"The equipment room of the community was occupied and changed to a private club of the property company. The public elevator of the community was also occupied and could only go directly to the club." Recently, the owner of Qingdao Galaxy Jinxing Community reported to The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) that the property services in his community were privately handed over to another company by the original property company. He entered the community without the permission of owners' committee and occupied the public area of the community. The owner complained that he failed.
In response to this, the staff of Qingdao Zhongxinhe Property Management Co., Ltd., a property company involved, said that there are many conflicts with the property owner and the property, and some facts are inaccurate. "There is no private club. We just decorate it into an office space. The elevator goes directly to the 30th floor because the buttons are broken, but the owner does not pay the management fee, so we cannot repair it." The staff did not respond to whether the transfer and settlement of the property was compliant.
The relevant person in charge of Jimo Road Street Office, who is responsible for mediating the matter, said that the issue in the community has been held many meetings to coordinate, but none of them have been resolved, and will continue to coordinate and deal with it. It is also recommended that the owners' committee and the property management team resolve it through legal means.
Owners said that the elevator button was destroyed by the property and occupied by the public area on the top floor by the property for a long time
The Galaxy Jinxing Community involved is a residential community located on Jimo Road, North District, Qingdao. There is only one building in the community. According to Mr. Chen, the owner representative of the owners of the community owners' committee, there are 285 households in the community. The first to eighth floors of the community are commercial housing, and the eighth to twenty-ninth floors are residential commercial housing. It was sold in 2006. The negative first, second and thirty to thirty-two floors are as supporting facilities for the residential buildings and belong to public housing.
"Originally, the property in our community was Galaxy Property Co., Ltd., but in 2020, the property privately rented out the equipment rooms on the 30th, 31th and 32th floors of the community to the operator, and was converted into a French restaurant that was open to the public. The restaurant closed after the owner reported fire safety issues, and the property company also withdrew from the community." Mr. Chen said that after the original property withdrawal, he privately signed an agreement with Qingdao Zhongxinhe Property Company, and then Zhongxinhe Property Company settled in the community.
Mr. Chen told The Paper that the entry of Zhongxinhe Property Company was not only not subject to the vote and consent of the community owners' meeting, but also did not sign a service contract with the owners' committee, and did not file a record with the property manager department.
"After they settled in, not only did many facilities in the community not be maintained in time, but they also occupied public areas of the community even more. "Mr. Chen said that after Zhongxinhe Property Company settled in, the equipment rooms on the 30th and 31st floors of the community were converted into a private club for entertainment and use by the property company, and the 32nd floor was converted into a kitchen. In addition, the safety passage on the 30th floor was also closed. "If a fire occurs, there will be no place for everyone to run."
Mr. Chen said that after being transformed into a private club, the property also occupied a public elevator. By destroying the buttons, the elevator could not stay on other floors and could only reach the 30th floor.
In this regard, Mr. Chen provided a comparison of pictures before and after the renovation of the 30th to 32nd floors of the community. It can be seen that the public room that originally placed elevators, pipes and other equipment in the community was closed and renovated and was brightly lit and well-decorated, and calligraphy and paintings were hung on the walls. Since the buttons on other floors were removed, the elevator could only go directly from the negative floor to the thirty floor, and the middle floor could not be used.
According to the construction project permit of Galaxy Venus Community presented by Mr. Chen, it clearly states that the nature of the house on the thirty to thirty-two floors on the ground is "equipment room, public room".
The security passage on the thirtyth floor is closed
"Property" responds: Used as an office space
In response to this, on June 19, a reporter from The Paper called Qingdao Zhongxinhe Property Company. The company staff explained that the owners also had many property conflicts, and some facts were inaccurate. "There is no private club on the thirty-two floors. This is a house built by the previous property. We are just decorating it into an office space. The elevator buttons are indeed broken, but this is because the owner does not pay the property management fee and we cannot repair it."
Is the entry of the property company approved by the owners' meeting? Can public rooms, equipment rooms, etc. be converted into offices? The property staff said it was inconvenient to answer and immediately hung up the phone.
Mr. Chen said that the owners did not pay the property management fee because the property company's entry was not approved by the owners' meeting and had not filed with the property management department. "Does property companies that settle in compliance have the qualifications for charging?"
Then, Mr. Chen provided the Paper with a "State Statement on the Current Situation of the Community" issued by the Jimo District Street Office of Qingdao North District, which stated: "Zhongxinhe Property Management Co., Ltd. has entered Galaxy Jinxing Community so far but has not passed the owners' meeting vote. It has been learned that Zhongxinhe Property Management Co., Ltd. has not reached the district property management department. Door registration. On the morning of February 28, 2022, the owners' committee of Galaxy Venus Community handled the property management handover procedures and related matters with Qingdao Galaxy Venus Property Co., Ltd. and Qingdao Zhongxinhe Property Management Co., Ltd. in the first floor hall of Galaxy Venus Community. The transfer was not smoothly due to no agreement between them. "
Pengpai News reporter learned that in accordance with the relevant provisions of the " Property Management Regulations " and the " Civil Code ", the selection and dismissal of property service enterprises shall be approved by the owners whose exclusive part accounts for more than half of the total area of the building and more than half of the total number of people. After the selection and appointment, the owners' committee shall enter into a written property service contract with the property service enterprises selected by the owners' meeting .
. For the renovated equipment rooms and public buildings on the thirty-two floors, the Property Management Regulations also clearly state that the reconstruction and reconstruction of buildings and their ancillary facilities shall be approved by the owners whose exclusive part accounts for more than 2/3 of the total area of the building and more than 2/3 of the total number of people. If the property service enterprise really needs to change the purpose of public buildings and shared facilities, it shall submit the owners' meeting to discuss and decide and agree, and the owners shall go through the relevant procedures in accordance with the law.
In response to the above situation, on June 19, a reporter from The Paper called the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of Qingdao Shibei District. Staff of the bureau's office said that the dispute in the community had been handed over to the street office for coordination and handling.
On the same day, the relevant person in charge of Jimo Road Street Office of Qingdao Bei District responded to The Paper that the street office had previously held property contact meetings with the District People's Court, District Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau , District Urban Management Bureau and other departments, but none of them solved the problem of the community. "There are many problems in this community, and the situation is relatively complicated and it is difficult to make a judgment. We will coordinate and deal with it again. It is also recommended that the property management committee and property management can solve it through legal means."
