[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dobong-gu (Mayor Dongjin Lee) is promoting a performance reinforcement support project for fire-vulnerable buildings according to the 'Building Management Act' until December 31, 2022, to ensure the safety of residents from building fires.

The target buildings for support are facilities for vulnerable evacuees on the 3rd floor or higher (medical facilities, elderly and infant care facilities, community child centers, youth training centers) and multi-use business facilities (bathhouses, postpartum care centers, academies, multi-residential facilities) that use combustible exterior materials (such as Dryvit) and do not have (simple) sprinklers installed.

These buildings are required to complete fire safety performance reinforcement construction by 2022.

Accordingly, the district plans to support up to 26 million KRW, including national and city funds, based on a total construction cost of 40 million KRW to alleviate the financial burden of reinforcement construction.

Building owners (managers) who wish to receive construction cost support must mandatorily apply replacement of combustible exterior materials vulnerable to fire such as Dryvit or install (simple) sprinklers.

If necessary, additional reinforcement methods according to building conditions, such as installing outdoor evacuation stairs, downward evacuation exits, and fire doors, can be selected.

In this regard, the district has informed owners (managers) of buildings subject to reinforcement about the support project, and is currently promoting the support project for a total of six elderly and infant care facilities (daycare centers) that applied, among which four buildings have completed reinforcement construction.

Mayor Dongjin Lee of Dobong-gu said, “Since this is a temporary support project until 2022 to prevent human and property damage caused by fire in advance, we will actively promote it to ensure fire safety.”
