For the People's Committees of localities that have not yet proposed inspection costs, they must urgently submit a proposal report to the Department of Construction for synthesis and transfer to the Department of Finance to arrange funding for implementation.

The Department of Finance is assigned to allocate funds for apartment building inspection to the People's Committees of wards to carry out the inspection work.

The Department of Construction is assigned to guide the People's Committees of localities on the procedures for conducting inspections according to regulations; receive inspection results reports, review and issue conclusions on the quality inspection of apartment buildings.

The People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City noted that the inspection conclusion must clearly state the inspection contents according to the provisions of the law on construction and must determine that the inspected apartment building is not yet in a case of demolition or is in a case of demolition.

In case the apartment building is not yet subject to demolition, the inspection conclusion must clearly state the period of continued use until the apartment building is subject to demolition. The Department of Construction will then publicly post the inspection conclusion on the Department's electronic information portal.
