Gwangju Seo-gu Promotes 'Joint Housing Excellent Management Complex Selection Contest' Project

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Seo Daeseok) announced on the 2nd that it will promote the ‘Excellent Apartment Complex Selection Contest’ to enhance the transparency of apartment management and establish a better residential culture.

The application target for the excellent apartment complex is apartment complexes subject to mandatory management with 300 or more households.

If selected as an excellent apartment complex, partial costs necessary for apartment management can be supported up to 10 million KRW. In addition, incentives such as additional points will be given when selecting targets for the ‘Seo-gu Apartment Support Project’ conducted annually.

Seo-gu established a support ordinance in 2018 and has selected three apartment complexes annually to support overall facility improvements within apartment complexes, such as rooftop waterproofing, mailbox replacement within the complex, and demolition of shared garbage disposal ducts.

This year as well, a ‘Excellent Apartment Complex Selection Evaluation Team’ composed of private experts will be formed to select three excellent apartment complexes according to evaluation criteria.

The evaluation team will conduct evaluations in three areas: general management (transparency of management, etc.), facility safety and maintenance (establishment of long-term repair plans, etc.), and community activation (resident autonomous activities and harmony events, etc.).

Apartments wishing to be selected as excellent apartment complexes can check the contest details and application methods on the Seo-gu Office website and submit the application form and required documents by visiting or mailing them to the Housing Division of the district office from the 22nd to the 24th.

A Seo-gu official said, “We hope that many excellent apartment complexes that are transparent, safe, and have good resident harmony will be discovered through the excellent apartment complex selection contest and become good examples,” and added, “We expect this to motivate the establishment of a people-centered, livable apartment residential culture.”
