Who is responsible for the maintenance of sewage pipes in residential areas?

Legal analysis: according to the law, who is responsible for the maintenance of the broken sewer pipe in the building depends on the situation. 1. If the sewer of the building is naturally damaged, such as aging after a long time, then the property will be responsible for repairing the sewer. 2. If the damage of the building sewer is caused by man-made, the damaged person will bear the maintenance responsibility.

Legal basis: Article 55 of the Property Management Regulations stipulates that when there are potential safety hazards in the property, which endanger the public interests and the legitimate rights and interests of others, the responsible person shall timely repair and maintain it, and the relevant owners shall cooperate. If the responsible person fails to perform the maintenance obligation, it can be maintained by the property service enterprise with the consent of the owners' meeting, and the expenses shall be borne by the responsible person.
