Operation, renewal and extension of building agreements

The Building Agreement is run mainly by the Steering Committee and is operated by local residents.

In running a building agreement, it is very important to confirm changes in land owners and acts such as new construction and extension of buildings.
Example 1 Notification of Change of Land Owners
※The example sentence was created by the Yokohama City Building Agreement Liaison Council as a model, so please use it after changing the style according to the local situation.

We have you report such as owners of land report to confirm whether building plan meets building agreement, and steering committee examines.
If you have not decided to file for these notifications in the Building Agreement, it is recommended that you discuss with each Building Agreement Steering Committee and Building Agreement Districts, and determine the procedures in the Building Agreement Steering Committee Bylaws.

Example 3 Building Agreement Check Sheet

When there is offer from owners of land of building agreement adjacent land to building agreement, we submit documents of participation to Yokohama-shi via Steering Committee. If it is an adjacent land, you can easily join a building agreement by submitting a registration notice.

・Building Agreement (Agreement) (2 copies)

In the event of a violation, we will make a request for suspension or removal of construction or a lawsuit with a court based on the procedures stipulated in the Building Agreement. The government cannot issue a corrective action order under the Building Standards Law for violations of the agreement.

It is a public relations paper issued by the Building Agreement Liaison Council twice a year rather than the Building Agreement, which helps to maintain and raise awareness of the Building Agreement. It is also a good idea to distribute it as an approach to the land adjacent to the building agreement. If you would like to change the number of copies distributed, please contact the Urban Development Bureau or the ward office by telephone.

If the steering chairperson or the person in charge of distribution from the Building Agreement is changed, please submit it to the Urban Development Bureau or the ward office.
