Jing'an Residential Container House

There are residential container houses in Jing'an District, but some of them are illegal buildings that have been rectified. Here is a detailed introduction:

Situation of residential container houses: On the rooftop of No. 297 Changlin Road in Jing'an District, there was once a container-like house built and inhabited. This container house may have been self-built by the party involved to meet work and living needs, such as serving as a temporary residence.

Legality issues of residential container houses:

• Illegal building situation: The residential container house on the rooftop of No. 297 Changlin Road is an illegal building. The party involved built such a house on the rooftop without going through legal approval procedures, violating relevant building management regulations. This illegal construction not only damages the overall structure and safety of the building but may also pose safety hazards to the lives of surrounding residents. For example, there is also a boiler nearby, which is like a 'time bomb' and seriously threatens the lives and property of residents.
• Rectification measures: After receiving reports from residents, the Chengguan team of Pengpu Xincun in Jing'an District quickly arrived at the scene. The law enforcement officers turned on their执法记录仪 (body-worn cameras) to record the whole process. After locking in the evidence, they adopted a rapid disposal mode and ordered the party involved to make immediate rectifications. At first, the party involved was uncooperative, claiming that the house was built due to work and living needs and was unwilling to dismantle it by themselves. The law enforcement officers conducted on-site legal education, informing them of the impact of building illegal structures on surrounding residents. Eventually, the party involved agreed to have the container house dismantled by the urban management department.

Market situation of residential container houses: Although there are illegally built residential container houses, there are also legal sales and leasing businesses of container houses in the market. Some enterprises provide container houses of various specifications and sizes, which can be used for the transportation of ordinary goods, storage of stacked goods, maritime transportation, and as SOC (Shipper's Own Container) units. They can also be refitted for use as houses, dormitories, offices, etc. These container houses need to comply with relevant laws, regulations, and standard requirements during production, sales, and use.
