Da Nang Issues 60-Day Ultimatum to Evacuate 280 Apartments in Aging Buildings

Da Nang city has issued an ultimatum to residents of three aging apartment buildings, ordering them to vacate within 60 days. The decision, announced on July 18, targets 280 apartments across the Hoa Cuong, Thuan Phuoc, and Hoa Minh complexes, which are no longer deemed safe for habitation.

The city's authorities are implementing a plan to relocate residents, demolish the unsafe structures, and provide resettlement options. These options include continuing to rent public social housing or purchasing social housing units in non-state-funded projects. Of the affected households, 101 have opted to continue renting public housing, while 179 prefer to purchase new units.

For those awaiting permanent housing arrangements, temporary accommodation will be provided at the West dormitory project or through financial support for self-arranged housing. The city will also offer assistance with moving costs and temporary living expenses. The Department of Construction is tasked with publicizing the decision, guiding residents on social housing purchases, and monitoring the process. Local authorities in Hai Chau, Hoa Cuong, and Thanh Khe districts are responsible for public outreach, ensuring compliance, and coordinating demolition efforts.
