Yuyao Prefabricated Panel House Demolition

Currently, there is no unified demolition plan for prefabricated panel houses in Yuyao City, but houses that meet specific conditions may be prioritized for renovation or demolition, subject to professional appraisal and local policies. Here are the details:

I. Policy Framework and Local Implementation Principles
According to the State Council's '15th Five-Year Plan for Urban Renewal' in 2026, over 500,000 sets (units) of C- and D-grade dangerous housing and prefabricated panel houses on state-owned land nationwide need to be renovated, with a focus on eliminating safety hazards in D-grade dilapidated houses. As a county-level city, Yuyao is required to formulate specific plans within this framework, but currently, no independent policy document has been made public, emphasizing 'categorized handling and avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach'. This means that the demolition of prefabricated panel houses needs to be comprehensively decided based on the housing safety condition, regional risk level, and residents' wishes.

II. Priority Demolition Scope
Yuyao City may prioritize the handling of the following three types of prefabricated panel houses:

1. D-grade dilapidated houses: Houses that have been appraised by professional institutions as having load-bearing structures that can no longer meet safety requirements and are in a dangerous state overall. Such houses must immediately cease use and be included in the renovation plan.
2. Houses in high-risk areas: Prefabricated panel houses located in earthquake-prone areas or areas with high geological disaster risks may be included in the renovation scope due to regional risks, even if they do not meet the standards for D-grade dilapidated houses.
3. Over-aged houses without reinforcement value: Prefabricated panel buildings that are over 40 years old and lack maintenance and reinforcement value may be addressed through demolition and reconstruction or relocation and resettlement.

III. Governance Methods

1. Demolition and reconstruction: For houses that meet the priority demolition conditions, in-situ reconstruction or relocation and resettlement may be adopted, and the construction of resettlement housing will be advanced simultaneously. Yuyao City has established a comprehensive management approach for resettlement housing, requiring 'resettlement first' to ensure that residents can promptly obtain resettlement after demolition.
2. Maintenance and reinforcement: For C-grade dilapidated houses or houses with sound main structures, measures such as repairing pipelines, waterproofing, and thermal insulation may be taken to extend their service life and reduce renovation costs.
3. Resident-initiated renewal: Starting from 2026, the model of 'self-initiated renewal and in-situ reconstruction' will be promoted nationwide, allowing residents to drive housing renewal through a unified application and approval process. There are already pilot cases in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, and residents in Yuyao City can pay attention to the implementation of relevant policies.

IV. Yuyao City Developments and Resident Recommendations
Currently, the Housing Demolition and Management Center of Yuyao City has not included all prefabricated panel houses in the overall demolition plan. However, the 'Huangshanqiao Railway South' project (209 households, approximately 60,000 square meters) is included in the 2025 housing demolition plan library (draft for review), which may involve the renovation of some prefabricated panel houses. Specific implementation will commence after the approval of the plan library, based on the maturity of factors such as funding and land indicators. Residents can pay attention to housing safety appraisal notices and demolition plans issued by local governments or inquire about specific project progress through sub-district offices to promptly understand whether their houses meet the renovation conditions.
