HONG KONG HOUSING SOCIETY ANNUAL REPORT 2020/21
UPDATING BUILDING STOCK TO COPE WITH DOUBLE AGEING
The Housing Society has 20 rental estates in its portfolio, most of which were built at least half a century ago. To provide a safe and comfortable living environment compatible with modern standards, the Housing Society devoted significant resources to the upkeep and improvement of these estates.
During the year, we allocated HK$110.5 million for 62 major improvement projects in rental estates, of which 52 projects, amounting to nearly HK$99.5 million, were planned maintenance works such as lift modernisation, slope maintenance, energy efficiency improvement work, re-roofing as well as regular maintenance of water pipes, plumbing and drainage. A significant portion of these were implemented through our Voluntary Building Assessment Scheme (VBAS), which encourages owners to maintain and manage their properties properly.
The remaining ten improvement works projects, which cost about HK$11 million, revolved around safety enhancement for lifts and escalators, reinstatement of estate office, and improvement works for drainage systems, among others.
During the year, assessments were carried out on six blocks in two estates and repairs to 31 blocks in three estates were undertaken after assessments during the preceding year.
