Following the Huailien earthquake, older residents of the Taipei Chengcheng Garden community are facing challenges with maintaining their aging building's exterior walls. With cracks, falling tiles, and warped iron windows, the community is unable to come to an agreement on repairs due to the lack of a registered management committee. Unlike newer buildings in urban areas where residents are willing to fund repairs, the 'double elderly crisis' in this community worsens as external wall management deteriorates. The Taiwan Property Management Association Chairman notes that aging buildings over fifty years old face safety concerns in various areas and calls for urgent action.
