The Supreme People's Court held a press conference on the morning of the 8th, during which Chen Yifang, the President of the Civil First Division of the Supreme People's Court, introduced that as of October 2023, nearly 100000 elevators had been installed in existing residential areas across the country. Chen Yifang stated that with the profound changes in China's population structure and the increasing demand of the people for a better life, the installation of elevators in old residential areas has become an urgent need for urban families, especially those with the elderly, infants, and disabled. As of October 2023, nearly 100000 elevators have been installed in existing residential areas across the country, but the installation of elevators is still a difficult issue that the public strongly reflects in the renovation of old residential areas. During the installation and use of elevators, disputes can easily arise due to different needs and interests among neighbors upstairs and downstairs. The proper resolution of neighborhood disputes and the provision of strong legal guarantees for the installation of elevators in existing residential areas in old neighborhoods are related to the happiness and safety of millions of families, the safe and convenient transportation of "one elderly and one child" and disabled people, and the harmony and stability of grassroots communities.
