"Once the balcony was demolished on May 20, the five of us lost a lot of money both in life and economically......"
On May 14, Mr. Huang, who lives in the talent apartment of Qingda University, told reporters that the balcony of his home was identified as "illegal construction" by relevant departments in March this year and will be demolished on May 20. According to the floor plan provided by Mr. Wong, the exact location of the balcony was not indicated at the beginning of the design of the residence. However, when he and his lover bought a house in 2010, the area of the balcony was included, but now they have to face the dilemma of "demolishing and not compensating".
"We have a total of five balconies to be demolished, all on the top floor." Mr. Huang said in an interview. "In mid-to-late March, the Laoshan District Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Brigade gave us a demolition notice because our balcony was 'illegally built'. We immediately collected and turned in the materials to prove the legality and compliance of the residential balcony. The other party was also very polite at the time, and asked Qingdao University to issue a certificate, but things became more complicated and troublesome from then on. ”
"In 2010, when my wife was teaching at Qingdao University, our family allocated and purchased this apartment." Mr. Huang said that the exact location of the balcony was not indicated on the design drawings of the apartment at the beginning of purchase, but the terrace was connected to the living room, and there was no second passage to connect to the outside, and Mr. Huang did not think much about it at that time, and paid for the area of about 81 square meters including the balcony.
"There have been no problems in the past ten years, how can it be identified as 'illegal construction' today?" Mr. Huang and the other four residents then approached the relevant person in charge of Qingdao University, but they were repeatedly "closed". "We went to look several times, and the first time we came to the door empty-handed, trying to ask what was going on, but no one responded; The second time, we prepared in advance, measured the overall area of the house, found the floor plan, and so on. However, there is only one explanation given by the school, that is, the balcony was not included in the construction area when the house was designed. In Mr. Huang's view, it was a surprise to receive such a reply. When I bought a house, I also paid for the area of the balcony, but now I say that it will be demolished, and I will neither give an explanation nor compensation, it is too difficult for me......"
Subsequently, the reporter dialed the person in charge of the school that Mr. Huang had contacted before, but the other party's phone was busy and was not successfully connected; In an interview with reporters, the person in charge of the Laoshan District Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Brigade said that the demolition on May 20 will be carried out normally. "The house purchased by the resident is not clearly marked with a balcony area, so it is an illegal building, and the demolition on May 20 will be carried out normally and will not be suspended for any reason."
