Core Viewpoint - The residents of the Tangquan Yishu community in Haidian District are facing significant inconvenience due to the recent cessation of 24-hour hot water supply by the old property management, citing losses as the reason. This situation has raised concerns about the management of property services in the community [1][11]. Property Management Issues - The community is currently managed by two property management companies: the new property management company, Jindi Property, and the old property management company, Derun Property. The old property continues to provide services under the guise of a "service provider" despite the new management being hired by the residents [3][9]. - Residents have reported that the old property management has not repaired long-standing issues such as broken tiles and peeling walls in the underground parking area, indicating poor service quality [5][7][10]. Hot Water Supply Disruption - The hot water supply, previously a selling point for the community, has been disrupted since June due to the old property management's claims of financial losses. The cost of hot water has reportedly increased from 30 yuan per ton to a proposed 80 yuan, which residents find unacceptable [8][11]. - Only 304 out of 843 households in the community are currently using the hot water system, leading to increased installations of individual water heaters among residents [11]. Legal and Ownership Complications - The old property management claims that the hot water supply is unsustainable without a price increase, while the local authorities have indicated that the developer, currently in bankruptcy proceedings, can no longer subsidize the costs [11][12]. - Legal experts assert that a property management area should ideally be managed by a single property management company, regardless of ownership of specific facilities. This has led to ongoing disputes regarding the management rights of the old property [13][14]. Future Prospects - The community's management structure is complicated by the ownership of certain areas by the developer, which has hindered the complete transfer of management responsibilities to the new property management company. Efforts are being made to clarify ownership and potentially unify management under one company [12][14].
