Can the schedule for exterior wall renovation be more reasonable?, Fengxian community has had its air conditioning unit dismantled, with frequent high temperature warnings for the air conditioning unit | exterior wall | community

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but the dismantled air conditioning unit has not been installed back. When will this project end?" At the end of June, the Shanghai 12345 Citizen Service Hotline received many requests for help from residents of the South Suburb First Class Community.

Originally, in order to solve the safety hazards of hollowing and peeling of the exterior walls of the community, the first grade community in the southern suburbs of Fengxian District carried out exterior wall repair projects after multiple negotiations. However, such a project that benefits the people has caused a lot of complaints due to the disassembly and assembly of the air conditioning unit.

The outdoor unit of the north air conditioner is still to be installed

In Ms. Liu's memory, the exterior wall repair project in the community has been carried out for less than half a year. According to the plan, construction will start from the south side building of the community and gradually advance northward. Building 1, where Ms. Liu resides, is the last batch. The overall repair began in April, and in early June, we were notified that we needed to dismantle the air conditioning unit. We thought it would be completed soon, but Ms. Liu did not expect that more than half a month had passed and the unit could not be installed again. "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, I really can't bear it.".

On the morning of July 10th, the reporter went to the community to check the details. Before reaching Defeng Road, I saw several figures wearing safety helmets faintly appearing in the hanging basket on a tall building in the distance. Taking a closer look, most of the beige exterior walls have been repaired, and the remaining few on the east side are still cement colored. Workers are working in the air under high temperatures. Upon closer inspection, many of the connecting pipes between the indoor and outdoor units of the air conditioner are hanging on the exterior wall. The reporter walked around the community and found that most of the air conditioning units on the south exterior walls of buildings 1 and 2 have been restored, while the progress in the north is slower, with only a few scattered air conditioning units visible on a few floors.

The exterior walls on the east side are still cement colored.

There are many pipes hanging in the air on the north exterior wall, and the air conditioning units on some floors have been reinstalled.

A resident living in Building 1 told reporters that there are multiple households in the building that are not fully ventilated from north to south. "No matter which side is demolished, it will result in some households having no air conditioning available at all.". She told reporters that due to the dust generated during the construction of the exterior walls, the windows were not open and the house was particularly stuffy. "Some residents moved directly to other places, and we had no choice but to endure it," she said. In recent days, due to frequent high temperature warnings, the construction company has installed air conditioning in the small rooms of the house according to residents' voices. "We can only try to stay in air-conditioned rooms as much as possible, and dare not go to other rooms. I don't know when the construction will end?"

Try to ensure one air conditioner per household as much as possible

In the north gate and elevator of the community, nameplates and related notices for this project are posted. As shown above, this construction involves the maintenance and comprehensive renovation of the exterior wall insulation system, with a completion date of July 30th. According to the staff of the Hengxian Community Neighborhood Committee, Nanjiao Yipin is a type of residential community in Jinhai Street. In the past five years, there have been frequent occurrences of hollowing and peeling off the exterior walls of the community. The peeling wall has repeatedly hit cars and damaged air conditioning, posing significant safety hazards. Especially during the flood season, house seepage has become a common occurrence, and related complaints remain high. To address this issue, by the end of November 2022, a consensus was reached among several parties, with the developer as the main investor, government subsidies for a portion, and maintenance funds participating in a joint fundraising approach. The developer organized a plan review and bidding process to initiate the exterior wall renovation project.

"The construction started in December last year, and buildings 5, 6, 7, and 8 were basically completed in March. Several buildings to the north only started construction." The staff explained that according to the arrangement, it was necessary to complete before the flood season and have to catch up with the high temperature in June. "At the beginning of the demolition, the weather was not as hot as before, and later the construction party also initiated emergency measures. According to reports, considering the frequent high temperatures this year, the construction party has tried to restore installation as much as possible based on the progress of the project, and" try to ensure that each household can have one air conditioner ".".

How is the progress now? On the afternoon of the 10th, the staff called the construction party on the spot to inquire about the details. The construction party stated that the progress of restoring installation is related to the model of the external unit, and small air conditioning external units have little impact on construction. They are currently recovering in an orderly manner, while large external units are temporarily delayed in installation due to manpower arrangements and other reasons. Before publishing, the reporter learned that all the dismantled air conditioning units had been installed.

Solving the problem of external wall leakage and potential risk of detachment is already a good thing for the people. In the interview, many residents also expressed support and understanding for this. However, due to the long construction period of exterior wall repair, once excavated, it usually takes four to five months to complete the repair, so a reasonable arrangement of the construction period is particularly important. At the 12345 Citizen Service Hotline, disputes over the use of air conditioning during the repair period are not uncommon. Many residents are calling for a reasonable adjustment of the construction period to avoid affecting the use of air conditioning by residents in extremely cold or hot weather.
