Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim on inspections of HDB rental flats for repairs and maintenance
The Housing and Development Biard (HDB) proactively visits occupied rental flats annually to identify those that need repairs or maintenance. This practice was disrupted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, HDB conducts inspections in response to feedback. It aims to resume proactive inspections and is studying options such as outsourcing. It will share the details on the revised approach when they are ready. In the meantime, tenants can continue to alert HDB on the areas which need repair or maintenance and HDB will attend to these requests promptly. Minister of State for National Development Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim said this in reply to an MP’s questions in Parliament on Tuesday (Oct 3).
