Sindorim Woosung 2nd Phase Also Passes Safety Inspection Threshold... Remodeling in the Area Gains Momentum

[Asia Economy Reporter Tae-min Ryu] The aging Woosung 2nd Apartment complex near Sindorim Station in Guro-gu, Seoul, has passed the first phase of the remodeling safety inspection. This comes shortly after the nearby Woosung 1st, 3rd, and 5th Apartment complexes became the first in the area to consecutively pass the safety inspection threshold for remodeling projects, raising expectations that the pace of project promotion will accelerate further.

According to the maintenance industry on the 2nd, Woosung 2nd in Sindorim-dong (with 239 households) received a C-grade pass on the first phase of the remodeling safety inspection from Guro-gu Office on the 31st of last month. This follows the Woosung 1st (169 households), 3rd (284 households), and 5th (154 households) complexes passing the safety inspection in February and March, respectively, indicating that remodeling in the area is gaining momentum.

Unlike reconstruction projects, remodeling projects require a higher safety inspection grade to proceed. If a C grade or higher is obtained, horizontal and annex building remodeling is possible, while vertical extension requires a B grade or higher.

The Sindorim Woosung 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th complexes, totaling 846 households, are all small complexes with fewer than 300 households each, built between 1992 and 1996. They are double-station complexes located between Sindorim Station on Seoul Subway Lines 1 and 2 and Dorimcheon Station on Line 2. Except for Woosung 5th, the floor area ratio of the other complexes exceeds 250%.

Woosung 1st and 2nd, and Woosung 3rd and 5th are each pursuing integrated remodeling through the establishment of associations. Woosung 1st and 2nd, which are progressing faster, selected GS Construction as the contractor in July last year. These complexes plan to increase the number of households by 25 and 29, respectively, through horizontal and annex building extensions. Woosung 3rd and 5th selected POSCO Construction as the contractor, planning to add 29 households in the 3rd and 23 households in the 5th complex.

Woosung 1st, 2nd, and 3rd were selected as pilot complexes for Seoul-style remodeling in 2018. Seoul-style remodeling is a project that supports safety inspection costs and administrative procedures for selected pilot complexes. It is known that these complexes received about 60% support for the safety inspection costs this time. Ryu Ji-taek, head of the Sindorim Woosung 1st remodeling association, stated, “Thanks to the support from Seoul City and the determination of the association members, the project is progressing smoothly.”
