(CNA, Reporter Liu Chien-pang, Taipei, 23rd) Taipei City has many old buildings. To encourage buildings with 6 floors or more to establish management committees, the Building Administration Office is providing subsidies for the maintenance and repair of public facilities such as shared staircases. The application process is divided into two phases. Buildings establishing a management committee for the first time can receive up to 1.38 million NTD. If funds remain, subsidies will be extended to those that already have established committees.
The Taipei City Building Administration Office stated in a press release today that, to enhance the effectiveness of maintenance and management of shared parts in apartment buildings and to improve community living safety and quality, it has formulated the "2026 Apartment Building Shared Parts Maintenance and Repair Expense Subsidy Execution Plan."
The Building Administration Office indicated that this plan uses substantial financial subsidies to encourage buildings that received their use permits before 2003 (Year 92 of the Republic) to establish management committees. The funds can be used for the maintenance and repair of public corridors, drainage ditches, and facilities/equipment related to public safety.
The press release noted that the application for the subsidy plan is divided into two phases. The first phase targets apartment buildings of 6 floors or more that received use permits before the end of 2003 and must be establishing their management committee for the first time and completing the filing. The application period is from June 1 to June 30 this year.
The Building Administration Office stated that the second phase will open for applications if there is a remaining balance after the first phase's funds are disbursed. The period will be from September 1 to September 30 this year, expanding the target to include buildings that received permits before the end of 2003 and have already completed their management committee filing.
Regarding the subsidy amounts, the Building Administration Office stated that for apartment buildings establishing a management committee for the first time, the maximum subsidy per case is 1.38 million NTD. If it is not the first time establishing a committee, the subsidy cap is 800,000 NTD. The same apartment building is limited to applying for the subsidy only once every two years.
The Building Administration Office noted that for specific repair items, the subsidy ratios also vary. For example, fire fighting equipment and emergency power systems can be subsidized up to 65% to 80%, while cleaning of water towers and reservoirs is capped at a maximum of 10,000 NTD per unit.
The Building Administration Office concluded that the total budget for the subsidy this year is 9 million NTD. With limited spots available, they urge eligible management committees and persons in charge to apply actively to jointly optimize the community's living environment. (Editor: Li Hsi-chang) 1150423
