This excellent historical protection building that was demolished is located at 888 Julu Road. At present, the gate here is closed, the courtyard wall is more than one person high, and the internal buildings are all wrapped in green nets, so you can't see the inside from the road. However, some media have revealed that the original historical protection building has been demolished beyond recognition, basically gone, and the owner has built a reinforced concrete building that looks like a modern style on the original site.
Looking from the north to the south of the building involved, the original style of the house has disappeared, and the eyes are full of modern metal structures.
Looking at the building from south to north from Julu Road, this angle has been completely blocked by green gauze.
The reporter learned from many sources on the 8th that the building here was bought by a private owner for more than 80 million yuan a few years ago. This owner is a girl who returned to China after 90, and her mother is looking after this project. At present, Jing 'an has been involved in the investigation and ordered to immediately stop new buildings and restore old buildings.
No.888 Julu Road is located in the historical protection area, and 1999 is listed as an excellent historical building in Shanghai by the Shanghai Municipal Government. Its building complex (686-892 Julu Road) is an English garden house, built in 1930, with a total of 12 buildings, arranged along the road, with a large garden in the south and a small courtyard in the back. The monomer is a fake three-story building with a red tile roof and a triangular gable exposed wood frame. According to some data, this complex is the first project undertaken by the internationally renowned architect Hudak Foreign Firm after its establishment. Hudac left many famous works in Shanghai, including International Hotel, Daguangming Cinema and Shanghai No.3 Girls' Middle School. From 19 18 to 1947, he has built more than 50 projects in Shanghai (single building 100), of which 25 projects are listed as excellent historical buildings in Shanghai.
In recent years, it is not uncommon for Shanghai to demolish historical buildings without authorization, but it is rare to see such a great impact. "Cao Yongkang, an associate professor in the Department of Architecture of Shanghai Jiaotong University, said that the punishment should be considered illegal, and the reconstruction itself should not be used as a punishment for illegal acts. Demolition of historic buildings violates the Regulations of Shanghai Municipality on the Protection of Historic and Cultural Areas and Excellent Historic Buildings. If a new building fails to report to the relevant department for obtaining the planning permission of the construction project, it also violates the Regulations of Shanghai Municipality on Urban Planning.
The reporter inquired about these two regulations and saw that there were such regulations. According to Article 42 of the Regulations on the Protection of Historic and Cultural Areas and Excellent Historical Buildings in Shanghai, if an excellent historical building is demolished without authorization, the municipal housing and land management department or the district/county housing and land management department shall order it to make corrections within a time limit or restore to its original state, and may also impose a fine of three to five times the replacement price of the excellent historical building. According to Article 68 of the Regulations of Shanghai Municipality on Urban Planning, if a construction project planning permit is not obtained or is not carried out in accordance with the construction project planning permit, the municipal or district/county planning administrative department shall order it to stop construction and dismantle it within a time limit; Unable to dismantle, confiscate the illegal buildings, structures and other facilities; If the object cannot be confiscated, the illegal income shall be confiscated at the market price; If the impact has not been completely eliminated after demolition or confiscation, a fine of 20% to 100% of the illegal part of the construction project will be imposed.
Now, the old building has been destroyed, can it be restored? In Cao Yongkang's view, the so-called reconstruction is actually a false proposition. "In order to maintain the unity of historical areas, it is not unreasonable to rebuild here, but reconstruction is reconstruction. Whether the built building is fake or fake is different from the original historical building. "
The adjacent houses on the west side of the involved building show the style of old-fashioned buildings near 888 Julu Road (the old villa on the right in the picture is under normal maintenance).
A person familiar with the matter told the reporter that the owner should have received a notice from the relevant department about the historical protection building when conducting the property right transaction, saying that it was clearly told that this is a historical protection building. If it is necessary to repair or change the building structure, it needs to be reported to the relevant department, let alone demolished. Such behavior is absolutely not allowed. Therefore, this behavior of the owner is really ridiculous.
Although the building is surrounded by high gates and walls, and there is a net cover wrapped inside, you can't see the situation inside the building from Julu Road, but some surrounding residents told reporters that it has been several months since the building was demolished and a new building was built. A few days ago, a careful netizen went around the back facade of the building and photographed its interior. The netizen revealed these pictures to the media through Weibo, which attracted media attention.
Seen from the south of the building involved, this angle has been completely blocked by green tulle.
"Whether it is to change the historical protection building or build a new modern building, it should be reported to the relevant departments, but before being exposed by netizens, the government departments seem to have no knowledge. The government must be responsible, and this responsibility needs further investigation. Which link is it? " Cao Yongkang said.
Latest progress
Shanghai will try its best to restore the original appearance of the demolished historic building on Julu Road and severely punish illegal acts.
A few days ago, the media reported that the excellent historical building at 888 Julu Road was illegally demolished. At present, the Jing 'an District Party Committee and the district government have made it clear that the deputy head of the district will lead the relevant departments to form a special working group to study and deploy related work.
It is understood that No.888 Julu Road is the third batch of outstanding historical buildings in Shanghai, and the protection category is "Class IV" (that is, the main facade of the building cannot be changed, but the interior is allowed to change). The house is private property, which can be traded and transferred normally according to regulations, and the transaction transfer registration was completed in February 2065438+2005, with legal procedures. At the same time, when the house is registered for property right transfer, the District Housing Management Bureau and the purchaser sign the Commitment Letter on the Protection Requirements of Excellent Historic Buildings and the Notice on the Protection Requirements of Excellent Historic Buildings. It is clear in the letter of commitment that the transferee should take good care of excellent historical buildings in use and daily maintenance, and shall not change the external facade, internal space and decoration of the building without authorization, and shall not change the use function of the building without authorization. However, the owner of the house demolished and rebuilt the main body of the house without going through any formalities.
Jing 'an District has investigated this matter. Details are as follows:
After investigation, on March 3, this year, the "12345" public hotline received a report that there was a violation. After learning about it, the urban management squadron of Jing 'an Temple Street went to the door to investigate. At that time, the house was not damaged and there was no violation. On May 18, the District Housing Management Bureau received a telephone complaint, and went to the house the next day to investigate and found that the internal structure of the house was demolished, and immediately requested to stop work, but the construction party refused to cooperate. After many contacts, the District Housing Authority contacted the owner's entrusted agent, Ms. Wang, on the afternoon of June 2. On June 5, the District Housing Management Bureau filed a case, and on June 6, it issued a notice of correction, and interviewed Ms. Wang three times, demanding that all illegal construction activities be stopped. Ms. Wang has now admitted the illegal facts and behaviors and is willing to cooperate with qualified units to restore the original appearance of the house as soon as possible.
According to the above investigation, the special working group of Jing 'an District will step up the next related work: First, do its best to restore the original state. Units with rich experience in the restoration of historical buildings in this area have taken over the project, read the original drawings comprehensively, and strive to trace back the demolished original materials. According to the existing wall of the house, experts have been organized to demonstrate the feasibility and operability of the reconstruction of the building, and the repair scheme has been designed under the guidance of relevant municipal departments. The second is to deal with it seriously according to law. Relevant departments of the city and district have joined hands to find out the truth and deal with relevant illegal acts in strict accordance with the Regulations on the Protection of Historical and Cultural Areas and Excellent Historical Buildings in Shanghai and other relevant regulations. The specific handling situation will be announced to the society and the media as soon as possible. The third is to draw inferences and learn lessons. Relevant departments in the district should learn from the lessons, strictly strengthen the management of historical buildings, rely on the ongoing "one floor, one volume" filing of outstanding historical buildings, implement the strictest protection mechanism for outstanding historical buildings, and accept the supervision of the society and the media.

Shanghai's outstanding historical buildings were demolished: Who is crying at Julu Road?
A clear historical protection building was demolished in broad daylight, and the regulatory authorities did not know about it for half a year. This kind of thing happened in Shanghai, and Shanghai, which constantly emphasizes the protection of historical buildings, preservation of urban context and construction of a humanistic city, is jaw-dropping.
If it hadn't been disclosed by the media recently, the "renovation project" at No.888 Julu Road would have been in full swing, until a brand-new and fashionable steel structure, which may be "postmodern" or something, was officially unveiled and became a "different landscape" in a historically protected building.
And its "predecessor"-the old villa in Hudac, which has been preserved for nearly a hundred years, should have been preserved continuously, but it can only remain in the memory of some people forever, and is forgotten by more people because of the disappearance of its body.
That's how an old building is resold for 80 million yuan. The willfulness of the owner ruined a memory of the city. We don't know whether it is completely ignorant or intentional. To be sure, in this case, many laws, regulations and institutional norms of historic buildings are ignored, just like waste paper.
The citizens who have feelings for the old building wrote this in the WeChat account, and the topic was "Julu Road is crying". Honestly. All we know is that it's not just people living in Lu Lu who cry.
In recent years, similar incidents are not isolated cases. Like this old villa on Julu Road, in recent years, more than one listed or unlisted old building has been openly "demolished by mistake", and people are too shocked to protect it.
Shanghai is not a forgetful city. On the contrary, Shanghai is striving to become a city that cherishes historical memory. Otherwise, the policy of "demolition, renovation and retention" in the transformation of old areas will not be changed to "retention, renovation and demolition", and "buildings can be read" will not be written into the report of the party congress with the nature of urban program. In recent years, a large number of people of insight from all walks of life have made great efforts to protect historical buildings. Unfortunately, the efforts of the whole city are sometimes still difficult to compete with the reckless behavior of individuals.
In this sense, crying is not just living in Lu Lu. The whole city is crying for the destruction of this century-old building.
And what can we do after crying?
It is useless to blame the owners in a bizarre way, or to point to the capital and say "willfulness". As a party to an illegal act, the owner should not only be condemned, but also be punished by law. However, people are worried that the existing legal sanctions may not be enough to achieve the purpose of punishment-according to the current administrative punishment, the owner can be fined 3 to 5 times the replacement price of the building and ordered to restore it to its original state. But everyone knows that money is often not a problem. What can a historic building with almost no bricks be "repaired" when it is demolished?
The default of regulators should also be seriously questioned. The transaction and transformation of historical buildings are not simple, and there are rules to follow; Since it is necessary to strictly protect it, it is natural to pay close attention and strictly supervise it. However, for half a year, local administrative departments and law enforcement departments were unaware of large-scale illegal construction. The management vacuum at the grassroots level and the "cultural unconsciousness" exposed behind it are undoubtedly more distressing.
Shanghai should take the strictest measures to protect historical buildings and continue the urban context-this is a clear policy of Shanghai and the consensus of most people in the city. But with consensus, it needs to be implemented. No matter for managers at all levels or participants in the city, it needs serious and practical efforts to turn the consensus into reality, otherwise you may regret it for life if you are not careful.
This demolished old villa is a painful lesson. At this point, we can't take it lightly. People need to see their determination to defend urban human dignity and the rule of law through fair, open and serious accountability. It is more necessary to make up for the potential hidden dangers and loopholes through the extended efforts launched from this-whether the rule of law is sound, whether the measures are strong, and whether there are shortcomings in the supervisors' ideology and will to act, all of which need serious questioning and diligent improvement.
And all the efforts are for no more tragedies, no more tragedies.
Shanghai can't cry any more.
