Gyeonggi-do Publishes Casebook on Quality Inspection of Apartment Complexes... Expected Improvement in Apartment Quality

Casebook of Quality Inspection for Multi-family Housing

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province has published the "2022 Gyeonggi Province Apartment Quality Inspection Casebook," which contains the operational achievements of the Apartment Quality Inspection Team, where experts from various fields visit apartment complexes before move-in to inspect construction sites.

This casebook was created mainly with on-site photos to easily convey pointed and exemplary cases in 10 fields including architecture, landscaping, and fire safety, making it a useful reference for construction sites and pre-move-in inspections by residents.

Additionally, to address recent social issues such as noise between floors and to improve residents' housing satisfaction, cases of improvements in inconveniences experienced in apartment living were added.

Key improvement cases include the installation of heat-reflective tape on insulation joints to prevent condensation in Complex A, and the installation of flood barriers to prevent water intrusion in the underground parking lot and electrical room in Complex B.

The province plans to distribute about 900 copies of the casebook to apartment-related departments in cities and counties for use at construction sites, and will provide over 100 additional copies upon request from construction stakeholders.

The casebook will also be posted on the Gyeonggi Province e-book website for easy public access.

Go Yong-su, head of the Apartment Division of the province, stated, "Thanks to the efforts of the Apartment Quality Inspection Team, defects have decreased every year, and the number of solid and pleasant apartments has increased. This year's casebook includes not only pointed and exemplary cases by field but also cases aimed at improving inconveniences experienced by residents living in apartments."

The Apartment Quality Inspection Team was first introduced nationwide in 2006 to improve apartment quality, prevent defects, and provide a pleasant living environment. Over the past 16 years, it has conducted on-site inspections of a total of 2,305 complexes, enhancing resident satisfaction. Recognizing these achievements, the Apartment Quality Inspection system was legalized nationwide through the revision of the Housing Act in January 2021 and is now being expanded across the country.
