Low-rise building has a lift for seniors
Print Edition
WORKERS are installing an elevator for seniors living in an apartment building in Da’aijiang community in Changzheng Town. More than 80 percent of people in the building are retirees and many are in their 80s.
The elevator project took families in the six-floor building 10 months to reach an agreement and to obtain all the official stamps needed to proceed. Many low-rise apartment buildings have no elevators and residents have to raise money themselves to build one. Families on lower floors are normally reluctant to pay their shares of money.
With the efforts of committee workers and the homeowner association, all the families in Building No. 5 reached a deal and began to get permits from the district departments to start the installation work.
Workers used the abandoned trash-dumping shaft to install the elevator with minimal influence on inhabitants. The project cost about 640,000 yuan (US$95,522.39). Families on the highest floor paid the most while those on the first floor need not to pay.
