[Asia Economy Reporter Bae Kyunghwan] Ahn Cheol-soo, the presidential candidate of the People’s Party, has promised free detailed safety inspections for apartments nationwide that have been completed for over 10 years.

On the 26th, Candidate Ahn stated through SNS, "Thorough preventive measures are necessary to ensure that tragic incidents like the Gwangju apartment collapse never happen again."

Specifically, Candidate Ahn said, "Immediately after winning, the transition committee will conduct comprehensive detailed safety inspections on 41,400 apartments nationwide that have been completed for over 10 years, and if any abnormal signs are found, further detailed safety inspections will be carried out." He added, "The estimated cost is about 40 billion won."

He continued, "We will conduct a full investigation into illegal subcontracting practices at construction sites nationwide, impose strong penalties, and break the chain of illegal subcontracting and poor-quality construction." He also stated, "All detected illegal activities will be punished under a zero-tolerance policy." In particular, he mentioned strengthening the current regulation that cancels construction business registration if illegal activities are detected three or more times within five years, by introducing a 'two-strike out system' that cancels registration if violations are detected twice or more within ten years.
