物管答疑：应付建筑缺陷
问：什么是潜在缺陷（latent defect）？在缺陷保修期（defects liability period）结束后，还可以针对这些缺陷向发展商索赔吗？ 在一项分层住宅项目中，潜在缺陷可能在缺陷保修期结束后的任何时候显现出来。一般很快在缺陷保修期结束后出现的潜在缺陷，包括了漏水、破裂、脱漆与瓷砖剥落等。长期而言，潜在缺陷还有混凝土剥落、地面沉陷及水管漏水等。 另一种潜在缺陷的类型是“重复发生”的缺陷，这类型的缺陷往往是因为发展商雇佣的承包商在缺陷保修期时进行了维修，但没有将问题的根源解决。这方面的典型例子是浴室、泳池与露天花园区域的渗水问题。 因此，有关的共管机构（JMB）或管理机构（MC）必须熟知相关法律，并寻求法律建议。 如果具备完整的证据和文件，业主是可以在缺陷保修期结束后，向发展商索赔的。如果他们拥有相关保证书，就可以提出保修申请。 在共管机构设立之后，若分层房产业主要在缺陷保修期期间找出公共区域的缺陷，往往会面临许多困难。共管机构还需要正确地找出电梯、水泵、防火及电机方面的技术性缺陷。而进入这些电机房往往是有所限制和危险的。 电机系统属于昂贵的东西，维修费也相当高昂，因此，建议共管机构在缺陷保修期期间把公共区域的缺陷记录下来，并照表向发展商报告。 问：我们的建筑物有一个很漂亮的空中花园，但每当下雨的时候，花园的部分地方就会积水。对此，大楼管理员可以如何解决这个问题？ 空中花园出现积水，可能是因为排水口不足、倾斜角度不好或保养作业不佳所引致。大楼管理员应该检查排水口或雨水管是否有阻塞的问题。 Anthony Lee是Architect Centre培训员兼顾问、2019年EdgeProp大马最佳产业管理大奖评委（Best Managed Property Awards）与2019年EdgeProp.
