Gwangju Buk-gu, Promotion of Facility Improvement Project for Aging Small and Medium-Sized Apartments

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 22nd that starting next month, it will promote the ‘2020 Aged Small and Medium-sized Apartment Facility Improvement Project’ to enable residents to live comfortably and stably.

Buk-gu will support 80% of the project cost per complex, up to a maximum of 32 million KRW, for multi-family housing complexes (excluding rental and employee apartments) that have passed 20 years since the usage inspection (completed before December 13, 1999) and have exclusive areas of 85㎡ or less, or where 50% or more of the households are 85㎡ or less.

The support includes facility maintenance such as rooftop waterproofing, building exterior crack repairs, painting work, parking lot and complex road paving, sidewalk block maintenance, as well as urgent maintenance such as retaining wall repairs, replacement of sewage and wastewater pipelines, and replacement of security lights and CCTV.

The selection of target complexes will be finalized for 24 to 26 complexes through the review of the ‘Multi-family Housing Support Deliberation Committee’ based on selection criteria such as the aging status of facilities, complex size, and the possibility of self-payment during next month.

In particular, considering that this is a support project for aged small-scale apartments, priority will be given to places urgently needing resident safety and living environment improvement, such as apartments over 30 years old with poor financial and residential conditions or small complexes with fewer than 300 households.

Moon In, Mayor of Buk-gu, said, “We expect that this project will improve the residential satisfaction of residents living in aged apartments,” and added, “We will continue to promote various support projects to enhance residents’ residential welfare.”
