Living in Nghia Tan apartment building for more than 30 years, Ms. Le Thi Ha (65 years old) said that the apartment building is gradually deteriorating over time, so many households like her are very impatient and hope that the apartment building will be quickly renovated.
Ms. Ha informed that Nghia Tan apartment complex consists of 23 apartment buildings, 3 to 5 floors high, with an average apartment area of 18 - 20 square meters, built and put into use since 1987.
After nearly 40 years of use, the current state of this apartment complex has seriously degraded. To increase the usable area, many households here have sought every measure to expand, causing fire safety risks.
Due to the serious deterioration and leakage of the apartment building, Ms. Trinh Thi Tam (a resident in the area) said that recently, many households in Nghia Do apartment building had to move to other places to live for safety reasons and inconvenience in daily life.
Accordingly, after decades of use, the old Nghia Do apartment building has not been repaired for a long time and leaks all year round. Most residents have agreed to relocate and clear the building, but to date, the investor has not made any moves to renovate the apartment building.
According to Lao Dong reporters, at the meeting to implement the Project and Plans to implement the project to renovate and rebuild old apartment buildings in Hanoi in early December 2024, Mr. Mac Dinh Minh - Deputy Director of Hanoi Department of Construction - commented that the implementation of work related to renovating and rebuilding old apartment buildings in Hanoi is still slow, not ensuring the set progress.
Mr. Mac Dinh Minh said that according to the Capital City Construction Master Plan and Urban Zoning Plan, some current apartment buildings are not suitable for planning. For example, many old apartment buildings are planned to be green areas and parks; the architectural planning criteria are low, 1-5 floors, the current population is higher than the planned population...
In particular, due to the limitations of the number of floors in the building and the planned population, it is difficult to ensure investment efficiency and is not attractive to investors to participate in the renovation and reconstruction of apartment buildings.
Some apartment buildings are no longer in their original state; residents have made repairs and additions, making it difficult to inspect and evaluate the quality of apartment buildings; the People's Committees of districts have not yet determined the boundaries of apartment buildings.
In addition, the projects under implementation are behind the approved schedule because the investors have not yet agreed on compensation, support, temporary housing, and resettlement plans because the owners require too high compensation levels, and the investors cannot balance financial efficiency.
Legal documents related to the origin of home ownership are not available, making it difficult to specifically determine the state-owned area of the project.
