check with the MA of the condo. should have one to manage one.which authority and/or ministry in Singapore control the safety and maintenance of lifts in condo?
BCA?
The reason i ask this question is that the MA is having a EGM for resident to vote for several facilities upgrade.
The lift is one of them.
Recently we encountered some serious accidents resulting from the lifts malfunctioning.
I was wondering, if it concerns safety of the residents, why should we vote for it. It should be MANDATORY!.
That is why i would like to consult the relevant authority.
It is all about money.
Bitter quarrels at EGMs of condominiums is not unusual.
That is when one realises the condo swimming pool is a liability. It costs a lot to maintain, repair and operate.
The swimming pool was a novelty for 1 month after the condo residents moved in. After that they seldom use it.
Lower floor residents complain why should they pay for the repair to the roof.
Top floor residents suffering from leaking roofs are angry that others try to block the repair.
Condo MA office holders can be accused of being on the take and handing out repair/replacement contracts to their pals.
Welcome to your friendly condominium living environment.
Just hazarding a guess BCA?

If the lift is bust, repair is needed, but any work that requires large amounts of money, which is beyond what a Management Committee (volunteers) and the Management Agency (MA- paid) are allowed to approve.
If your EGM baulks at the cost, you could be looking at shutting down the lift and taking the stairs..
Many condo members want the cheapest fees, but everything costs money, and sometimes, that calls for increases to fees.

But serious mech lift failure can cause life/death threat and is of paramount safety concerns. Heard some resident mentioned that someone got trapped inside and hv to crawl out thru a small gap when the lift's inner section does not align with the outer doors. Scary!
Best way is to canvass for votes to pass the resolution. I've seen lift lifespan marked at 25years in sinking fund computation.
