Quanzhou Evening News and Quanzhoutong Client reported on August 12 (Quanzhou Evening News Media Reporter Zhang Suping, Intern Qian Fangyuan, Correspondent Li Shumei text/photo) In order to severely crack down on illegal and irregular construction activities and rectify the phenomenon of disorderly construction and rush to build in accordance with the law, recently, the Licheng District Urban Management and Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau, together with the Lizhong Street Office, carried out forced demolition of an illegal building in the core area of the ancient city in accordance with the law.
Law enforcement officers demolish illegal buildings
At 8 a.m. that day, the law enforcement unit organized professionals to carry out the demolition work. The project adopted the method of manual demolition to forcibly demolish the red bricks on the roof, the wooden beams and the internal illegal walls. After two and a half hours of operation, the illegal building was demolished. "The illegal building is located in Jiadi Lane, West Street, with an area of about 130 square meters. We initiated the immediate investigation and demolition procedure in accordance with the "Several Provisions on the Disposal of Illegal Construction in Fujian Province". Law enforcement personnel were also arranged on site to closely monitor the safety of the operation throughout the process to ensure that the demolition work was safe and orderly." Su Chaozhong, director of the Comprehensive Law Enforcement Coordination Center of Lizhong Street, told reporters.
According to reports, a few days ago, law enforcement officers from the Comprehensive Law Enforcement Coordination Center of Lizhong Street confirmed that there was illegal construction at the house through on-site patrols and satellite aerial photography comparisons. The investigation found that the building in question had a historical problem of unclear property rights. The business owner, without going through the relevant approval procedures, planned to build a homestay business venue in the name of repair.
"The building in question is an old, unused house. This renovation not only raised the walls and roof, but also changed the internal space structure of the building. The construction was not carried out in accordance with the specifications, which poses a safety hazard." According to Su Chaozhong, the law enforcement officers immediately ordered the owner to make rectifications, requiring the completion of approval procedures and demolition within a time limit. However, the owner ignored the persuasion, continued to build illegally, and obstructed the law enforcement officers from inspecting according to the law. After repeated persuasion to stop failed and the rectification was not implemented within the time limit, the District Urban Management and Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau took decisive action, mobilized law enforcement forces, and initiated forced demolition according to law.
According to the introduction, according to the "Regulations on the Repair, Renovation and Reconstruction of Private Housing in the Central City of Quanzhou (Ancient City District)" and the "Regulations on the Repair and Reconstruction of Private Housing in Licheng District (Non-Ancient City District)", the repair, renovation and reconstruction of private housing in the ancient city must be jointly reviewed by the city and the district, while the non-ancient city districts implement multi-department joint review, and implement a control mechanism for all links such as process supervision, completion acceptance, and file storage. It is clearly stipulated that the repair, renovation and reconstruction of private housing must be approved in accordance with regulations and constructed according to approved drawings to ensure that they comply with style protection and approval requirements.
However, as the ancient city's cultural tourism becomes increasingly popular, many people have privately rebuilt, expanded, and constructed old houses without approval to use them as business premises. There are widespread problems such as irregular construction during the construction process. This year, Licheng has focused on key targets, continued to increase control and inspection frequency, and resolutely curbed the chaos of illegal repairs and renovations of private housing. So far, a total of 45 illegal buildings have been demolished, covering an area of about 5,774 square meters.
Liao Senmao, captain of the Comprehensive Law Enforcement Brigade of Urban Management in Licheng District, said that if citizens find illegal construction around them, they can call the relevant reporting hotline. The streets and relevant departments in the jurisdiction will verify and deal with it as soon as possible, and achieve timely discovery, timely prevention and timely investigation and punishment.
