摘　　要：Leaky roofs on rainy days,crumbling exterior walls,poor insulation and soundproofing,as well as aging plumbing and wiring...These problems not only diminish the comfort of homes but also create potential safety hazards.“Homes,much like people,age over time and can also develop problems as they grow older,”said Wang Shengjun,a spokesperson of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development(MOHURD),said at a press conference on August 2,adding that this requires setting up a regular inspection system for residential buildings,with the frequency determined by the building's age and function.Recent data from the MOHURD show that at the end of 2022,nearly 20 percent of existing urban buildings in China were over 30 years old,meaning they are entering the mid-to-late stages of their designed lifespan.
