Who will repair the leaking sewer pipe on the balcony?

Legal analysis: The public sewer of balcony is a public facility. If it is still under warranty, the developer should be responsible for the maintenance. Developers should also compensate the owners for the losses caused by their homes. If the warranty period is exceeded, the facilities belonging to the citizens should be repaired by the property management company, and the corresponding losses can also be compensated by the property management company.

Property companies can use special maintenance funds, which in itself belongs to all owners. Once the warranty period of some public facilities expires, all maintenance costs or replacement costs can be used for public parts including facilities and equipment.
