Dongdaemun-gu, Let's Create Transparent and Healthy Apartments Together

Proactive Inspection and Guidance for 76 Apartment Complexes with Mandatory Management of 150 or More Households

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor You Deok-yeol) will conduct preliminary guidance and inspections over two years starting next year for 76 apartment complexes with mandatory management of 150 or more households. These inspections will cover overall operational matters such as budget execution for management fees and long-term repair reserves generated in multi-family housing, as well as compliance with laws by the operating entities.

Multi-family housing must be managed transparently and efficiently to protect residents' rights and improve living standards, but disputes continue due to habitual work practices at management sites.

Accordingly, the district has formed a preliminary inspection team for multi-family housing composed of accountants, housing managers, and public officials to correct problems, minimize disputes among residents, and enhance management transparency. The team will conduct inspections at least once every two years for the 76 mandatory management apartment complexes.

The inspection targets mainly include areas where disputes frequently occur, such as compliance with election and resolution procedures for resident representatives, adherence to business selection guidelines when contracting construction and services, establishment and expenditure procedures of long-term repair plans, and compliance with amendment procedures of management regulations and related laws.

The preliminary guidance and inspection of multi-family housing will be operated with a focus on education rather than detection. Apartment complexes subject to inspection will be prioritized based on those requesting guidance and those with many recent complaints. Apartments with recently changed management entities and those not inspected for a long time will also be given priority.

You Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “We have promoted preliminary guidance and inspection as a proactive measure for complaints related to multi-family housing to enhance transparency in apartment management. Through this guidance and inspection, we hope to identify the main causes of disputes occurring within multi-family housing, propose amicable solutions, resolve resident conflicts, and foster a cooperative atmosphere among residents.”
