President Nicușor Dan has promulgated the draft law on the establishment of the national “Lift for Life” Program, financed from the state budget, local resources and European funds, with the aim of installing elevators in apartment blocks with over 3 floors.
Approximately 3.8 million Romanians, especially residents with special needs (elderly, disabled) in almost 90,000 blocks of flats, will benefit in this way from decent conditions for access to their homes.
However, condominiums classified or in the process of being classified as historical monuments, respectively those classified in the seismic risk class RsI or RsII, will be excluded from the program, unless they are included in the intervention program to increase the level of seismic safety.
