It is no longer difficult for low-rise residents to give their opinions on how to install elevators in old communities.

This newspaper's report on the renovation of old residential areas has attracted readers' attention, especially on the installation of elevators-

How to install the elevator is no longer difficult (letter survey)

At present, many places are carrying out the renovation of old residential areas, which is a popular project. However, some projects have encountered many problems in concrete implementation. Recently, after the publication of "Why the water supply was transformed into a" semi-finished product "project", many readers and netizens shouted injustice, reflecting various problems encountered in the process of transforming old residential areas. Among them, the specific issues of installing elevators in old communities are a topic of concern to many readers.

To this end, the reporter went to Anhui, Qinghai, Yunnan and other places to investigate and interviewed some owners, industry committees, property companies, residential decoration and construction enterprises and responsible comrades of sub-district offices to listen to their opinions.

There are many old people in the old community, so it is urgent to install elevators.

Some residential areas built in the 1980s and 1990s are mostly six or seven-story old buildings without elevators. The community is getting older and the residents are getting older. Nowadays, young people in their thirties and forties, looking at their sixties and seventies, going upstairs has become a big problem for the elderly. "My father is 70 years old now, and it is getting harder and harder to climb the stairs." Mr. Lei, a citizen of Kunming, said that he was most worried about the elderly going downstairs. "If you step on the air, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"It takes 10 minutes for father to come down from the 6th floor; Sometimes I have to rest twice when I send rice noodles to my father. " Mr. Lei said that he also advised his father to simply move out, but his father missed the old neighborhood and refused to move.

The reporter's investigation found that the proportion of the elderly in the old community was significantly higher than that in the new community, and it became a "pain point" for the high-rise residents in the old community to go up and down the stairs. The reporter visited an old residential area. Almost every household in more than 60 households has an elderly person over 60 years old. Many elderly people have to go out as little as possible in order to climb fewer stairs.

Yang Shihai, 7 1 year-old, is from Hefei, Anhui. He lives in Tianyi Jiayuan Community, and most of them are old people. Only in their unit, 70% of the residents are over 60 years old, and most owners have a strong desire to install elevators. In March of 20 16, he learned that Shushan District of Hefei was doing a pilot project of installing elevators in old residential areas, and he couldn't wait to take action with the owners of the same unit to discuss how to share the renovation costs, choose the elevator brand and design the renovation plan ... Now, the residents of Unit 2, Building 5 of Tianyi Jiayuan Residential Area have used elevators for 9 months, which greatly facilitates the lives of residents. "Unexpectedly, the old house that has lived for so many years is now equipped with an elevator, which is great!" Lao Yang said with a smile.

"The aging society is intensifying, and it is necessary and meaningful to install elevators in old communities." The staff of Wulidun Sub-district Office in Hefei, Anhui Province said that they have been doing propaganda and mobilization work for installing elevators. On May 9 this year, four street workers and two community comrades walked into the community to introduce the elevator installation process and the policy of benefiting the people to residents in the form of exhibition boards and leaflets.

Some low-rise residents have opinions and are worried that lighting and ventilation will be affected.

However, it is not easy to install the elevator. According to the relevant provisions of the Property Law, the installation of elevators in old buildings should be approved by the owners of this unit or the exclusive part of this building, which accounts for more than 2/3 of the total construction area and 2/3 of the total number of households, before the construction can be carried out in accordance with relevant regulations or plans. The reporter's investigation found that the installation of elevators in some communities could not proceed smoothly, mainly because it was difficult to unify opinions.

"Thankless, no one is willing to take the lead, everyone is watching. The internal opinions of the owners are not unified, and some verbally agree, but after signing the agreement and providing the real estate license, they will go back on their words. This is very common. " Ms. Kong, who is in charge of an elevator company in Yunnan, said that although many owners of old residential areas have a high demand for installing elevators, due to various reasons, there are few smooth renovations and installations.

In general, high-rise residents have a positive attitude towards installing elevators, but low-rise residents often have big opinions. "The house in the old community is not well lit, and the lower floors, especially the first floor, are dark. What if installing an elevator will affect lighting and ventilation? Some construction units have unscientific design plans and do not seek our opinions, which is easy to harm our interests. " A first-floor owner sincerely said that during rush hours, many residents wait for the elevator outside the window, and the privacy of their homes will also be affected. There are also many owners who are worried that the noise generated by elevator operation will affect the rest of patients or the elderly at home.

"In fact, there are other interests. Buildings without elevators in old communities are generally low-rise buildings with high prices and high-rise buildings with low prices. With the elevator, the situation is different. " Ms. Kong said that this is also the reason why many low-rise owners resist.

Faced with such requirements, high-rise residents think that "low-rise residents can install elevators without paying elevator fees, which will improve the quality of life of the whole community, not just us." Why can't we understand our difficulties? "

The project of installing elevator is complicated and needs a lot of manpower and financial resources.

Elevator installation project itself is a complex project, involving housing construction, urban management, planning, fire protection and other departments. If the pipeline needs to be relocated, it will also involve electricity, tap water, natural gas supply and other units. After the project is approved, it needs to be approved by relevant departments one by one. There are many retired people in Mr. Lei's community. He can still run in his 60 s and is very active in installing elevators. However, some owners are too old to do so. "The preliminary approval is basically the owner's running, and the elevator company is more just cooperating. It takes half a year to run the approval. "

In some old residential areas, due to the problems of long building age, narrow stairs, aging wires and no seismic columns, installing elevators will squeeze the space of fire exits and stairs. "We really can't install communities with these problems. First of all, we can't provide a feasible plan. Second, government planning and housing construction departments can't approve it. " Ms. Kong told reporters.

For the installation of elevators, some property companies are not very enthusiastic, fearing that they will not receive money for future maintenance. "At present, the cost of property management in most old communities is low, and the daily maintenance costs are barely maintained. The economic situation of residents in some communities is uneven, and the collection rate of property fees is not high, so they may not be able to pay the elevator operation and maintenance fees in one year. What if the elevator is broken? "

Some construction units have unscientific plans, and even destroyed the seismic beams when installing elevators; Some owners have different opinions, lack of communication, and the neighborhood relationship has become stiff ... Many owners have such concerns or have encountered similar bad things.

Ms. Kong said that the market for installing elevators in old communities is very broad, but it needs government support. Supporting subsidies from policies and funds is more conducive to overall promotion. "At present, we are all installing elevators in twos and threes, lacking overall planning and unified deployment. If it can be installed in batches, not only the construction time, quality and cost are guaranteed, but also the overall planning of the community is guaranteed. There will be no situation in which there is no elevator in a building and sometimes it even affects each other. "

The person in charge of a street said that the governance of old communities is a difficult problem in community governance, and the masses have strongly reflected it. Taking the lead through streets and communities helps to coordinate the participation of owners. "However, without matching funds, it is still very difficult to promote the installation of elevators at the grassroots level as a whole. After all, it is inevitable to encounter difficult households, and it is not easy to spend tens of thousands of yuan at one time. "

Relevant departments should make concerted efforts, and industry committees should strengthen communication with owners.

Now that the economic conditions are good, people are increasingly pursuing the quality of life, and there will be differentiated needs. If you have problems, communicate actively and frankly, and your heart will naturally untie. Lao Yang Manshihai said that in order to install the elevator, the owner of Unit 2 of Building No.5 in his residential area built a WeChat group and discussed the sharing plan in detail. The higher the floor, the more expenses you bear. It is decided that among the owners on the sixth floor 12 of the whole unit, the owners on the first floor do not contribute, and the proportions of the owners on the second floor to the sixth floor are 3%, 5%, 10%, 14% and 18% respectively.

12 owners also find it difficult to agree. "There are problems in determining elevator brands and elevator companies." Yang Shihai told reporters that some car owners want international brands and feel safer, while others think that domestic brands are more cost-effective. Lao Yang has contacted more than 10 companies, not to mention the elevator brands recommended by them. "Later, the person in charge of the elevator company led us to inspect a domestic elevator brand. This elevator is very fast, noiseless and very safe. I sent the research report to the group and everyone expressed satisfaction. "

Smooth communication channels for owners, industry committees should also play a greater role. Liu Wusheng, director of the Industry Committee of Xining Mobile Company in Qinghai Province, believes that "the Industry Committee should be a' lubricant', considering for the owners, listening to the opinions of all parties, and guiding the owners to speak out their doubts and difficulties and resolve them through consultation."

The family home of Xining Mobile Company has been built for more than 20 years, and most of them live in the elderly. Last year, the community was designated as a pilot project to install elevators in old buildings in Xining. Now, rows of neat glass elevators are clean and bright, which greatly facilitates the lives of residents. According to reports, the cost of each elevator is 400,000 yuan, and the government subsidy is 6.5438+0.5 million yuan. Other expenses are jointly funded by the owner according to a certain proportion, and the cost of each floor is increased by 20%, and the average household pays more than 20,000 yuan.

Talking about the experience, Liu Wusheng said with a smile: "For the opinions of the owners, the industry Committee adopts the method of meeting and discussing general issues and handling individual issues in a special way, and tries to take into account the reasonable demands of all parties." For example, it was originally planned to build the elevator on the sunny side, so that you can take the elevator as soon as you go out, but the owners generally reflected that it blocked the sunshine, so the industry Committee met and decided to rebuild the elevator on the shady side; The elevator was originally designed as an all-glass elevator, which is beautiful and generous. Considering that there are many elderly people in their family, it may cause the elderly living in high-rise buildings to be afraid of heights, so they made the car closed. * * * Know how to achieve it step by step.

The relevant person in charge of the Housing Security and Real Estate Bureau of Xining City said, "Installing elevators is a livelihood project that meets the needs of the development of an aging society. It seems to be a small project, but it involves power expansion, pipeline transformation, green space transformation and other matters, and all departments need to cooperate with each other. Qi Xin will work together to do a good job. "
