Legal analysis: Generally speaking, if a building needs maintenance in an emergency, the owners' committee may apply for the use of maintenance funds according to law. For example, the elevator on the top floor is broken, the situation is urgent, it is unrealistic to climb the stairs every day, and it takes too long to wait for the owners' Committee to vote. At this time, you can directly apply for the use of maintenance funds according to law.

Legal basis: Article 281 of the Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the maintenance fund of the building and its ancillary facilities belongs to the owner. With the consent of the owner, it can be used for local maintenance, renewal and transformation of elevators, roofs, external walls and barrier-free facilities. The collection and use of maintenance funds for buildings and their ancillary facilities shall be announced regularly. In case of emergency, if the building and its ancillary facilities need to be repaired, the owners' assembly or the owners' committee may apply for the maintenance funds of the building and its ancillary facilities according to law.
