\nAccording to the MND, only one to two defects cases per 10,000 units are reported each year for spalling concrete, ceiling and sewage pipe leaks.
\nThe number of reported cases of defects due to workmanship of Home Improvement Programme (HIP) works beyond the Defects Liability Period (DLP) is small \u2013 about one to two cases per 10,000 units per year for spalling concrete, ceiling and sewage pipe leaks, said the Ministry of National Development (MND) in an oral reply to Parliament on Tuesday (10 January).
\nThis was made in response to MP for Aljunied GRC Muhamad Faisal Abdul Manap\u2019s query on how many cases the HDB received for repair assistance for spalling concrete, ceiling and sewage pipe leaks in one year beyond the HIP DLP.
\nThe HIP aims to help flat owners address common maintenance issues in ageing flats, such as spalling concrete and ceiling leaks.
\nOccasionally, however, such problems may still recur following the completion of the improvement works.
\nThe Housing Board\u2019s contractors will carry out the necessary rectification for defects reported within the one-year DLP upon completion of the HIP works.
\nFor cases reported after the DLP, the HDB will look into the nature and cause of the feedback and advise flat owners on the follow-up action accordingly, said the MND.
\nFor spalling concrete or ceiling leak cases arising out of wear and tear, the HDB may offer \u201cassistance to flat owners to repair and co-share the cost of repairs under the Goodwill Repair Assistance Scheme\u201d, the ministry added.
