In Taipei, there is a lack of awareness among apartment buildings regarding the structural integrity of exterior wall tiles, leading to potential risks of tiles becoming hollow and falling off. During a professional inspection conducted by external wall inspection companies, utilizing tools like a 'testing rod,' hollow tiles were discovered by technicians hanging from ropes at high altitudes. The inspection process is crucial to identify and address potential safety hazards, especially in buildings over thirty years old, prompting Taipei City to implement regulations for regular exterior wall safety inspections for buildings over eleven stories or older than fifteen years, adjusting the reporting intervals to every three years for buildings over thirty years old.
