think that the construction procedures, technical specifications, etc. are approved by the competent government departments for the record, and there will be no demolition problems.
In fact, there are two aspects to the demolition problem, one is that the installation of elevators may cause dangerous houses, which is a risk that can never be ruled out. The installation of elevators will inevitably affect the structure, load-bearing and balance of the original house, if the elevator is required to be removed in order to ensure the safety of the owner in the later stage. Who should bear the consequences, and who will stand up for the consequences?
The fifth point: the sale of the house is the right of the owner, and the problem of installing the elevator is the problem of the old owner and the former owner, the new owner does not have to perform the agreement signed by the previous owner to install the elevator, who will negotiate with the new owner when the elevator has a problem?
The sixth point: elevator maintenance problems, after the completion of the elevator installation, is the need for daily maintenance, or the elevator aging will also threaten the life safety of the elevator people, who will pay for this maintenance cost?
The seventh point: the issue of cost sharing, as mentioned above, the elevator needs to be maintained, so the owner decides to share the cost, but who will charge the maintenance fee, whether to take this money to maintain the elevator?
Point 8: On the issue of liability for breach of contract, can the owner, the person in charge and the coordinator always perform the work of management and coordination, and what should I do when the elevator cannot run?
When the elevator was first installed, everyone was very happy to sit in the elevator, and after a certain stage of the owner's house found that the wall was cracked, asked for compensation, and refused to admit the signing of the agreement, who is responsible for this matter?
The above eight things are actually two aspects, the first is the management of the installation of elevators, the second legal issues and contract issues, if you want to install elevators in the old community, these problems must be considered.
The cost of installing elevators in old residential areas
If the above problems are solved, it is necessary to consider the cost of the elevator, how much does it cost to install an elevator? Some people will say that if there is no money, it will be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and how much can a family get.
Don't believe this sentence, according to the details of the cost of installing an elevator in an eighth-floor community, the cost of installing an elevator is actually a lot. The architectural design cost is 10,000 yuan, the building renovation cost is 15,600 yuan, and the manual excavation of the foundation and pouring of concrete totals 39,280 yuan.
The steel structure building is 88,040 yuan, the construction and decoration project is 74,768 yuan, the other expenses are 29,100 yuan, and the elevator power supply cost is 16,000 yuan.
The installation of elevators needs to destroy the wall, but can not be destroyed casually, the construction personnel should look at the site to give the design to ensure the safety of your wall, in the installation of the ground foundation, pouring cement, installing steel frame, after the installation of the wall and other problems.
This is the construction of the money, the elevator installation has not been calculated, first of all, the elevator money of 1,740,000 yuan includes elevator equipment installation and quality inspection; high-definition camera, call line, elevator IC card system, elevator maintenance fund, electronic control door intercom system, labor costs and transportation costs totaling 208,880 yuan, a total of 467,668 yuan.
How much does it cost to install an elevator? Is it affordable for the average family?
Each additional elevator needs to go through elevator drawing design + formal construction + steel structure engineering + domestic first-line brand elevator equipment engineering + exterior decoration + inspection + pipeline displacement cost + elevator shaft cost, and the overall cost is estimated to be about 460,000 yuan according to normal conditions.
Moreover, because of the limitations of construction technology in the early years, the installation of elevators in the old community mostly involves problems such as drainage, natural gas, septic tanks, and the distance between the building and the elevator, each of which will increase the cost of the project.
Now some large cities have given subsidies for the installation of elevators, such as the total cost of installing elevators according to government subsidies is 470,000 yuan.
Material declaration: personnel cost of about 10,000 yuan, design cost of about 25,000 yuan, pipeline line transformation: about 20,000 yuan, elevator shaft reinforcement installation: about 10 tons, 80,000 yuan, glass curtain wall: 130 square meters, about 60,000 yuan, elevator plus 10 years of maintenance: 180,000 + 40,000 yuan, later decoration: 15,000 yuan, elevator corridor 20,000 yuan (six-storey three-station type), others: 20,000 yuan.
It should be noted that the above costs do not include local subsidies, because local policies are different, and the data is provided just to let everyone see how much it costs to install an elevator.
How to solve the problem of installing elevators in old communities
There is a case of successful installation of elevators in Beijing, Wang Shengyou lives in the West Fourth Ring Road in Beijing, his community has been 30 years, the whole community is no elevator on the sixth floor, the community is still mainly occupied by the elderly, so the residents of the community hope to install elevators.
But one of them, who lived on the third floor, bought a new house because their children went to school, and "voted down" when voting to install an elevator.
"One vote veto" is indeed one of the difficulties encountered in the installation of elevators. This power comes from the "Beijing 2016 Implementation Plan for the Pilot Work of Adding Elevators to Existing Multi-storey Residences".
It stipulates that the consent of "two-thirds" of the residents shall be obtained for the installation of elevators, and it is also required to "obtain the consent of the owners of the unit who are directly affected by lighting, ventilation and noise after the installation of elevators".
The requirement for the installation of the elevator must be a consent form signed by 100% of the residents. Residents are also very helpless about this, not only the residents of the third floor of this building, but also many residents who are not in contact here, resulting in the problem of installing elevators has not been solved.
In order to install the elevator, Wang Shengyou discussed with the entire residents and the community, as long as the owner of the third floor agreed, he was not allowed to pay, and the other residents shared it equally, which was unanimously agreed by everyone.
This was successfully completed with the help of the community, and the residents on the third floor agreed to install an elevator and adopt a "vertical bus" model, and no elevator installation fees were charged to residents in the early stage.
After the elevator is installed and put into use, residents will be charged for each ride like a bus card. The cost of each elevator ride is only a few dimes, and this form is recognized by many residents.
Although Beijing has a successful case, but the installation of elevators in old communities is still a "big and difficult" problem, people who want to be safe do not want to pay for themselves, people who do not want to be safe have strange reasons, and the installation of elevators requires the government to take the initiative to come forward and talk to the people.
This matter can solve a big problem, it is a policy to benefit the people, and now it has evolved into a fuse for quarrels between neighbors, so on the issue of installing elevators, residents and the government need to communicate in time to resolve the misunderstanding and install the elevator smoothly.
