Notice of the office of the municipal government on strengthening the safety management of existing buildings
County, District People’s government, the relevant units of the city:
In order to thoroughly implement the important exposition of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary on safety in production, firmly establish the concept of safe development, strengthen the bottom line thinking and red line consciousness, profoundly learn the painful lessons from the "3 7" Quanzhou, Fujian and "8 29" Linfen, Shanxi, further strengthen the safety management of existing buildings in our city, ensure the safe use of buildings, and earnestly safeguard public safety and public interests, according to the Notice of the General Office of the Provincial Government on Effectively Strengthening the Safety Management of Existing Buildings (Su Zhengban made)
First, fully understand the importance of safety management of existing buildings.
Existing buildings refer to residential buildings, industrial buildings and public buildings such as offices, schools, medical and health institutions, cultural and sports venues, stations, shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, bazaars, pension and welfare institutions, places for religious activities, etc., which involve all walks of life, and have a wide range of property rights. With the rapid development of urbanization, the number of existing buildings has increased year by year, and the structural components, equipment and facilities of existing buildings are gradually aging due to disrepair, which is easy to cause security risks. At the same time, in the process of using existing buildings, the main structure of the building is damaged or the building structure and equipment are used beyond the design load due to the unauthorized demolition and modification of the building structure or unauthorized change of the use and function of the building space by the property owner or user, which leads to frequent safety accidents in building use.
Strengthening the safety management of existing buildings from completion, delivery, use and maintenance to scrapping and dismantling is of great significance to ensuring people’s lives and property safety, maintaining social stability and promoting economic development. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council pay great attention to the safety of existing buildings. In view of the casualties caused by building collapses in various parts of the country in recent years, they have repeatedly stressed the need to effectively strengthen the safety management of existing buildings. All relevant units in counties (functional sectors) and cities should further improve their political positions, unify their ideological understanding, take the modernization of governance system and governance capacity as the guide, and conscientiously perform their duties in accordance with the principle of "territorial management, standardized use, prevention first, combination of prevention and control, and ensuring safety", speed up the construction of existing building safety governance system, strictly control illegal activities in the process of building use, carry out in-depth and sustained investigation of building hidden dangers, and effectively implement the governance of dangerous buildings.
Second, strengthen the construction of existing building safety management system
(a) to further improve the existing building safety system.Counties and districts (functional sectors) should formulate or improve the existing building safety management system according to the actual situation and the relevant policies and regulations of higher authorities. The management objects should cover all kinds of existing buildings such as urban and rural residential buildings, industrial buildings and public buildings, and the management contents should include the use of existing buildings, safety appraisal, renovation and expansion, decoration, termite control, building exterior decoration and curtain wall, maintenance of key facilities and equipment (including fire-fighting facilities, etc.), and emergency treatment.
(two) to further clarify the existing building safety responsibility.The owner of the existing building is the person responsible for the safety of the existing building. Existing buildings owned by the state or the collective, whose management unit is the person responsible for the use of safety; The actual user or manager of an existing building whose owner is unaccounted for and whose ownership is unclear shall bear the responsibility for the safety of the existing building. It is necessary to further consolidate the main responsibility for the use of existing buildings, urge those responsible for the use of existing buildings to abide by the provisions of relevant laws and regulations on building safety management, and standardize the constructionBuilding use behavior, regular safety inspection and maintenance of buildings, and timely eliminate potential safety hazards.
(three) to further clarify the existing building safety supervision responsibilities.Departments in charge of various industries should conscientiously perform their duties of production safety in accordance with the requirements of "three management and three necessities", and departments of housing construction, natural resources, finance, public security, emergency, fire protection, market supervision, urban management, etc. should do a good job in existing building safety management according to the division of responsibilities; Education, health, cultural tourism, sports, transportation, commerce, civil affairs, religious affairs and other departments should, according to their respective functions and duties, urge those responsible for the safe use of public buildings such as schools, medical and health institutions, cultural and sports venues, scenic spots, stations, shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, bazaars, pension and welfare institutions, religious activities places, etc. to carry out construction safety inspection and maintenance, and eliminate potential safety hazards.
(four) the establishment of existing building archives management system.It is necessary to attach great importance to the information collection of housing safety archives, fully grasp the information of dangerous housing safety, and establish a daily management ledger of housing safety to make the process management clear, continuous and complete, and ensure that the ledger is true and reliable; Actively rely on provincial and municipal information statistical platforms and systems for building safety investigation and rectification, give full play to the application of information technology in building safety management, improve existing building safety management files, and realize dynamic management.
(E) Building a grid management system for building safety.. All counties and districts (functional sectors) should, in accordance with the work requirements of "horizontal to the edge and vertical to the end", pay attention to giving full play to the role of towns (streets) and property service enterprises, promote the shift of management focus, and make overall plans to establish a grid management system for existing building safety in the region, so as to form a good situation in which governments at all levels, administrative departments, industry management departments and grass-roots organizations work together to form a full coverage of management scope without blind spots. Through the grid management system, the management areas should be refined step by step, and all kinds of situations that affect the safety of building use should be clearly classified by menu, so as to compact the responsibility of territorial safety management, ensure that each area has special personnel to inspect and take charge of, and find and deal with existing building safety problems in time.
Three, strengthen the supervision and management of existing building renovation and decoration.
(a) to further clarify the existing building renovation and expansion, decoration engineering capital construction procedures management requirements.Construction renovation and decoration projects with an investment of more than 300,000 yuan or a construction area of more than 300 square meters must apply for construction permits in accordance with the law, and carry out legal procedures for construction drawing review, quality and safety supervision, and completion acceptance and filing; For those who do not reach the scale of applying for construction permits and carry out building renovation and decoration projects, counties and districts (functional sectors) should further clarify the implementation of regulatory responsibilities, refine the division of labor, and strengthen process management in accordance with the requirements of territorial management principles to ensure that no behaviors that endanger the building structure occur. Urban management, housing construction, resource planning and other departments should decentralize the power of law enforcement, shift their focus, take the initiative, strengthen supervision, and strictly investigate and deal with illegal construction behaviors that endanger the safety of building structures. Villages and towns (streets), communities and property management institutions should strengthen inspections, find and stop illegal construction in time, and report to the local government platform and competent authorities in accordance with regulations. Existing building renovation and decoration projects need structural transformation or may affect structural safety, and construction can only be started after the original design unit or the design unit with the same qualification has issued design documents and passed the drawing review. Severely crack down on illegal construction, illegal transformation, unauthorized change of building purposes, etc., and give administrative punishment and credit joint punishment to those responsible for illegal use of safety according to law.
For the transformation of existing buildings into crowded places, before going through the business or opening formalities, the operator should entrust an appraisal (testing) institution to issue a building safety assessment opinion or report, which will be kept for future reference as proof of the legal use of the place, and market supervision, towns (streets), communities and other relevant departments will strengthen supervision afterwards.
(two) the establishment of interior decoration renovation project fire design review and acceptance permit pre safety evaluation system.Renovation of existing buildings. For indoor renovation projects with an investment of more than 300,000 yuan or a construction area of more than 300 square meters, the renovation subject shall fully perform the current legal procedures for project construction before applying for fire control acceptance.On the basis of, complete the appraisal (detection) of building structural safety. Without the safety appraisal (test) report, the fire department will not accept it. Below the scale, refer to the implementation.
Four, increase the investigation of existing building safety hazards.
(a) to carry out the safety investigation of existing buildings in a timely manner. Relevant units of counties (functional sectors) and cities should timely organize the safety investigation of existing buildings within their jurisdiction in combination with the investigation and rectification work of dangerous buildings carried out in recent years, and focus on checking whether the existing buildings have exceeded the design service life, whether there is overload use, unauthorized changes in building use and use functions, and whether there are illegal acts such as renovation and expansion, decoration, etc. Whether there are abnormal conditions such as settlement, cracks, deformation, damage and corrosion of the foundation or main structural members, whether there are peeling of the exterior wall veneer, cracking and damage of the thermal insulation layer of the exterior wall of the building, loosening of the interior and exterior decorative members of the building, whether there are situations such as failure to configure and set the fire-fighting facilities according to the standard or failure to keep them intact and effective, etc., and grasp the state of complete damage of the building, and timely implement the governance responsibilities and remediation measures for the potential safety hazards found in the investigation.
(two) to strengthen the construction safety inspection under certain conditions. We should attach great importance to the safety of existing buildings under severe weather conditions such as typhoon, lightning, rain and snow, and those responsible for the safety of existing buildings should conscientiously do a good job in self-inspection of the safety of existing buildings. For buildings with major security risks, personnel should be evacuated in time to avoid casualties caused by building collapse.
(3) Accelerate the establishment of a normalization mechanism for the investigation of potential safety hazards in existing buildings. All counties and districts (functional sectors) should, in combination with the investigation work, encourage the establishment of "responsible person self-inspection, grassroots grid investigation, departmental joint investigation, third-party professional inspection and government supervision" by purchasing public services and setting up professional inspection teams. Normalized safety hazard investigation mechanism,The existing building safety inspection, regular inspection of dangerous buildings and special inspection of existing building safety under certain conditions are organically combined to achieve early prevention, early detection and early elimination of potential safety hazards.
For existing buildings that have reached the designed service life, foundation or structural components are abnormal or damaged and still need to be used, as well as crowded places such as schools, medical and health institutions, cultural and sports venues, scenic spots, stations, shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, bazaars, pension and welfare institutions, public places of entertainment and religious activities, it is necessary to actively implement regular building safety inspection (identification or testing) and maintenance systems.
Five, do a solid job in the supervision and resolution of dangerous buildings.
(a) standardize the construction safety appraisal work. Housing construction departments at all levels should set up housing safety appraisal institutions, equipped with corresponding technical personnel and necessary instruments and equipment, strengthen the construction of appraisal teams, and ensure the smooth development of housing safety management. City housing safety appraisal management center is responsible for the business guidance of the city’s housing safety appraisal work, and is responsible for the identification of dangerous houses, and the implementation of the "Identification Standard for Dangerous Houses" (JGJ125). Housing safety appraisal is an important content and means of housing safety management. Appraisal institutions should follow the principles of fairness in appraisal procedures, fairness in entities and neutrality and impartiality in appraisal subjects to ensure objectivity, accuracy and authenticity of appraisal conclusions.
(2) Strengthen the classified supervision of dangerous buildings. Counties and districts (functional plates) shall assign special personnel to be responsible for tracking and supervising the dangerous buildings that have been investigated or identified before they are solved. For dangerous buildings observed and used, a supervision plan should be formulated to implement the responsible person; To deal with the dangerous buildings used, we should take effective measures to solve the danger in time, implement the main body of solving the danger, and eliminate hidden dangers in time; For dangerous buildings that are temporarily inconvenient to dismantle and do not endanger adjacent buildings and affect the safety of others, but need to be stopped, personnel should be evacuated in time, obvious warning signs should be set up, and effective sealing measures should be taken to prevent secondary disasters; For the need for overall demolition, it is necessary to strengthen the capacity building of emergency rescue and emergency support in accordance with the requirements of Lianyungang City Construction Safety Emergency Plan.
(3) Accelerate the renovation of dangerous buildings. Counties and districts (functional sectors) should strengthen the management and supervision of dangerous buildings within their jurisdiction, urge those responsible for the use of existing buildings to take the initiative to take responsibility for solving the crisis, implement measures to solve the crisis, and encourage the implementation of the social measures of "insurance+service". For a piece of housing that exceeds the designed service life or is identified as a dangerous house, priority may be given to urban renewal or shantytown renovation. The management of dangerous houses requires the use of special residential maintenance funds, and the management department of special residential maintenance funds should provide convenience within the scope of management regulations; Encourage the establishment of crisis relief funds and support property owners to reinforce and repair the crisis; If conditions permit, we can take the form of government subsidies and property owners sharing funds to rebuild or appropriately expand dangerous houses in situ, so as to solve the problems of insufficient funds for housing safety appraisal and renovation.
Six, strengthen the publicity and guidance of existing building safety management.
Counties and districts (functional sectors) should strengthen publicity and guidance, improve the main responsibility consciousness and public safety consciousness of property owners, users and managers, consciously abide by the laws and regulations on building safety management, standardize the use of buildings, reduce behaviors that affect and undermine the safety of building use, and effectively fulfill the obligations of building maintenance; It is necessary to give full play to the supervisory role of public opinion and the public, urge property owners, users and management service units, strengthen the safety management of building use, promptly discourage improper use, and ensure the safe and normal use of buildings.
