There used to be a bungalow area in courtyard No. 44, Banbuqiao Street, the original Xuanwu District of Beijing. It has now been demolished and replaced by a 24-story residential building named Building No. 2 of Future Garden. However, more than ten displaced households have discovered that the promised resettlement houses offered by the developer Future Group have already been sold to others. According to reports, the demolished area belonged to the dormitory zone of the public security system. Among the more than ten displaced households are on-duty police officers, retired police officers, employees of the public security system, etc. In order to reclaim their properties, some of them "intruded" into the rooms and occupied them, engaging in opposition with the purchasers who have yet to move in and the developer.
Recently, Future Group responded, stating that the company responsible for demolition and the company responsible for selling apartments are both its subordinate companies. Due to issues in information communication, the current situation arose. They are currently studying the matter and will soon provide a solution.
The occupation of houses has led to conflicts. The relocation housing has turned into commercial housing. To protect their rights, they changed locks and occupied houses, but the issue remains unresolved after multiple reflections. They are currently studying a resolution plan.
According to reports, Building No. 2 of Future Garden does not yet have any residents, but some of the apartments have already started renovations.
In one apartment on the 8th floor, Mr. Wang, a displaced household, and several relatives take turns guarding the house to ensure its safety. Mr. Wang stated that he had previously signed an agreement with the developer, stipulating that this apartment should be his relocation housing, but it was instead sold to Mr. Yang, a citizen.
On the afternoon of May 8, Mr. Wang once again negotiated with Mr. Yang in his "home." During the conversation, emotions flared between the children of both parties, leading to arguments. Mr. Wang and Mr. Yang calmed their respective families to prevent the conflict from escalating. However, Mr. Yang requested that Mr. Wang vacate the house as soon as possible.
Mr. Yang explained that he had paid the deposit as early as 2004 and waited six years for the delivery of the house. In June 2010, he received the keys to his apartment. After learning about Mr. Wang's situation, he expressed sympathy, "They are victims, but my house cannot just be occupied by others."
It is understood that more than ten other displaced households have encountered similar situations.
According to Mr. Wang, in January 2005, he signed a demolition agreement with the developer Future Group. This agreement stipulated that after the demolition of his two bungalows, he would receive a resettlement apartment of 127 square meters in the newly built building, but he would need to pay nearly 400,000 yuan. Other displaced households also successively signed demolition agreements with the developer. According to the agreements, all could obtain resettlement housing; some did not need to pay, while others needed to cover certain costs. The agreements were accompanied by floor plans of the resettlement apartments.
Until November 2010, everyone discovered that a red-and-white 24-story residential building named Building No. 2 of Future Garden had been constructed on the site of the original bungalows. The relocated households immediately took their agreements and payments to the sales office to prepare to complete the procedures, but the staff informed them that there were no apartments allocated for them in Building No. 2.
To protect their rights, the displaced households decided to find their designated apartments based on the blueprints and occupy them first.
On April 30, Mr. Wang located his corresponding resettlement apartment on the 8th floor according to the blueprint and entered by breaking the lock. He moved beds, tables, and other items into the apartment, where multiple family members lived and ate. It is understood that many relocated households have entered their corresponding resettlement apartments by changing locks or other methods. Among them, Mr. Bu found that the interior had already been renovated when he located his apartment according to the blueprint.
Everyone expressed, "We must try to safeguard our own houses," but they worried that the houses might have already been sold, potentially leading to conflicts with buyers.
Despite multiple reflections, the issue remains unresolved.
Among these more than ten relocated households, there are on-duty police officers, retired police officers, employees of the public security system, and ordinary citizens.
During the years of waiting for relocation, some rented their own houses, while others relied on friends and family. Mr. Shang, nearly 70 years old and a retired police officer, returned to his hometown in Hebei after failing to find temporary accommodation in Beijing after the demolition. His health condition is currently poor, so he can only let his son figure out a way to obtain the house he deserves. Mr. Tang, 68 years old, currently lives with his wife in two bungalows near the demolition site, as he does not have housing in Beijing. Before retirement, he was an electrician in the public security system.
After encountering difficulties in obtaining relocation housing, the relocated households reported the situation to multiple departments, but no results have been achieved so far.
On May 3, a Liu surname official specifically responsible for resolving this issue at Future Group stated that they are aware of the problem faced by more than ten police officers unable to obtain relocation housing. Upon investigation, it was found that the company responsible for demolition work in 2005 was one of the group's subsidiaries, while another subsidiary was responsible for sales. Issues in information coordination and communication between these two companies led to the current situation. Currently, Future Group is studying the matter and will soon provide a solution, but the specific arrangements of the solution are still unclear. (By Zhang Jian)
