The staircase and lift are like the building’s “backstage.” If they’re regularly swept, walls aren’t covered in stains, and lights are working, it usually means the society takes maintenance and housekeeping seriously. Bills are probably being paid, and work is being monitored.
If you see overflowing dust, cobwebs, dead insects in corners, and dirty lift buttons, it often hints that cleaning contracts are weakly managed or budgets are always delayed. The same attitude may show up later in other areas: water tank cleaning, security, repairs.
You’re not just buying four walls; you’re joining a shared system. How they handle common space tells you a lot about that system.
