"We have nowhere to hide" ◄ Stuck projects in the Haifa Municipality - Chapter Two - Broadcast from Kiryat Shaprintzak

Construction evacuation complexes stuck in Haifa

(live here in the dangerous buildings) - The Haifa Municipality announced that over 125 complexes in Haifa are waiting to receive permission to carry out construction evacuation or TMA 38. Most of these complexes were built before the 80s and do not meet the Israeli standard for resistance to earthquakes. Despite the danger, the Haifa Municipality is in no rush to approve the plans and therefore Tenants who hold the signatures required for the procedure, are required to wait many years until the Haifa Municipality approves the plan for the developer to submit to a local committee.

Live here-TV in a series of broadcasts from the stuck neighborhoods

In the first episode of the series reviewing stranded evacuation and construction complexes in Haifa, we broadcast a snapshot of stranded complexes in Kiryat Eliezer, and in this episode we will provide an up-to-date snapshot of Kiryat Shprincek, a neighborhood in the west of Haifa, located at the foot of the western slopes of Carmel, between the neighborhood of Carmel Zarfati and Shaar Aliya and the Mediterranean coast, and between Neve David and Eye of the Sea.

The buildings in the neighborhood were built in the 60s of the 20th century. As part of the urban renewal plan, the old and dangerous train buildings in the neighborhood are supposed to be demolished and new, modern residential buildings built in their place. But also in this neighborhood, similar to the Kiryat Eliezer neighborhood, the projects are stuck and have not progressed for 6 years.

The residents of the neighborhood are distressed, desperate and helpless as they know that if God forbid a serious earthquake occurs or a war breaks out it could cost them their lives. This is despite the dilapidated condition of the buildings. On the tour we conducted, we saw cracked buildings that could collapse even without the occurrence of an earthquake. Buildings that do not have emergency shelters and shelters. In short, buildings that are not fit for habitation.

"The municipality annoys the architects, who go back and forth" - Attorney Itay Fried from Ron Burnett's office

(Photo: Samer Odeh-Karantinji - Chai Pa-TV)

Adv. Itai Farid Ron Burnett Adv. Office: Our office represents hundreds of families in the Sheprintak neighborhood.
For the past six years, the residents of the buildings have been united through a representative office and an organizing company, and entrepreneurs and architects have been selected from the leading and best in Israel, plans have been prepared to design complexes, so that Kiryat Sheprincek will be a "flagship neighborhood" with modern buildings, which will finally give the apartment owners the right to live in buildings that are suitable for the 21st century. XNUMX.

Unfortunately, after six years, there is no promotion of the plan by the Haifa municipality. There is no approved plan and not even a deposited plan. The architects go back and forth to the engineering administration and are asked to correct and change the plans and add more buildings and more sub-complexes and more changes, until they are exhausted.

There are such cracks in the walls of the buildings that you can put your palm up to your elbow. It is simply a visible miracle that the buildings have not yet collapsed. We are not engaged in a real estate project and we are not engaged in the vision of one or another entrepreneur getting rich, but simply in saving lives. If we don't wake up, the writing is engraved on the wall and cracked on the wall and we need to do it with all our might without delay."

► "We have nowhere to hide" - Zion Cohen, a resident of Kiryat Shaprintsak, has been waiting years for a Binui eviction

Zion Cohen, a resident of the neighborhood: "We resorted to the process of eviction of a building, more than six years ago. All the neighbors have united and there is broad agreement, above and beyond the number of signatures requested according to the law. The plans are ready and we have been to several meetings. We have seen the presentations and the one who is pushing this issue is none other than the Haifa municipality.

We feel great distress, both because of the age of the buildings, which are already in a precarious condition, and because of the dangers of earthquakes, because we have nowhere to hide and everything could collapse on our heads. We are also afraid due to the danger of war and missile attack, because we have no protection. We want to benefit and improve housing against earthquakes and missiles.

I really don't understand why it is so difficult for the municipality to approve the plans for us, or to guide the developers in such a planning procedure that takes people and residents into account. We are in trouble."

Sigal Steinberg organizes the tenants: "I want to express the pain of the tenants who come to the developer and the architect who are worried about the situation because they know that an earthquake will occur in Israel and I am afraid that they will take action and the authorities will advance the plans only after human lives have been saved. We are asking the local authority, the district authority and the government to shorten the long bureaucratic processes and approve We have these complex plans."

In response to the article, the Haifa Municipality gave a statement:

The Municipality of Haifa is among the leading authorities in Israel in the field of regeneration and works to promote dozens of projects that are also carried out according to TAMA 38 for the issue. However, these are complex processes involving many parties, including entrepreneurs, the planning and construction institutions, property partners and neighbors who do not always agree with each other. This. Moreover, the renewal procedures are accompanied by a massive addition of residential apartments, which requires strict planning processes that will avoid mistakes like those made in the past and that will provide answers to the residents, among other things, regarding municipal and public infrastructures.

In order to make things easier for the residents, an Urban Renewal Administration was established in the Directorate of Engineering, which deals with the promotion of plans and projects for renewal and helps the residents in their advancement.

As for the municipality's requirement to remove safety hazards - since these are processes that take time - it is not possible to wait with the removal of hazards that may endanger tenants living in the place.

  1. I notice that in all the neighborhoods
    Tenants sign an eviction notice. There is no horizon.
    As if sticking sticks in the wheels of entrepreneurs and contractors.
    Instead of allowing them to develop and renew the city where we grew up.
    The most beautiful city in Israel with potential.
    Old people also deserve to see the miracles that will happen
    in this innovation. Lovely people
    Some are just weak and can't
    making noise... hurts

  2. In Haifa, many buildings, including in the Carmel neighborhoods, are dangerous even though they appear to be well-kept and maintained. This refers to the honey structures (DEBESH) which are not at all resistant to earthquakes or missiles. In this matter, a study was done by a team from the Technion commissioned by the Ministry of Housing and the findings showed that honey is not resistant to horizontal vectors but only to vertical forces. In addition, tenants over many decades removed sections of honey walls as part of renovations and weakened the durability of the buildings. This issue was not addressed at all or will be prioritized in the municipality.

  3. Rodan St. No. 2-4 has buildings from before the 60s!! Without shelter, without anything. Soon they will fall on your head!
    Why is the municipality dragging its feet?!?! Why every second building in Carmel will be destroyed or demolished.
    shame!!

  4. In the emergency shelter of Haifa city officials, you will be sure that they have invested millions of shekels
    All the other few shelters in the city are in a shocking situation that does not allow for a long stay
    And when in general there are shelters in many neighborhoods there are 2-3 small ones out of thousands of residents without a shelter or MMD

  5. The municipality waits until there is an earthquake and there are many victims and it will cost the municipality a lot of money to rehabilitate and house those who are left alive, therefore those who give their opinion against the plans should be replaced and they should be honored an hour earlier

  6. Cliche, this is your last chance to either approve all the projects or turn off the light in the municipality and bye!

  7. If it's just the municipality, then there is the High Court. There is a court for administrative matters

    Ron Burnett knows. Probably

  8. There is even a mayor in Haifa, a wild boar sitting there, who is disconnected from our everyday reality

  9. In order to promote the evacuation of buildings in Nosh and Ziv, the Haifa municipality must have an emergency plan for the entire area:
    1. Canceling the stupid cable car
    2. Promotion of a bus route from Hafaretz center to Dori road through Ziv center and to the Technion and Ramat Alon.
    3. Cancellation of the parking lot in the Ziv center to prevent vehicles from outside the neighborhood from entering it as much as possible.
    4. Creating an escalator between Berel Katznelson Street and the transportation terminal at the Grand Canyon to reduce car use.
    5. Ramot and Trumpeldor levels - additional frequency of lines from 5 am to 00:00 at night minimum one every fifteen minutes.
    6. Preparation of a program for educational buildings and recreational areas and sports fields that will fuel the increase in the number of children in Binui evacuation.
    Without all these there will be a collapse.

    • Even if the apartment owners pay the municipality, it will not allow the eviction of the building,
      I say this from 20 years of repeated and failed experience.

  10. In Neve Shanan, Berel St. and Azar. Buildings built in the early 1950s. In terrible condition. There has been an evacuation plan for a number of years. The developer is the builders of the high school. Unfortunately, the municipality is stopping any attempt to move forward with the project. God forbid an earthquake and all the buildings collapse on their occupants!

    • Berel Katznelson Street collapsed in terms of transportation with the increase of Pershkovsky's construction rights. Now just imagine a 5-fold doubling of the number of vehicles on this street when 2-3 more programs are promoted in the sequel.
      In the absence of public transportation - every Ziv center will collapse from this addition of vehicles.
      Understand, everything can no longer be suffocated. There is not enough infrastructure: no roads, no sewage, no drainage, no recreation, nothing.
      What you're trying to do won't work. In the end, you'll end up like Habiva Reich. People curse the traffic jams and overcrowding caused there.

  11. Haifa is among the cities in Israel in the field of regeneration. A week has passed

  12. Sorry to say but the developers who are already building in Haifa are finding that the demand is lower than they thought for the city. A combination of several parameters such as cheap apartments that have already been sold in the expansion of the stadium neighborhood in the southern entrances and a lack of interest in neighborhoods where there is a construction eviction in light of the poor condition of the neighborhood and the facilitization within it such as the lack of kindergartens and schools - the rumor has spread far and wide about the rush in the municipality to associate kindergartens and schools

    • I don't agree with you, the few projects in the coastal neighborhoods were a pleasant surprise, Ramat Hanasi, Neve David, Tsiat Europa, Navot Peres. A dizzying success compared to expectations.
      There is a problem perhaps with the east of the city, Ahad Ha'am in Hadar Neve Ganim (Paz) and in the lower city that the Haifaites are reluctant, but even there in the end everything is sold at insanely high prices in relation to the location.
      In Ramez there was a planning problem and the lack of parking.
      But the article is justified. Let's face it, Haifa is a 3-decade failure in the field of construction and renewal. Everything is crawling here.

  13. It hurts that the tenants develop expectations. As a tenant here and knowing the neighborhood, there is almost no building that has not signed a construction eviction notice. These are old contracts with multiples of 6-5 units plus or minus for each apartment that is demolished. This is the construction of an impossible and dense neighborhood, certainly in the mountainous area of ​​the neighborhood The planner also said this in his Zoom voice in the publication of the master plan about two years ago that there would be a combination of high and low.
    I don't know about the planar ascension gate, maybe somehow more will be able to materialize.
    The problem with our municipality is that Tama 38 is not being approved for the time being either, and precisely now at the current prices entrepreneurs have economic feasibility even with the addition of 3 or 4 floors. And Tama 38 (construction thickening) there is not much planning, the building remains in its place, approvals can be run and I think there will be a respectable demand for it today from entrepreneurs In contrast to 2008 when the land price was at the floor.
    Building clearances are long and exhausting processes that hardly see their end. All the more so with such a planning administration and a "hardworking" municipality like ours.

  14. Sue the municipality, I also want a taint in my building and in front of me. The time has come to renovate and invest in the city of Haifa, not to sleep and not to follow development. If the municipality in Haifa only understands lawsuits and messes, then go ahead.
