The housing maintenance fund is used for large and medium-sized repair and renovation projects of the main structure, public parts and public facilities and equipment of the house after the warranty period expires. The main load-bearing structure of the house includes foundation, internal and external load-bearing walls, columns, beams, floors and roofs. Public parts refer to outdoor walls, hallways, stairwells and corridors.
Public facilities and equipment refer to water supply and drainage pipelines and equipment, distribution cables and equipment, elevators, public lighting, fire-fighting facilities, green spaces, roads, ditches, non-operating parking garages, public cultural and sports facilities and other facilities and equipment owned and used by the owner.
Fund maintenance activation:
The Measures for the Administration of Residential Special Maintenance Funds stipulates that residential special maintenance funds are applicable to load-bearing walls, roofs, staircases and elevators. However, the "Measures" stipulate that if the maintenance fund is to be used, it must follow the "double two-thirds special majority principle", that is, the owners who account for more than two-thirds of the total construction area and more than two-thirds of the total number of people discuss and pass the use plan.
According to the "Measures for the Administration of Special Maintenance Funds for Residential Buildings", the use of special maintenance funds for residential buildings will ultimately be filed and approved by the real estate administrative department or the corresponding management department.
Owners should successively apply to the relevant housing authority, housing safety appraisal department, audit bureau, specialized banks and other departments for professional appraisal of housing safety, audit the budget and final accounts of maintenance plans, hire construction units to maintain construction, and apply for funds allocated by specialized banks.
