Taipei is filled with thousands of these ghastly looking things. It seems the building code in Taiwan doesn't have any provision for holding the HOA or co-op board responsible for maintenance. So the City cannot really do anything about it. Overtime, residential and commercial buildings that have sub-divided ownership structural eventually become like this due to lack of exterior upkeep and maintenance.
