The Hai Phong City People’s Council has approved the decision to invest in the construction of technical infrastructure at the old apartment buildings of Van My and 311 Da Nang (Ngo Quyen District, Hai Phong City). The project’s scope involves clearing the area within five old apartment buildings in the 311 Da Nang area, 11 old apartment buildings in Van My ward, and the households within the premises of these apartments on a plot of land spanning approximately 10.07 hectares, excluding the Sao Sang 3 Kindergarten.
The investment objectives of the project are to relocate people and assets of households living in Van My and 311 Da Nang old apartment buildings to ensure safety; construct infrastructure for resettlement housing and social infrastructure to serve on-site resettlement; create a land fund to meet the needs of land arrangement for resettlement in carrying out site clearance for other projects in the district; and generate a land fund for land-use right auctions to increase state budget revenue.
The total investment for the project is VND 583,671 billion, including VND 582,932 billion from the city budget and VND 739 million from the Ngo Quyen District budget. The project is scheduled for implementation from 2023 to 2027, with the preparation phase lasting from 2023 to 2024 and the execution phase from 2024 to 2027.
The Van My apartment complex comprises apartment blocks built from the 1970s to the 1980s, along with the Sao Sang 3 Kindergarten and surrounding kiosks for business and trade.
Many of these apartment blocks are rated as Danger Level D, the highest level, indicating that they are unsafe, structurally unsound, and at risk of collapse at any time, posing a threat to both lives and property.
The walls of the Van My apartment buildings are covered in green moss, with numerous cracks indicative of their dilapidated state.
Large sections of the walls are peeling off in the stairwell of one of the apartment buildings.
Long cracks are visible in the stairwell area.
Earlier, around 6 am on May 9, while Mr. V.T.T.’s family was cooking and preparing their children for school in apartment block A1, a section of the wall measuring more than one square meter fell, damaging many of their belongings. Given the dilapidated state of the apartment complex and the constant danger it poses, Mr. T. hopes that the city will provide safe accommodations for the residents.
The Van My residential area once had over 900 ‘cage houses’ and protruding rooms. To ensure fire safety, the Hai Phong People’s Committee directed the complete removal of iron cages, cage houses, and protruding rooms in state-owned apartments by December 2023. The Van My Ward People’s Committee assigned officials to be in charge of each apartment building, organized a review, and urged households to voluntarily dismantle iron cages, cage houses, protruding rooms, and balconies enclosed with railings. Many cage houses and protruding rooms have been removed from this apartment complex.
In June 2024, the Ngo Quyen District Land Development Center coordinated with the Van My Ward People’s Committee to organize a conference to announce the plan and inform the residents of the policy for relocating households from dangerous apartments in Van My Ward to the new HH1-HH2 apartments in Dong Quoc Binh Ward. Following a review and classification of the files, approximately 1,209 cases from nine apartments, from A1 to A9 in Van My Ward, were identified as requiring arrangement and resettlement. The relocation is scheduled to be completed by September 30.
