Jiang'an Prefabricated Panel Housing

The situation of prefabricated panel housing in Jiang'an District varies by residential community. Overall renovation is based on safety assessment results, following the principle of 'retention, renovation, and demolition in combination,' with priority given to demolishing Grade D dilapidated buildings and reinforcing and repairing Grade C dilapidated buildings.

Specific Community Situations

1. Caijiatian B District Yangdianli: This community, built in 1991, features brick-concrete prefabricated panel structures. As of March 2025, it has not been included in the recent renovation plans for old residential communities, nor in the urban renewal and housing acquisition plans (demolition and renewal category) for the central urban area of the city. This means that in the short term, the community will not undergo large-scale renovation or demolition, and residents need to pay attention to daily maintenance and safety conditions of the buildings.

2. Some Communities on Zhajia Road: Built in the 1980s, these buildings have prefabricated panel structures and suffer from issues such as aging indoor pipelines and water leakage. As of November 2025, this area has not been included in the 2025 demolition and renewal plans, but subsequent solutions will be gradually addressed through old residential community renovations or dilapidated building renovations based on policy conditions. Renovation methods may include pipeline updates and building reinforcement, with specifics pending official notifications.

Overall Policy Orientation

According to 2026 policies, urban renewal adheres to the principle of 'retention, renovation, and demolition in combination, with a focus on retention, utilization, and improvement,' with the demolished area not exceeding 20% of the current total building area. Whether prefabricated panel buildings are renovated or demolished depends primarily on safety assessment results:

• Grade C Dilapidated Buildings (partially dilapidated): Some load-bearing structures do not meet safety requirements, and policies clearly prioritize reinforcement and repair. Demolition and reconstruction are considered only when reinforcement costs exceed reconstruction costs or when repairs still fail to meet standards.
• Grade D Dilapidated Buildings (entirely dilapidated): Load-bearing structures have failed and are at risk of collapse at any time. In most places, these buildings are 'demolished as necessary.' Data from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development in February 2026 shows that over 120,000 households of Grade D dilapidated buildings remain to be addressed nationwide, with prefabricated panel buildings accounting for over 60%.

Resident Precautions

If living in prefabricated panel housing, it is recommended to:

1. Pay attention to building safety assessment results and promptly apply for professional inspections from community or housing and construction departments;
2. For Grade C dilapidated buildings, cooperate with reinforcement and repair work and avoid self-renovations that may affect structural safety;
3. For Grade D dilapidated buildings, relocate in an orderly manner as arranged by the government to ensure personal safety;
4. Regularly inspect pipelines, electrical circuits, and other facilities to reduce aging risks.

The policy emphasizes that 'not all old buildings are demolished upon sight' but rather balances safety and livelihood needs through scientific assessments. Residents can maintain rational expectations and await official specific plans.
