Jinan Prefabricated Slab House Renovation

The renovation of prefabricated slab houses in Jinan should be determined based on the safety appraisal grade of the houses, mainly falling into the following categories:

I. Houses Appraised as Grade A/B If the main structure of the house is safe and appraised as Grade A or B, it will be included in the scope of old residential community renovation. The renovation focuses on improving living quality, including roof waterproofing, pipeline renewal, fire safety facility upgrades, and elevator installation. For example, Yangzhou has improved the living conditions of over 100,000 households through such renovations, and Jinan plans to advance 56 old residential community renovation projects in 2026. This type of renovation primarily focuses on optimizing public areas, with residents not bearing the risk of main structure renovation but needing to cooperate with unified planning.

II. Houses Appraised as Grade C Dilapidated Buildings If a house is appraised as a Grade C dilapidated building (partially dangerous but with a repairable main structure), repair and reinforcement measures are required. The focus is on strengthening the repair of load-bearing components such as walls, beams, columns, and floor slabs, and enhancing seismic resistance. The central budget provides up to 70% subsidy support for the renovation projects of Grade C/D dilapidated and old housing, with residents bearing the remaining costs. The renovation requires a professional institution to design a reinforcement plan, which must be approved by the housing and urban-rural development department before implementation.

III. Conditions for Expropriation and Demolition Expropriation procedures can only be legally initiated when the house requires land for the construction of public facilities such as road construction or subway construction, or when the area is included in a clear demolition and reconstruction project. Expropriation must comply with the Regulations on the Expropriation and Compensation of Houses on State-owned Land, and residents can receive monetary compensation or property rights exchange. It should be noted that mere house aging does not constitute a basis for expropriation; it must be based on the needs of public interests.

IV. Key Points for Renovation Implementation

1. Safety Appraisal: Residents need to first confirm the safety appraisal grade of their houses. Those without an appraisal can jointly apply to the community or housing and urban-rural development department for a free or subsidized appraisal.
2. Policy Inquiry: Check through the official website of the local housing and urban-rural development bureau to confirm whether the area is included in the renewal plan to avoid blind renovation.
3. Property Rights Coordination: Clarify the property rights ownership of the house and coordinate the renovation wishes of neighbors to ensure smooth construction progress.
4. Fund Raising: Clarify the source of funds, including the proportion of government subsidies, personal contributions, and housing provident fund withdrawal policies. For example, Jinan allows the withdrawal of housing provident funds for old residential community renovations.
