Responsibility for leakage of indoor fire sprinklers in apartments

Legal analysis: Fire sprinklers belong to ancillary facilities of buildings and should be managed and maintained by developers. If the developer has handed over the residential area to the property company for management, the property company should be responsible for maintenance.

Legal basis: Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in the Trial of Property Service Disputes Article 3 The property service enterprise fails to perform or fails to fully perform the maintenance, conservation, management and repair obligations agreed in the property service contract or determined by laws, regulations and relevant industry norms.

The people's court shall support the owners' request that the realty service enterprise bear the liabilities for breach of contract such as continuing to perform, taking remedial measures or compensating for losses. Therefore, after the owner bears the water fee, he can recover from the property company according to the property service contract.
