An unbelievable mistake has been discovered in an apartment building where construction defects were found one after another and it was decided to rebuild it. Residents are crying out in despair. ■ Apartment "The north was off" Management Association Director "An elderly couple who are about to turn 190 years old (combined age) are in real trouble. They have no hope of living tomorrow. Please help them." The man lived in an 8-story apartment building in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo. There are 49 units in total, including high-rise and low-rise buildings. According to the management association of the apartment building, it was completed in 1998, but since 2018, construction defects such as numerous holes in the beams have been discovered one after another. In 2020, the owner, Tokyu Real Estate, proposed to the residents that the building be rebuilt due to earthquake resistance issues. In preparation for the rebuild, the residents were temporarily relocated to temporary housing, with the owner covering the rent. However, an unbelievable mistake was later discovered. The chairman of the management association said, "After carrying out the survey work, we discovered that true north was 14 degrees off to the west." The direction of true north on the blueprints created before construction was 14 degrees off from the actual direction. The chairman of the management association said, "This is a violation of the Building Standards Act, including restrictions on shadows and height slopes." If the building were rebuilt to comply with the height restrictions and other laws, the number of units would be roughly half, at around 25. ■Proposal to buy the units from the residents In response to this, the owner withdrew the plan to rebuild. He made it clear that he would buy the units from the residents and demolish the apartment building. He said that he had notified the residents to vacate their temporary residences if they did not agree to the purchase by the 20th. The chairman of the management association said, "Instead of being able to return, we are now in a situation where we are being evicted, and we are living in great pain every day." An unprecedented mistake in the direction of the blueprints. An expert said the following. Takahiko Ishida, a first-class architect who is familiar with issues surrounding condominiums, said, "It's impossible. With a difference of 14 degrees, it's not surprising that a large building like an apartment building could end up spilling over into neighboring land or even into the road." Currently, about 30 units are said to be in the market for purchase. Regarding this case, Tokyu Real Estate, the owner of the project, commented, "We want to resolve the illegal construction situation as soon as possible. We will continue to respond in good faith so that the owner can be convinced to demolish the building." (From the "Good!
