How to repair the house leaking after the rainstorm? Can the maintenance fund be used?

How to apply for and use the special maintenance fund for the newly bought house after the rainstorm when it encounters water leakage?

In heavy rain, some houses, especially the residents on the top floor, may encounter water leakage. This situation can be repaired with the special maintenance funds we have paid before. How can I apply for and maintain it?

Let me introduce to you what is the special maintenance fund for residential buildings.

First of all, residential special maintenance funds refer to the funds earmarked for the maintenance, renewal and transformation of residential parts and facilities after the warranty period expires.

Residential special maintenance fund, commonly known as housing pension fund, is a one-time payment made by the owner when buying a house, which is specially used for repairing or replacing public facilities such as elevators, fire fighting and roofs. According to the property law, the money belongs to the owners of the community.

However, when we usually use maintenance funds, we have to go through two-thirds of the owners' consent and other procedures, and it takes a long time to withdraw money.

So what should I do if the house leaks and needs urgent maintenance?

To this end, the government has formulated an emergency maintenance policy. If there are six kinds of emergencies, maintenance funds can be used in emergencies. Without the owner's signature, you can apply to the local housing and maintenance fund management department for the use of three materials. The approval time is short, and the fastest is 48 hours.

Specifically, according to the following six situations stipulated in the Beijing Property Management Measures, maintenance funds can be used in an emergency:

(1) roof waterproof damage leads to leakage;

(2) Elevator failure endangers personal safety;

(3) High-rise residential water pump is damaged and water supply is interrupted;

(4) more than one-fifth of the unilateral facade of the building is in danger of falling off;

(5) The special drainage facilities are dysfunctional due to collapse, blockage and bursting, which endangers personal and property safety;

(six) the fire control system is dysfunctional, and the fire control management department requires maintenance, renewal and transformation of fire control facilities and equipment.

In case of the above six situations, the owner does not know to obtain the consent of two-thirds owners when using emergency maintenance, but should inform the owner in advance. Inform the owners of the special maintenance funds for emergency maintenance in a prominent position of the owners' committee in the property management area; If there is no owners' committee, the realty service enterprise shall inform it.

If the owners question the apportionment, the owners' committee or the realty service enterprise shall give a reply.

Step 1: Apply

If the maintenance funds are not transferred to the special account of the owners' congress, the realty service enterprise shall apply.

Maintenance funds have been transferred to the special account of the owners' congress, which shall be applied by the owners' committee; If the owners' committee is unwilling to apply, and the term of office of the owners' committee expires, the general election exists in name only, or the owners' committee is slow to perform its duties, the realty service enterprise shall apply.

If the realty service enterprise or the owners' committee fails to apply for maintenance in accordance with the provisions, the relevant property owner (whether it can be changed to the owner) shall apply for maintenance.

So who is the application for emergency maintenance submitted to?

In accordance with the principle of territorial management, apply to the territorial district and county construction Committee (Housing Authority).

Step 2: Submit the materials

(1) Completed Application Form for Emergency Maintenance of Residential Special Maintenance Funds;

(2) If the selected construction unit is not in the list of emergency maintenance construction units in this Municipality, a copy of business license and qualification certificate shall be submitted;

(3) emergency maintenance project budget;

(4) List of extraction or disbursement of residential special maintenance funds.

Step 3: Wait for approval.

The time limit for emergency maintenance approval includes two stages:

First, if the materials accepted by the District and County Construction Committee (Housing Authority) meet the requirements, a decision shall be made within 2 working days; If the situation is particularly urgent, a decision of consent shall be made on the spot. If there are problems with the application materials, guide the applicant to make corrections.

Second, the district/county management department of the municipal housing fund management center and the opening bank of the owners' congress shall handle the payment within 2 working days from the date of receiving the approval from the district/county construction Committee or the Housing Authority; In case of emergency, payment should be made within 24 hours (working days).

Step 4: Invite enterprises to construct.

In case of emergency maintenance, the owners' committee, the realty service enterprise, the public housing selling unit, the district/county project construction committee or the Housing Authority may select the construction unit from the list of emergency maintenance construction units (attached) through bidding and competitive negotiation, or select the construction unit from the list of construction units by drawing lots.

Relevant units can also choose construction enterprises outside the list of emergency maintenance construction units in this Municipality. If you choose this kind of enterprise, you need to provide a copy of its business license and qualification certificate when applying for emergency maintenance funds.

Step 5: Project acceptance.

After the completion of the emergency maintenance project, the construction enterprise shall report to the owners' committee, the property service enterprise or the public housing sale unit.

Owners' committee (if the owners' meeting is not established, the community neighborhood committee may convene the owners' representatives), property service enterprises or public housing sales units to organize relevant units to accept the project, issue a project acceptance report, and make an opinion on whether it is qualified within 5 working days; Unqualified, construction enterprises should unconditionally rectify the project.

Encourage the employment of engineering supervision or cost consulting institutions to supervise the use of special maintenance funds. The expenses incurred by the owners' committee or the realty service enterprise in hiring supervision or cost consulting institutions can be charged in the special maintenance funds.

Note 1: allocation of emergency maintenance expenses

The cost of emergency maintenance with special maintenance funds shall be shared by the owners according to the proportion of their respective property construction areas.

The maintenance funds that should be paid for the housing reform purchased by individuals shall be shared by the special maintenance funds deposited by the selling unit. If the special maintenance fund of the selling unit is insufficient, the difference will be paid from the special maintenance fund deposited by the individual. (it can be concise. Use the part paid by the selling unit first, and then use the part paid by the individual when it is insufficient)

Note 2: Disposal of Unpaid Maintenance Fund

If the owners involved in emergency maintenance projects fail to pay maintenance funds, they shall immediately pay special maintenance funds to the municipal housing fund management center or pay the maintenance expenses that should be shared to the property service enterprises.

For those who refuse to pay the special maintenance funds and share the corresponding maintenance costs, the owners' committee or the realty service enterprise will report the relevant information in writing to the district and county construction committee (Housing Authority). When the relevant owners go through the formalities of housing property registration, transfer and inheritance, the district and county construction committee (Housing Authority) will inform them to pay the special maintenance funds and pay back the fees in advance.

Note 3: Construction warranty period.

Special reminder, like other commodities, housing construction also has a warranty period. If there is a problem during the warranty period, the developer is responsible and does not need our owner to pay.

For example, the warranty period of the foundation and the main structure is the design service life of the building, and the residence is 70 years; The warranty period of waterproof and thermal insulation works is not less than 5 years; The elevator project is not less than 3 years; The minimum warranty for leakage prevention of residential exterior windows is 5 years.
