As Nguoi Dua Tin reported earlier, the mini apartment building at 22B, lane 236 Khuong Dinh, Ha Dinh ward, Thanh Xuan district, Hanoi, which was put into use in 2017, has now deteriorated. The first floor is used as a parking lot, and the elevators and stairs on the upper floors suddenly have many cracks and splits that need to be reinforced with an iron scaffolding system supporting the base of the building's columns. To date, all residents have been evacuated from here.
Regarding the incident showing signs of unsafety, the Hanoi People's Committee has just issued a document assigning the Thanh Xuan District People's Committee to stop using this mini apartment building; at the same time, isolate the dangerous area, move people and property to ensure safety.
Accordingly, Thanh Xuan district is responsible for supporting the arrangement of temporary accommodation, ensuring stable life for households during the relocation period. During the process of site management, relevant units must monitor and observe to detect, warn and promptly handle adverse situations that may cause unsafety to the construction and neighboring constructions.
The Hanoi People's Committee also requested Thanh Xuan District to review the survey, design, licensing management and construction records of the mini apartment building at No. 22, Alley 236/17 Khuong Dinh. In addition, Thanh Xuan District was requested to clearly identify the cause of the incident and handle the responsibilities of organizations and individuals related to this mini apartment building.
Hanoi also requested the Department of Construction to review the entire city on multi-storey and multi-apartment housing types. Thereby, it will evaluate and analyze the legal nature, land management, construction investment, thoroughly handle construction works that violate construction order, and recommend competent authorities to handle violations of fire prevention and fighting.
The scaffolding system supports the columns of the building.
Mr. Nguyen Hong Phong - Head of the Management Board of the mini apartment building 22, alley 236/17 Khuong Dinh, said that the two columns in the middle of the building were cracked and lost their load-bearing capacity. In addition, the four columns around the house and the load-bearing beams were also affected. Compared to the design, the load-bearing part of the building is missing a beam leading to the elevator. In addition, the cross-section of the house's supporting columns is smaller than the design. The estimated cost of repairing the incident could be up to 4-5 billion VND. After appraisal, the process of reinforcing the load-bearing part of the mini apartment building will also take many months to complete.
According to Thanh Xuan District's Electronic Information Portal, this 8-storey mini apartment building that has to "use crutches" was granted a construction permit in 2016. The construction permit shows that the investor is allowed to build a 5-storey building, a mezzanine and an attic. Thus, compared to the construction permit, the investor has built 3 more floors.
Because there was no second escape route, a steel escape system was made to run along the outside of the 8th floor down to the 2nd floor.
Faced with the above information, many households in the mini apartment building were upset, questioning the investor's responsibility when constructing and building a building with incorrect design, affecting their rights and lives. Many households said that if the design and construction did not ensure the load-bearing structure, the investor would have to take full responsibility .
