Demolition of Prefabricated Slab Houses in Hefei
The demolition of prefabricated slab houses in Hefei requires a comprehensive assessment based on the nature of the houses, policy guidance, and local practices. Currently, priority is given to the demolition of Grade D dilapidated houses, houses in high-risk areas of geological disasters, and over-aged houses without reinforcement value. The policy of demolishing and rebuilding on the original site will be implemented after the local detailed rules are issued.
I. Policy Framework and Implementation Standards
According to the current regulations in Hefei, for dangerous housing that has been identified as Grade C and Grade D and requires renovation or reconstruction, the "Interim Provisions on the Management of Renovation and Reconstruction of Dangerous Housing in Urban Areas of Hefei" (Hefang [2024] No. 22) shall be implemented, and the cost-sharing shall be based on the "Interim Measures for the Management of Disposal Subsidy Funds for Dangerous Housing in Urban Areas of Hefei" (Hefang [2024] No. 23). Among them, Grade D dilapidated houses (with severely damaged structures that must be immediately demolished or rebuilt) are the core targets for demolition and need to be identified by professional institutions and included in the government's disposal plan.
II. National and Local Priority Demolition Scope
From the perspective of policy orientation, three types of prefabricated slab houses are given priority for demolition:
- Grade D dilapidated houses: Identified by professional institutions, their structural safety does not meet residential requirements and there is a risk of collapse;
- Houses in high-risk areas of geological disasters: Prefabricated slab houses located in earthquake-prone areas, landslide-prone areas, debris-flow-prone areas, and other disaster-prone regions need to have their risk levels confirmed through geological assessments;
- Over-aged houses without reinforcement value: Prefabricated slab buildings that are over 40 years old and lack maintenance and reinforcement value need to be judged in combination with the house structural inspection report.
III. Progress of the Policy on Demolishing and Rebuilding on the Original Site
In 2025, the state proposed to "support the self-renewal and demolition and reconstruction on the original site of old housing", but Hefei has not yet issued specific implementation rules. After the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Ministry of Natural Resources jointly clarified the unified national application threshold and approval process in 2026, the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of Luyang District in Hefei will provide policy guidance and technical support in accordance with its functions and collaborate with local units to promote project implementation. Currently, residents need to wait for the issuance of local policies and then apply for reconstruction on the original site in accordance with the procedures.
IV. Implementation Suggestions
If residents are involved in the demolition of prefabricated slab houses, they should first contact the local housing and urban-rural development department for a house safety assessment to confirm whether the house is a Grade D dilapidated house or meets other priority demolition conditions. If the house has not yet been included in the government's disposal plan, residents can pay attention to the follow-up policy dynamics in Hefei and submit application materials and cooperate with the approval process as required after the detailed rules for demolition and reconstruction on the original site are issued.
