Seoul Jung-gu Assigns Detailed Addresses to One-Room and Multi-Family Houses

Assigning detailed addresses including building, floor, and unit numbers to 1,923 units such as one-room and multi-family houses... Ensuring prompt response for mail, parcel delivery, and emergencies

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jung-gu, Seoul (Mayor Seoyangho) will assign detailed addresses to one-room and multi-family houses without building unit, floor, and room numbers to facilitate residents' use of addresses.

Detailed addresses refer to the building unit, floor, and room information indicated after the building number in the road name address. They are assigned to buildings rented out with two or more households, such as one-room apartments, multi-family houses, detached houses, general commercial buildings, and office buildings.

Jung-gu has a total of 1,923 buildings subject to this.

Multi-family houses and commercial buildings lacked detailed addresses in the building register to distinguish individual households, causing difficulties in receiving mail and parcels and in prompt response during emergencies.

Detailed addresses can be applied for by building owners or tenants, and tenants can apply immediately if the owner consents.

Additionally, the district actively promotes the use of detailed addresses by not only accepting applications but also conducting on-site investigations and assigning addresses ex officio after consulting with owners and tenants.

The project is open for applications at all times and can be applied for through the government civil service portal Government24 website, or by visiting each neighborhood community center or the Land Management Division on the 2nd floor of Jung-gu Office in person.

For related inquiries, contact the Land Management Division for guidance.

Seoyangho, Mayor of Jung-gu, said, “Assigning detailed addresses can improve inconveniences in daily life such as emergency response through accurate location identification,” and added, “We hope building owners of multi-family houses and others without detailed addresses actively apply.”
