Demolition of Prefabricated Slab Houses

The demolition of prefabricated slab houses should be comprehensively judged based on the safety condition and renovation value of the houses. Not all prefabricated slab houses will be directly demolished, and the compensation methods after demolition include monetary compensation, property rights exchange, and housing voucher resettlement.

I. Demolition Criteria: Safety as the Core, Not Solely Based on Age or Structural Type

According to the 'Regulations on the Administration of Urban Dangerous Houses' and urban renewal policies, whether a prefabricated slab house should be demolished requires professional safety appraisal, focusing on evaluating issues such as foundation settlement, load-bearing wall condition, beam-slab connections, concrete aging, water seepage and corrosion, seismic capacity, and the presence of unauthorized alterations to load-bearing structures. The appraisal results are classified as Class C (local load-bearing structures do not meet safety requirements, with local hazards) and Class D (severe damage to load-bearing structures, with the entire building at risk of collapse). Class D dangerous houses, due to their extremely high safety risks, must be demolished promptly; Class C houses can eliminate local hazards through reinforcement and repair. If the building is severely aged, has concentrated functional defects, and the residents have a unified willingness, they may also be included in the reconstruction scope. The policy explicitly opposes a 'one-size-fits-all' approach and emphasizes using the degree of danger rather than the age or structural type as the basis for decision-making.

II. Demolition Scope and Handling Methods: Focusing on the Dual Thresholds of Safety and Renovation Value

Starting from 2025, prefabricated slab houses with serious safety hazards and Class D dangerous houses have become key targets for urban renewal. Demolition and reconstruction, expropriation and renovation, or original-site reconstruction are the main handling methods for Class D dangerous houses, as minor repairs and maintenance are difficult to solve fundamental problems; for Class C houses, reinforcement and repair are prioritized. If the building is severely aged and the residents have a strong willingness for renovation, it can also be rebuilt after eliminating hazards through engineering measures. The policy emphasizes the dual thresholds of 'safety' and 'renovation value' to avoid waste of resources.

III. Compensation Methods: Three Paths to Meet Different Needs

1. Monetary Compensation: Professional appraisal agencies determine the compensation standards based on the prices of surrounding second-hand houses, covering house value, decoration costs, moving expenses, transitional rent, and on-time signing bonuses. Suitable for families that need flexible use of funds or plan to move to another city or location.
2. Property Rights Exchange: Includes 'original-site relocation' and 'off-site resettlement'. When signing the contract, the building number, address, area, layout, and delivery date of the resettlement house should be clearly specified to avoid disputes over common area or delayed delivery risks. Suitable for elderly families that are unwilling to leave their familiar environment and have limited funds.
3. Housing Voucher Resettlement: Issued in the form of housing purchase vouchers, it has been gradually promoted in recent years, providing more housing purchase options for the expropriated.
