Since constructing apartment buildings in Hung Binh ward, this investor has been administratively sanctioned by Vinh city authorities many times. These include violations such as organizing construction without a construction permit, violating construction area; causing subsidence, cracking, and damage to neighboring buildings... And allowing 79 households to move in while the project has not been completed and has not been inspected by competent authorities is a serious violation.

Participating in the dialogue, Colonel Dao Hong Lap - Deputy Director of the Fire Police Department said that this unit has reported the situation to the Provincial People's Committee about the investor of the PVNC2-CT02 apartment building putting the project into use without organizing the acceptance of fire prevention and fighting. Colonel Dao Hong Lap announced many violations of the investor, proposed administrative sanctions and requested the suspension of all activities in this apartment building until the fire prevention system is completely installed and inspected and accepted by the competent authority for quality. "The fire prevention and fighting system has not been completed, if there is an unfortunate fire or explosion, it will cause very serious consequences for people and property. Therefore, it is necessary to have a plan to evacuate households from the apartment building so that the investor can overcome the fire prevention and fighting work," Colonel Dao Hong Lap emphasized.

| According to the representative of the Department of Construction, the residents' reflections are well-founded. In 2016 - 2017, the Department inspected twice and discovered a number of construction items that were not in accordance with the design. Up to now, the project is still under construction and has not been inspected and accepted by the state management agency. Therefore, handing over apartments to residents while the project is not yet completed is a serious violation of the law. The representative of the Department of Construction requested the Provincial People's Committee to allow the establishment of an interdisciplinary inspection team to comprehensively inspect the construction project of the PVNC2-CT02 apartment building.

The Department of Natural Resources and Environment has sent a document to relevant departments to request a re-examination of the investor's financial capacity. Photo: Phuong Thao |

| Concluding the dialogue, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Huynh Thanh Dien affirmed that the investor of the PVNC2-CT02 apartment building had committed serious violations. In addition to pointing out the violations, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested the investor to take full responsibility for urgently moving households out of the apartment building to correct the violations; at the same time, he directed the Department of Construction to advise the Provincial People's Committee to decide to establish an interdisciplinary team to comprehensively inspect the project within 30 days, so that the Provincial People's Committee has a basis to handle violations against the investor.
