The Nangang Machinery Factory social housing has a total of 1,442 households, making it the largest social housing in the northern city. Unexpectedly, residents of the social housing frequently complain about problems such as elevator malfunctions. Councilor Lee Ming-hsien pointed out in a question today that problems with elevators in social housing in Nangang Machinery Factory have been reported frequently, and even set a record of 93 repairs in less than half a year. He asked the city government to deal with it prudently. Director of Metropolis Development Jian Sefang promised to improve all problems by the end of June.
Yesterday (3rd), Councilors He Menghua, Li Mingxian, Chen Youcheng, Que Meisha and others held a coordination meeting at the Nangang Machinery Factory Social House to discuss the horrific situation of frequent elevator malfunctions, damage, and even "elevator sudden falls" complained by residents.
In the face of frequent elevator failures, manager Tang of Chongyou Industrial Co., Ltd. said that the reason for the relatively high frequency of failures is that "as the usage of elevators increases, the relative failure rate will also increase." For example, moving will cause abnormal phenomena. The company's current practice is to dispatch on-site personnel to the scene from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. When new situations arise, they can make immediate troubleshooting. A comprehensive investigation is also being conducted this week, and they will continue to improve and accept the supervision of the city government.
Unexpectedly, this statement aroused the anger of the residents, who all criticized the problem of the elevator. How could they deceive the residents by citing "increased elevator usage". Some residents bombarded me. Department stores are used more, so why aren't they broken? Other residents also mentioned that Chongyou Industrial is a 101 manufacturer and has maintained a 90% maintenance rate for many years, but why is the social housing maintained like this? Is it because 101 is a well-known landmark but the social house is not, or do you think that the social house can ignore people's lives? Another resident also criticized that the occupancy rate is only 50% now. What will happen when it is full? What exactly did your industry do? You don’t have to keep talking in general terms.
Li Mingxian pointed out that according to statistics, since the social housing was opened in December last year, in just half a year of moving in, there have been as many as 2,640 repair cases, of which 1,929 have been completed and 335 are still to be repaired. It has become a bottomless pit of repairs. Among many public facilities problems, the one that worries residents the most is elevator safety. The number of elevator repair reports has reached an astonishing record of 93 times. In the face of residents' anger, the elevator manufacturer actually gave an explanation of "because the frequency of use is too high." "Don't elevators in department stores be used more frequently? This reason is too exaggerated and irresponsible!"
After hearing this, Jiang Wanan said that the reason cannot be entirely attributed to too frequent use, because there were 93 reports for repairs in a short period of time, and he would ask the residential center to find out.
Li Mingxian believes that in the past, a terrifying "furious god" elevator crash occurred in Nangang Dongmingshe Residence, which seriously endangered the lives of residents. He strongly demanded that the Municipal Housing Center and the Urban Development Bureau must strictly supervise manufacturers to find out the real reasons for frequent elevator failures. They must not make fun of the safety of citizens' lives and property, and must make improvements immediately.
Jian Sefang, director of the Dufa Bureau, said that in response to the problem of frequent breakdowns and malfunctions, the Dufa Bureau has formed a task force to find manufacturers and supervisors, and entrusted a third-party impartial unit to inspect the problems. All problems will be improved by the end of June.
