An 8-story mini-apartment building in Ha Dinh ward, Thanh Xuan district, Hanoi, has been reinforced with an iron scaffolding system supporting the base of its deteriorating pillars.

The mini-apartment building at 22B Alley 236 Khuong Dinh, Ha Dinh Ward, Thanh Xuan District, Hanoi City, is 8 stories high, with approximately 7 apartments per floor. The first floor is used for parking, and the upper floors are accessed by elevator and stairs. All apartments were sold to residents by the developer and have been in use since 2017.

Residents say cracks have appeared in this mini-apartment building for more than ten days. Specifically, the pillars on the first floor have numerous cracks running horizontally and vertically from the base to the ceiling.

To help reinforce the building, authorities installed additional iron scaffolding around the base of the deteriorating pillars.

Outside the scaffolding, authorities have put up a sign indicating a "restricted area".

Residents say that over time, some parts of the building have deteriorated, especially the columns under the parking garage.

In response to this situation, authorities and the developer have ordered all residents living in the apartment building to relocate.

To date, all residents have been relocated from the building.

Residents have had to rent temporary accommodation while waiting for repairs. "I hope the repairs to the dilapidated parts of the mini-apartment building will be completed soon so that the residents can return to their normal lives and not have to rent a place," said a resident living on the 6th floor.

According to Bui Huyen Mai, Secretary of the Thanh Xuan District Party Committee, after receiving information about the incident at the building, the district assigned relevant units to inspect the extent of the damage and requested all residents to evacuate to ensure safety.

"The district is supervising the relocation process as well as the repair of the buildings to ensure the highest level of security and safety for the people," the Secretary of Thanh Xuan District informed.
