11 villas and houses in Thao Dien area built without permission

Thu Duc City Inspectorate (HCMC) has just announced the inspection conclusion on construction order management work 2021-2022 at Thao Dien Ward People's Committee.

Accordingly, the inspection team randomly checked the records stored in the ward and verified the actual status of many works according to the report of the ward People's Committee, from August 1 to September 12.

The inspection team discovered 11 illegal constructions (mainly villas and houses). Of these, 7 illegal constructions were forced to take remedial measures by the ward People's Committee but have not been implemented. 6 illegal constructions have been completed and put into use.

Regarding illegal construction projects, Thao Dien ward inspectors discovered 16 addresses that were not in accordance with the construction permit. Of these, 5 projects were completed, while at the time of inspection, only 2 addresses were still in use. In addition, 7 projects were suspended, 2 projects were still under construction, and 1 project had already repaired the violating area...

The inspection conclusion pointed out that the People's Committee of Thao Dien Ward had not promptly reviewed and evaluated the achievements, limitations, and shortcomings to resolve the shortcomings, difficulties, and obstacles in the management of construction order.

At the same time, the ward was slow to detect illegal constructions and was not determined to organize preventive and handling measures from the beginning.

The above has led to a number of illegal constructions with large areas of violations, which have not yet completed procedures to adjust the construction permit but have been completed and put into use. Some illegal constructions have increased area and structure but have not yet established records to handle violations.

Most construction works that violate the law have not yet implemented the decisions to enforce the implementation of remedial measures issued by competent state agencies.

Thu Duc City Inspectorate requested the People's Committee of Thao Dien Ward to organize a review in directing and operating the above-mentioned related work, and at the same time coordinate with related units to assign tasks in handling violations.
