SINGAPORE: The lifts at Mandarin Gardens condominium along Siglap Road last underwent a major modernisation about two decades ago.
Since then, ageing equipment has led to recurring issues.
Residents at the 40-year-old estate say they face lift breakdowns every few months despite regular maintenance checks.
“Occasionally, we receive feedback from residents about their concerns over the reliability of the old lifts,” said Mr Ong Beng Guan, chairman of Mandarin Gardens’ management corporation strata titles (MCST).
“Common issues include intermittent breakdowns, slow door operations, faulty door sensors and doors that fail to close properly.”
