[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) is promoting the ‘Support Project for Installing Air Conditioners in Security Offices with Consideration and Coexistence’ in preparation for the increasingly hot weather and midsummer.

The support target is apartment complexes with 20 or more households in the area that employ security guards and cleaners. The district conducted a preliminary survey targeting apartment complexes in early May and plans to accept applications until the 28th.

The district will support a portion of the necessary costs (50-80%) when air conditioners are installed in security offices, security guard rest rooms, or cleaner rest rooms in apartment complexes.

In particular, the district plans to select the support targets within the first week of June and complete the installation of cooling devices before the full onset of the scorching heat, so that apartment complex workers can work and rest in a comfortable environment.

Additionally, since 2018, the district has encouraged the project by prioritizing support or increasing subsidies when applying for repairs or air conditioner installation in security guard rest rooms through the apartment complex support project. Through this, it has provided leading support to improve working conditions for apartment complex workers by supporting installation costs of 402 air conditioners in security offices of 38 complexes with 107 million KRW, and 45 million KRW for repairs of security guard and cleaner rest rooms in 8 complexes.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, stated, “Over the past four years, we have consistently worked to create a residential community that coexists with security guards, such as supporting air conditioners in security offices and signing coexistence agreements with 45 apartments promising employment stability for security workers,” and added, “We will continue to actively support so that more coexistence apartments practicing consideration and coexistence can be created.”
