Seongbuk-gu '2021 Unused Approval Reported Buildings' and Other Comprehensive Inspections

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) is conducting on-site inspections until the 17th for temporary structures whose retention period has expired and reported buildings without usage approval to prevent violations of building regulations.

For temporary structures, if they continue to be used within a retention period of up to 3 years, an extension report must be completed at least 7 days before the expiration of the retention period. Temporary structures that have been demolished will be forcibly removed by the authorities, and administrative actions such as prosecution will be taken against those that fail to report an extension.

Reported buildings refer to buildings that received building reports from June 2019 to May 2020. For buildings that have not started construction after the construction commencement report, notification of loss of building report validity will be issued. For buildings where construction has been halted, building owners will be encouraged to complete the construction.

Additionally, for buildings under construction that differ from the reported details or are in use without obtaining usage approval, strong administrative measures such as imposition of enforcement fines and prosecution will be taken according to relevant regulations.

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, stated, “We plan to implement multifaceted disadvantageous measures to resolve illegal buildings by not only conducting regular inspections but also focusing on frequent checks of illegal activities.”
