The maximum capital subsidy for each elevator is raised to 200000 yuan, and eligible houses in the urban area can apply; apply. When installing elevators, more than three quarters of the building owners participating in the voting agree to start installing elevators; The installation of elevators has adverse effects on the first and second floors, etc., and appropriate compensation should be given through negotiation... It was learned yesterday that the administrative measures for the installation of elevators in existing residential buildings in Wuxi City (hereinafter referred to as the "measures") passed the deliberation of the executive meeting of the municipal government. A "package" of measures to benefit the people appeared together, and the goods were full. The "new construction drawings" were drawn for the installation of elevators in old residential areas in the city.
The standard of financial subsidies is the most concerned issue of residents. The Measures specify that the government will grant a subsidy of up to 200000 yuan to each elevator after the completion of the installation project from the date of implementation. According to the person in charge of the property management office of the Municipal Bureau of housing and urban rural development, it currently costs about 700000 yuan to install a flat floor entry elevator, and about 450000 yuan to install a staggered floor entry elevator (which requires an extra half floor of stairs). After the subsidy amount is increased from the original maximum of 100000 yuan per set to 200000 yuan, the total cost of flat floor entry residents can be saved by nearly 30%, and the cost of staggered floor entry residents can be saved by nearly half.
From the early experience of adding elevators in old communities, the "choke point" of adding elevators is to "persuade every household to agree". "This new deal gives a clear solution." The person in charge said that the "measures" will appropriately reduce the application threshold, from the original full consent to as long as more than two-thirds of the owners of the unit participate in the vote, and more than three-quarters of the owners agree. For example, for a unit with a total height of 6 floors and 12 households, if all of them participate in the voting, 10 households can agree.
The measures also specify that the installation of elevators should minimize the adverse effects on ventilation, lighting, sunshine, noise, traffic and other adjacent residents. In case of adverse effects, the residents applying for the installation of elevators shall be given appropriate compensation when necessary. It is reported that the municipal housing and construction department is formulating and issuing relevant supporting subsidy guidance standards for adverse users to minimize the impact of installing elevators on low floor residents.
With the guidance of the government, the coordination and overall planning of departments, and the active promotion of community property, more residents can install elevators as soon as possible. The measures clearly require the territorial Government to rely on the guidance of the former, and comprehensively promote the application and review, contradiction coordination, and business guidance for the increase of elevators. The relevant departments of housing construction, planning, and market supervision and management should do a good job in the preparation of subsidy funds plans, program review, and safety supervision and management respectively. The installation of elevators involves the relocation of pipelines for power, communication, water supply, gas, cable television and other supporting facilities, and the relevant units should open up green channels to encourage the charging of fees not higher than the cost price or the exemption of fees.
Since 2018, 218 elevators have been approved to be installed in old residential areas in our city, of which 130 have been completed and put into use. The number of elevators that need to be installed in old buildings in the city is about 20000. As a practical project for the private sector of the municipal government, more than 200 elevators will be installed in our city this year. Relevant people from the municipal housing and Construction Department said that the introduction of the new deal is expected to effectively promote this work. In the next step, the housing and construction department will open more green channels for people who want to install elevators, provide more preferential policies, and enhance the sense of gain of the masses.
