On the evening of May 7, the county magistrate in charge of the county government urgently conveyed the spirit of the city's special rectification work on self-built house safety, requiring all departments to perform their statutory duties, insist on taking real actions and tough measures, and fully understand the basic number of safety hazards in the construction fields such as self-built houses, ensuring full coverage and zero omissions; the rectification must be comprehensively and in good condition, and make careful and thorough rectification; the work must be accelerated comprehensively, and strive to complete and clear zero early. We must improve the housing construction supervision system, strengthen daily law enforcement inspections, rectify prominent problems in the industry, and vigorously improve the inherent safety level of the housing construction field. We must adhere to the common responsibility of the "four parties", strengthen the local responsibilities of the party and government, departmental supervision responsibilities, the main responsibilities of the house owner (user), and personal protection responsibilities, and gather a joint force for the whole people to participate and work together. We must persist in learning from one example and apply it to others, carry out major inspections and rectifications for safety production, strictly implement work measures in a strict, tight and meticulous manner, do a solid job in basic safety production, continuously improve the level of emergency rescue capabilities, and resolutely prevent major or above accidents.

The county clearly stated that the scope of this investigation is mainly houses in places with densely populated places such as county towns, urban suburban junctions, urban villages, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, etc. It is mainly for self-built, above three floors, and residential and commercial houses to check whether there are any illegal construction, expansion and flooring, construction without approval, modification of load-bearing structure without authorization, and whether there are major safety hazards. At the same time, relevant units of the county townships (streets) have drawn special personnel to set up special working teams and inspection teams to carry out "dragnet-style" inspections of housing construction safety hazards across the county; set up a housing safety appraisal expert team and technical appraisal team to conduct on-site identification and resolution of suspected C and D dangerous houses reported by various units and townships (streets).
In addition, the county took the lead in the two offices, and each unit selected technical backbones to quickly set up six special work inspection teams to inspect the safety hazard inspection of 28 townships (streets). The inspection of the inspection of house safety hazard inspection and rectification of townships (streets) and related units is reported to the whole county every day. From May 1 to May 8, the main leaders of the county party committee and county government led a team to organize relevant functional departments to conduct on-site inspections on the investigation.
