The installation of elevators in old residential areas meets the problem of stranding: are all afraid of "wasted money"?

 Recently, 96 Hongxing Road, Luyang District, Hefei CityCourtyard, one buildingExcavators and other construction equipment were opened in front of one of the units in the 7-storey building. Under the onlookers and witness of a large number of residents in the community, the elevator foundation pit was officially excavated, which is also the first elevator installation project in the old community in the area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The construction of the project breaks ground, which means that the installation of elevators in the old community has entered a substantive stage. If all goes well, the future of the unit 2Total above layer12 households will say goodbye to the history of "climbing the stairs" home.

For the elderly who have lived in the community for decades, this is a very exciting moment for them. For the street where the community is located and the housing and construction department of Luyang District, Hefei City, this is just the beginning. Next, how many old communities in the whole district can successfully install elevators, they still have no idea.

It is more and more inconvenient for the elderly to go up and down the stairs.

No. 96 compound of Hongxing Road is the old "family home" of Anhui health system. Before the relocation, the former Anhui provincial government was only a few hundred meters away from the community.

86 this year.The old man Zhang Baojin is on Hongxing Road.No. 96 compound has lived for decades, and almost half of his life has been spent in this community. Although the children have bought new houses far away from the old city and have repeatedly offered to let the elderly live with them, Zhang Baojin is unwilling.

"Many residents in the neighborhood are old colleagues and old friends. I have deep feelings for this place and I don't want to leave." Zhang Baojin insisted on staying in this old community, which is shabby and much lower than the surrounding new areas. Only with the increase of age and the decline of physical strength, Zhang Baojin felt more and more inconvenient to go upstairs and downstairs.

Zhang Baojin often laughed at himself: "We can't actually call it upstairs every day, we can only call it climbing." Zhang Baojin, who does not want to move away from the old residential area, is very eager to install elevators in his house when.

The turning point of the matter appeared in a large-scale visit and a large-scale research symposium on the renovation of old residential areas in Xiaoyaojin Street, Luyang District. When soliciting suggestions from resident representatives on the renovation of the old community at No. 96 Hongxing Road, some resident representatives put forward the idea of installing elevators in the community.

This situation is actually quite common in Xiaoyaojin Street, which is located in the core of the old city. The street immediately fed back the collected opinions of residents' representatives to the Luyang District Government and the District Housing and Construction Bureau. The concentrated opinions even directly promoted the Luyang District Government's policy on installing elevators in existing residential buildings. This policy is even a few months earlier than Hefei's subsequent "implementation opinions.

With the support of the policy, the procedure for installing elevators is clear.

Old man Zhang Baojin and two other enthusiastic residents in the same unit jointly formed a resident representative to be responsible for some basic procedures for resident declaration. At that time, the policy of Luyang District was that all residents of the unit where the building was located must agree before implementation. In just two days, all 14 residents in the unit building where Zhang Baojin was located, including those on the first floor, signed and agreed to install elevators.

With the help of three enthusiastic resident representatives in the unit building, the subsequent elevator manufacturer selection and cost sharing issues were also successfully approved by all residents. In terms of cost-sharing, they take a factor-proportional approach. All floors take the third floor as the standard, with the coefficient increasing above the third floor and decreasing below the third floor. The first floor does not need to pay.

The reasons for not being able to add an elevator are strange.

Before raising funds, residents applied for a special shared account to pay for the related expenses. In just one day, all households remit all the money that should be shared proportionally to the designated account.

Old man Zhang Baojin was deeply moved by this: "As long as the residents are united, things will be much better."

The compound at No. 96 Hongxing Road has obviously made a good start, but this does not mean that other old communities in Luyang District can also proceed smoothly.

Cui Wei, chief of the Urban Construction Section of the Housing and Construction Bureau of Luyang District, receives phone calls almost every day asking about the installation of elevators in old residential areas. On average, within a week, at least two groups of people will come to Cui Wei's office to learn about it.

In Cui Wei's impression, Hongxing Road 96No. compound is not the first community with the intention of installing elevators, andThe reason why Compound 96 became the first old community in the area to actually start construction is indeed the result of "all conditions are mature.

 

One side of the evidence is that in another unit adjacent to the building unit under construction in compound 96, the residents' desire for the installation of elevators is also very high, and the procedure is almost to the extent that "everything is ready but the east wind", but it is because "individual reasons can not be installed for a while".

These "individual reasons" can be described as a variety of, and mainly concentrated in the first floor residents. Some residents have deep grievances because they have conflicts with the upstairs residents at ordinary times. Some feel that it will affect light and ventilation. Some also think that it will affect feng shui. There is also a psychological imbalance. I always feel that installing an elevator is cheaper upstairs and I don't get any benefits.

The ultimate focus of all these contradictions, in the view of Zhang Jincheng, director of the property office of Xiaoyaojin Street in Luyang District, is only one word: money. He felt that most people were afraid of "wronged money" and worried that they would not be able to enjoy the same feedback if they had more money.

In the process of applying for installing elevators in old residential areas, some residential areas even have such a situation: some units are willing to pay collectively to install elevators for residential residents, but considering that some houses have been sold to employees outside the unit, the opinions are not unified; Another situation is that all the residents in the residential area are employees of the unit, and the unit is also willing to invest in installing elevators, but some of the internal units do not live in the old residential area, employees who fail to enjoy the service of installing elevators do not agree.

There are many strange reasons for the failure to install elevators, and because of this, the relevant personnel feel that the elevator construction in the compound of No. 96 Hongxing Road is precious.

cross the river by feeling the stones

1 this year.In January, the Hefei municipal government issued the implementation opinions on the installation of elevators in existing residential buildings, proposing that the urban (including development zones) finance should subsidize the installation of elevators in non-single-property existing residential buildings by way of ex post subsidy, with the specific amount being given to each elevator.20Ten thousand yuan subsidy, municipal and district finance each bear50%。

Red Star Road 96The final cost of this elevator, which is under construction in the compound, is about500000 yuan. With government subsidies, residents will actually spend much less.

"Now it can be said that the policy is very clear, but the specific implementation still requires a high degree of unity of the opinions of the residents of the community who apply, and the government cannot do everything." Cui Wei said. Cui Wei, who majored in architecture, analyzed the complexity of installing elevators in old residential areas from the perspective of architecture. She found that some residents had differences in the process of installing elevators because they did not know enough about the building itself. She was particularly sorry for this.

A typical example is that there is a residential area whose application time is even much earlier than that of No.96 compound on Hongxing Road, and the basic plan has been approved. As a result, during the publicity stage of the plan, a household suddenly went back on its word, resulting in the delay in the construction of the project.

According to Cui Wei, old buildings have their own structural particularities, so the specific elevator installation plans are also different. "It is necessary to take into account the safety of the existing building structure and the safety of fire protection, but also Take into account the comfort of residents, the appearance of the city and other factors."

"Once the installation of elevators involves the reinforcement needs of the whole building, it is bound to greatly affect the overall cost of installing elevators. Residents generally do not understand this part of the cost, and at the same time they are not willing to share it." Cui Wei said.

It is understood that the drawing review procedures for the installation plan are very strict, and the drawing review agency will invite some experts to review and check the preliminary design plan from the aspects of structure, construction, equipment, etc. "On the contrary, the drawing review procedure for new buildings is simpler, especially in old houses, which may affect the original structure of the house or change the carrying capacity of the house. This kind of drawing review is the most stringent."

It is also because of this that many drawing review agencies are not even willing to undertake the drawing review business of installing elevators. They think that such drawing review projects are small and inexpensive, but the process of drawing review is particularly complicated, and it costs a lot of manpower and material resources.

According to the procedures formulated by Hefei City, even after the construction drawings for the installation of elevators have been reviewed by qualified drawing review agencies and fire protection agencies, the housing construction agencies in the jurisdiction must take the lead in organizing planning, finance, land, market supervision, fire protection, urban management and Environmental protection and other relevant departments conduct joint review.

The control is strict, and some people who want to relax their demands for cost savings will not work, and some residents may not understand. In this regard, Cui Wei can only explain one by one.

"Good things must be done well, so we can only strictly check at the source. Now if you relax the requirements, let the old neighborhood be installed with elevators carelessly, 8year,After 10 years, once all kinds of security problems and hidden problems occur frequently, how can we be worthy of the common people? "Cui Wei said.
