Vinh City will forcibly evict residents from building A1.
(Baonghean.vn) - Building A1 Quang Trung is the most dilapidated and dangerous apartment complex in Vinh City. Currently, 87 households have moved to new resettlement areas, and only one household remains stubbornly staying put.
Only one household remains to be relocated.
In implementing the Quang Trung apartment renovation project, Quang Trung Petroleum Urban Investment Joint Stock Company faced many difficulties, the biggest of which was the task of publicizing and persuading residents to agree to demolish the dilapidated A1 apartment building, contributing to urban beautification and improving the city's appearance.
The investor has completed the construction of two spacious and impressive high-rise apartment buildings, and all households have agreed on the compensation and resettlement plan, received their apartments, and moved to the new homes, settling down for over a year now. To date, the relocation and resettlement of residents from the old A1, A6, and part of A5 buildings to the new CT2A and CT2B apartment buildings is nearly complete, ensuring compliance with current state regulations (reaching a rate of 97.72%).

The investor was delighted, thinking they had finally cleared the old building to make way for the construction of the CT3 high-rise. However, one last household, that of Mrs. Nguyen Thi Thuy and Mr. Nguyen Van Dai, has not yet agreed to the compensation and relocation policies for the project and has not moved out. Nevertheless, because this family owns two apartments, they have received one resettlement apartment on the 10th floor (apartment 1006, CT2B building, with an area of 52.16m²).2This is the apartment allocated for resettlement for apartment number 68, 3rd floor, building A1. As for the apartment on the 1st floor where Ms. Thuy is currently living, she absolutely refuses to move out and is making many unreasonable demands.

The A1 Quang Trung apartment complex is now in a state of severe disrepair, uninhabited, with apartments lacking main door and window frames, gaping open, and overgrown with weeds covering the entire first floor, posing a risk of collapse at any moment.
The road leading to the apartment complex was also closed, but Ms. Thuy's apartment (where she runs a hair salon) was still located at the bottom of the building, which could collapse at any moment. It was very dangerous for Ms. Thuy to live there alone, especially during the rainy and stormy season.
Enforcement will be carried out soon.
On May 24, 2018, the investor, Quang Trung Petroleum Urban Investment Joint Stock Company, sent Document No. 94/CV-PVUC to the People's Committee of Vinh City and the People's Committee of Quang Trung Ward regarding the compensation, support, land clearance, and relocation of the remaining household in building A1, the renovation project of area A - Quang Trung Apartment Complex. The document clearly stated that the Vinh City Land Fund Development Center, the People's Committee of Quang Trung Ward, and the investor had proceeded with compensation by allocating resettlement apartments to the households and simultaneously paying compensation and support funds to the households as stipulated.
Mr. Ha Thai Son, Chairman of the Quang Trung Ward People's Committee, stated: Previously, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy had submitted a petition to the Vinh City People's Committee with the following contents: Regarding land price, she requested compensation and support for the house price at apartment number 2, first floor, building A1, at a rate of 25 million VND/m².2, and at the same time reduce the price of resettlement housing (for the difference in area of 22m²).2(after conversion) Room 1006, from 9.9 million VND/m²2 down to 8 million VND/m²2Ms. Thuy also argued that since her house is on the first floor, she should be relocated to the first floor, while Quang Trung Petroleum Urban Investment Joint Stock Company only has a policy of relocating residents from the second floor upwards, with the company carrying out other tasks on the first floor.
To ensure the project's progress, Quang Trung Petroleum Urban Investment Joint Stock Company provided Ms. Thuy with a ground-floor apartment as she requested (even though the company stipulated that the ground floor was not for residential use). However, Ms. Thuy demanded that the ground-floor apartment have two street frontages for her business. The company could not meet this demand, so Ms. Thuy has still refused to relocate.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy is not a registered business, does not have a business license, and does not pay taxes to the state. She expanded her hair salon on her own initiative, so her request to be relocated to an apartment with a commercial storefront is unreasonable.
Mr. Ha Thai Son added: “The Quang Trung Ward People's Committee has held numerous meetings to explain and educate the residents, and the investor has also repeatedly urged them, but to date, this household still refuses to comply. Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy is not a business owner, does not have a business license, and does not pay taxes to the state. She expanded her hair salon on her own, so her demand for relocation to an apartment with a business frontage is unreasonable. Given the danger to the lives of Ms. Thuy's family and those who frequent her hair salon, the Quang Trung Ward People's Committee has once again petitioned the city to request the Department of Construction to re-evaluate the quality of building A1 and demolish it as soon as possible.”

Mr. Ha Thanh Tinh, Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee, stated: Currently, the city has sent a document requesting the Department of Construction to conduct another quality inspection of building A1. After receiving the inspection results, the city will carry out the procedures for forced relocation to ensure the safety of residents and protect the legitimate rights of investors implementing projects in the area.
After the inspection results are available, the city will proceed with the forced relocation procedures.
The People's Committee of Vinh City also issued Document No. 3239 in response to Ms. Thuy, stating that, in accordance with the commitment made on August 3, 2015, between the People's Committee of Vinh City, the People's Committee of Quang Trung Ward, and the investor regarding the policy on compensation, support for land clearance, and resettlement: The business price for apartments in the apartment building is 11 million VND/m².2based on the converted area. Therefore, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy's household requests compensation and support for the house price at No. 2, 1st floor, building A1 at a price of 25 million VND/m².2and a reduction in the price of resettlement housing (for the difference in area, which is 22m²).2(after conversion) Room 1006, from 9.9 million VND/m²2down to 8 million VND/m²2There is no basis for resolving this.
