Legal analysis: of course, the building owner pays from the special maintenance fund account. Property fees do not include maintenance fees, but only elevator operation and maintenance fees. Elevator belongs to special equipment and must be replaced by a professional elevator maintenance company to ensure the safe use of the elevator. Wire rope is an important part of elevator equipment operation, and it should be replaced after 6 years of use, because the wire rope has been used fatigue, otherwise there will be safety hazards. China's "Regulations on Supervision of Special Equipment" stipulates that elevator equipment must be inspected annually, and the equipment inspection unit with potential safety hazards must issue a maintenance proposal, and may postpone or not issue a safety inspection certificate.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).
