[New Taipei News] To improve issues such as peeling tiles on old building exterior walls and messy pipelines that affect public safety and city aesthetics within its jurisdiction, the New Taipei City Government has recently been vigorously promoting the ‘Maintenance and Facade Repair Subsidy’ project. The city government hopes to encourage communities to actively undertake building facade renovations through high subsidies, not only improving the quality of the living environment but also comprehensively optimizing the urban landscape.
🚨 Focusing on Old Facade Issues to Enhance Urban Safety and Aesthetics
As the city develops, many buildings constructed early on have often encountered dangerous situations where exterior wall tiles loosen and peel off due to long-term lack of maintenance, posing a serious threat to the safety of road users. At the same time, exposed air-conditioning pipelines, iron windows, and advertising signs have also caused a messy urban appearance.
The New Taipei City Government is well aware of the urgency of such issues and therefore provides substantial financial support through the “Maintenance and Facade Repair Subsidy” scheme, aimed at assisting communities in conducting the following repair projects:
- Exterior Wall Repair and Beautification: Addressing issues such as tile peeling and wall cracks, and conducting overall aesthetic design.
- Pipeline Organization: Regulating and hiding exposed messy pipelines.
- Signage and Iron Window Organization: Assisting in the removal of illegal or unsightly signs and iron windows, or conducting unified design.
💰 Heavyweight Subsidy of NT$15 Million to Encourage Active Community Application
To increase community participation willingness, the New Taipei City Government has demonstrated its determination to solve old facade problems by offering generous subsidy amounts. According to the plan details, a single application case can receive a maximum of NT$15 million in maintenance and facade repair subsidies.
The Urban Renewal Office stated that this subsidy applies to old buildings that meet specific conditions, especially those located on major thoroughfares, important transportation nodes, or areas with urban renewal potential. Through subsidies, not only can the burden on residents be reduced, but the process of urban “facelifting” can also be accelerated.
🔧 How to Apply? Citizens Can Inquire at the Urban Renewal Office
The New Taipei City Government encourages qualified community management committees or renewal associations to actively prepare documents and submit applications. For specific application details, subsidy scope, and required documents, citizens can check relevant announcements through the official website of the Urban Renewal Office of the New Taipei City Government or call the hotline for inquiries.
