The management of several relocation apartment buildings in Hanoi has rented out the first floor area for business purposes without the approval of the Hanoi People’s Committee. These first-floor areas of the relocation apartments must be reclaimed to serve as community centers.
However, according to the reporter’s observations, many first-floor areas of the reclaimed apartments in Den Lu, Dinh Cong, Bac Linh Dam, and Dong Tau have been left vacant and wasted after the reclamation.
The previously rented business area at Den Lu A4 is now vacant.
The rented business area at Dinh Cong N14B and N14C is also left unused.
Similarly, this first-floor area, which used to be rented out as a beauty and fitness center, is now empty.
The reclaimed business area at CT1 X2 and CT2 X2 Bac Linh Dam looks messy and affects the urban aesthetics.
In many relocation apartment buildings, the reclaimed areas are temporarily covered with corrugated iron sheets, and waste is strewn about.
Despite the surrounding fence, this area has become a parking lot for cars.
In the Dong Tau relocation area, the reclaimed area has been turned into a parking lot for cars.
The surrounding area has also become a parking lot for cars.
The current state of disrepair and messiness at the Dong Tau N1 building.
Many places have become warehouses for old and dilapidated items.
The kiosks in the buildings are left empty after the forced reclamation, which residents find wasteful. According to the residents, the long-standing relocation apartments are deteriorating, but many items are not on the list for repair support. Even if they are on the list, the approval process for maintenance and repair funding takes a long time. Moreover, broken elevators cause significant inconvenience, especially for the elderly and children, leading residents to contribute money for repairs.
Residents request that the Hanoi authorities develop a mechanism to generate income from the reclaimed areas to fund the improvement and repair of the community centers. Essentially, the relocation residents have already contributed land for the city’s public projects and, therefore, lack the financial means compared to those living in commercial apartments.
