Decentralize multiple tasks
Like other districts in Hanoi, Dong Da district has been focusing on accelerating the renovation of old apartment buildings in the area. To carry out this key task, Head of the District Urban Management Department Truong Minh Quang said that one of the key factors contributing to promoting the renovation and reconstruction of old apartment buildings is the city's continuous strengthening of decentralization and strong, clear delegation of authority to local authorities.
In particular, according to the characteristics of each location, each area, each locality, districts will proactively apply programs and solutions, as well as proactively review the Plan for implementing the renovation and construction of old apartment buildings and adjust it to suit the reality. In addition, localities also focus on implementing other plans that have been set out to ensure the overall progress according to the City's Project.
According to Mr. Truong Minh Quang, the outstanding advantage of decentralization and strong authorization from the city is to increase the initiative of districts and towns from planning, inspection to compensation, selection of compensation coefficient (coefficient K), as well as issues related to the arrangement of capital and funding for localities to implement... Thanks to that, up to now, Dong Da district has achieved some relatively important initial results. Specifically, regarding planning, the District People's Committee has completed the detailed planning task at a scale of 1/500, renovating 3 collective housing areas of Trung Tu, Kim Lien, Khuong Thuong and has compiled and sent it to the Department of Planning and Investment for appraisal in April 2024.
"After the Department of Planning and Investment appraises and the City People's Committee approves the planning task to renovate the three residential areas of Trung Tu, Kim Lien, and Khuong Thuong, the District People's Committee will organize the completion of the planning project to continue to publicly collect public opinions and complete the report for the City to consider and approve according to regulations" - Mr. Truong Minh Quang informed.
For the inspection work, the District People's Committee printed 5,000 documents (in the form of leaflets) summarizing regulations and legal policies that are easy to remember and understand for the wards to send to households, publicizing the entire system of legal documents, information, land use planning maps, urban subdivisions of the district and wards on the electronic information portal (website) of the district and wards; coordinating with the Department of Housing and Real Estate Market Management (Ministry of Construction), the Department of Construction, the Department of Planning and Investment to organize training and propaganda conferences at 100% of residential groups in the district.
As a result, up to this point, based on the total number of houses assigned by the City, Dong Da District People's Committee has organized inspection of 131 houses. The remaining houses that have not been inspected, the District People's Committee has compiled a report to the City People's Committee and the Department of Construction to develop a plan for the district to organize the implementation in the coming time.
Regarding the renovation of the level D dangerous apartment building at 51 Huynh Thuc Khang, the district is coordinating with the Department of Construction and related departments and branches to complete the compensation, support and resettlement plan.
Along with that, following the guidance of the Department of Construction, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment; the District People's Committee has submitted a report to the City People's Committee to consider and unify the selling price of old state-owned houses for rent (with 42 apartments at 51 Huynh Thuc Khang) to serve as a basis for completing and approving the compensation, support and resettlement plan.
"After being approved by the City, departments and branches, Dong Da District People's Committee will approve the compensation, support and resettlement plan and organize publicity, carry out the next steps..." - Mr. Truong Minh Quang said.
Need a special mechanism
Like most old apartment buildings in the city, some of the old apartment buildings in Dong Da district have been renovated by the land users into solid 3 to 5-storey houses and stable living quarters. As for the apartment buildings, during their use, the households have expanded and repaired them themselves, causing loss of urban aesthetics. At the same time, due to lack of regular maintenance and repair, the urban infrastructure system has degraded, leading to many houses being seriously degraded, some houses are severely damaged, posing a danger to the people living inside.
Ms. Ha Thi Dung, living in Room P116, Building C4, Kim Lien collective housing area, said that the house where her family lives is currently in serious disrepair with many broken and peeling pieces on the ceiling and surrounding walls. In order to serve daily activities, the family had to install a plastic ceiling system, but it still could not prevent water from leaking and falling onto the floor.
In addition to the fear of degradation, C4 is also frequently flooded and the stench and foul smell from the septic tank of the building is strong. “More worrying is that every time there is a storm, we are very afraid that the tiger cages and water tanks on the upper floors can fall down at any time. Therefore, the residents here hope that the competent authorities will consider speeding up the renovation of the old apartment building, so that people can soon have a safe and stable place to live,” Ms. Ha Thi Dung hoped.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Lien, Party cell secretary, Head of the residential group of C4 building, shared that the residential group regularly coordinates with the Steering Committee for renovation and reconstruction of old apartment buildings in Dong Da district and Kim Lien ward to promote propaganda work to each resident. In particular, after having a draft drawing of the detailed planning at a scale of 1/500, the residential group organized to hang and publicly post it on the bulletin boards of buildings and residential areas so that people know, support, and contribute constructive ideas for the completion of the planning.
Vice Chairman of Kim Lien Ward People's Committee Nguyen Quang Son said that in the ward, the proportion of old apartment buildings accounts for the majority of both area and population. Specifically, out of a total of 16 population groups in the whole area, there are up to 13 groups with about 16,000 people who are residents living in old apartment buildings.
It is worth mentioning that the housing areas that were built from the 1960s to now have all degraded, with 3 buildings C1, C2, C13, according to the inspection results of the competent authorities, being at level C. Implementing the direction of the City People's Committee and Dong Da District People's Committee on renovating and rebuilding old apartment buildings, the Party Committee and People's Committee of Kim Lien Ward have established a Steering Committee, developed plans for publicity, propaganda, mobilization, and dissemination of policies, projects, and plans of the City and District to each household.
It is known that in old apartment buildings in Dong Da district, the current population is larger than the population target specified in the planning blocks of the subdivision project. In addition, the target number of building floors according to the subdivision planning project H1-3 is not guaranteed to help investors balance their capital, so currently it does not attract and appeal to investors interested in participating in the renovation and construction of old apartment buildings.
"Therefore, the local side hopes that the City People's Committee and the Central Government will consider removing difficulties, especially having a specific mechanism for the issue of renovating apartments in Hanoi in general and Dong Da district in particular after the Capital Law has been passed by the National Assembly. In particular, consider removing obstacles regarding population quotas, number of floors and building specific support mechanisms for investors interested in participating in renovating old apartments in historic inner-city districts such as Dong Da, Ba Dinh..." - Head of the Urban Management Department of Dong Da district expressed.
Dong Da District is currently the locality with the largest volume of inspection and planning work for old apartments in the city. Specifically, there are currently 20 old apartment buildings in the area, including 12 concentrated apartment buildings and 8 single apartment buildings with 507 old apartment buildings built in the period of 1960 - 1970 and around the beginning of 1990 in 21 wards, with about 20,013 apartments.
