According to Lao Dong reporters, the C8 Giang Vo apartment building (Ba Dinh district) was built in 1979, consisting of 5-storey buildings. Up to now, after more than 40 years of use, the structure of the building here is showing signs of cracking, many households have expanded and renovated the "tiger cages, bird cages" during use.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Van (name of the person requesting the change, living on the 1st floor of the C8 Giang Vo apartment building) said that most of the people here are looking forward to the renovation plan for the old apartment building.
However, according to Ms. Van, after many dialogues, the apartment complex has not yet been able to agree on a compensation and relocation plan, and has not found a suitable investor.
Many residents living in the apartment building shared that they really hope that the renovation of old apartment buildings will be implemented soon, with transparency in compensation and support policies during construction.
In reality, many 18-30m2 apartment buildings are the main living space for 2-3 generations in a family. This leads to many inconveniences in the daily life of many households.
Investigation by Lao Dong reporters shows that the Hanoi People's Committee recently requested Ba Dinh district to complete the submission of detailed planning, scale 1/500, to renovate and rebuild Thanh Cong, Ngoc Khanh, and Giang Vo apartment buildings in December 2024.
At the same time, urgently research and submit for approval the master plan for renovation and reconstruction of the Ministry of Justice, research the plan to collect independent and single apartment buildings into the detailed planning, scale 1/500, to renovate and rebuild old apartment buildings in the district.
Recently, Mr. Mac Dinh Minh - Deputy Director of Hanoi Department of Construction - commented that the implementation of work related to the renovation and reconstruction of 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.
