Can people live in the garage? Is there any relevant law?

According to Article 49 of the Property Management Regulations, public buildings and facilities built according to the plan in the property management area shall not be changed, and garages are prohibited from being used for residence, production and operation.

The owner used the garage originally used for parking vehicles without authorization, which changed the use of the garage. In addition, if the garage is privately connected with water, electricity and sewage pipes when residents live, the operation is not standardized and it is easy to cause safety hazards.

Because of the differences between tenants and other owners in working hours and living habits, it is also prone to random discharge of pollutants, noise disturbing people and even public security incidents. Not only that, the behavior of renting tenants occupying the garage also occupies the supporting facilities in the community.

Hidden dangers of garage residents

1. When most garages were initially designed and built, the circuit line diameter was small and the carrying capacity of the circuit was relatively low. Some of them can only be used for general lighting. If you use high-power appliances such as air conditioners, heaters and induction cookers, long-term use will accelerate the aging of the lines and easily lead to fires. There are also some households who modify the circuit without authorization and connect it privately, which is more likely to cause a fire.

2. Natural gas pipelines are generally not connected to the garage. In order to solve the problem of cooking, gas tanks, stoves, etc. It is often put in the garage, which increases the hidden danger of fire safety. Because most garages are closed, carbon monoxide poisoning may also occur if coal is improperly used for heating in winter.

3. Many garages are equipped with shutter doors, and the switching mode is mostly electric or manual, which is slow. Once the power is cut off or deformed, it will increase the difficulty of opening. Many garages have only one entrance and exit. Once a fire breaks out, toxic smoke will quickly spread to the whole garage, making it difficult to escape.

4. When there is a fire in the underground garage, the visibility drops sharply due to the thick smoke, which makes it difficult for fire rescue personnel to quickly determine the fire point and fire scale. If there is a lot of smoke and heat in front of the garage, it will also delay the rescue operation.
