Chairman of the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, Phan Van Mai, has directed the urgent demolition of the apartment building at 440 Tran Hung Dao Street, District 5.

Chairman Phan Van Mai has instructed the Department of Construction to promptly study and provide feedback on the report and proposals submitted by the District 5 authorities. The department is expected to issue a response to the District 5 People’s Committee by December 15 regarding the urgent demolition of the apartment building.
Based on the consensus from the Department of Construction, the People’s Committee of District 5 will be responsible for organizing and executing the demolition of the apartment building at 440 Tran Hung Dao Street, in accordance with the approved plan. The demolition must ensure the absolute safety of lives and property of the residents and neighboring structures.
Upon completion of the demolition, Chairman Phan Van Mai has entrusted the People’s Committee of District 5 to collaborate with the Department of Construction and the Standing Board of the Steering Committee 167 to handle the public assets pertaining to the land area, in adherence to regulations. The authorities are urged to expedite the formulation of compensation and resettlement plans for the affected households.
The 440 Tran Hung Dao apartment building has been in a state of disrepair for several years. According to the inspection conclusions, the old apartment complex is rated as Grade D for danger, indicating that the load-bearing capacity of the structure can no longer meet normal usage requirements. The building poses an overall dangerous situation, necessitating immediate evacuation and urgent demolition.
Previously, the People’s Committee of District 5 had also instructed the urgent relocation of the residents to temporary accommodations at the An Phu Apartment Building in District 6. After prolonged persuasion from the authorities, the residents of the apartment complex agreed to move to their new accommodations.
Despite being assigned the task of relocating residents and urgently demolishing the 440 Tran Hung Dao apartment building in mid-2022 by the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, the People’s Committee of District 5 has been unable to execute the task due to certain obstacles.
