Example of Building Register Displaying Individual House Prices

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] # “I got the building register and saw that the individual house price is now listed, so I don’t have to get a separate individual house price confirmation certificate anymore. It’s really great.”

Seocho-gu (District Mayor Jeon Seong-su) will start issuing general building registers with the ‘individual house price’ listed from November.

Previously, the general building register only showed information about the building such as location, area, and number of floors, and to know the individual house price, one had to separately obtain an individual house price confirmation certificate (fee 800 KRW).

In response, Seocho-gu, aiming to provide convenience to civil petitioners, devised a method by matching the publicly announced individual house price data as of January 1 of this year with the general building register data from the Seumteo system in Excel, then finding individual houses where the lot number and total floor area all matched to list the individual house price.

Seocho-gu plans to list the individual house price in the ‘Other Remarks’ section at the bottom right of the general building register. Accordingly, the district expects a triple effect of greatly simplifying unnecessary civil petition documents for residents, as well as saving time and economic costs.

Currently, out of a total of 5,633 houses with individual house prices publicly announced as of January 1 this year, prices for 2,710 houses have been listed in the general building register.

Additionally, individual house data with mismatched lot numbers and total floor areas will be continuously reviewed, supplemented, and reflected in the system.

Building register issuance is available at the community service center civil petition counters or unmanned civil petition issuance machines, and can be obtained free of charge online via the Building Administration System Seumteo or Government24.

Jeon Seong-su, Mayor of Seocho-gu, said, “We will continue to strive to resolve inconveniences from the residents’ perspective and provide better administrative services to improve residents’ quality of life through communication with them.”

Nowon-gu (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) announced that it will hold the ‘2022 Apartment Healing Festival’ on the 30th at Deungnamu Culture Park and Junggae Neighborhood Park in Junggae-dong.

The ‘Apartment Healing Festival’ is an event jointly hosted by the district and the Nowon-gu Apartment Council to spread a proper residential culture in apartment complexes within the area and provide an opportunity for harmony and communication among residents.

The event will be held on Sunday the 30th from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Deungnamu Culture Park and Junggae Neighborhood Park, which face each other across Dongil-ro. Various events are prepared, including ▲ presentations and awards for outstanding apartment cases ▲ special performances ▲ sharing market ▲ experience booths ▲ apartment consultation offices.

First, the opening ceremony will start at 11 a.m. in the multipurpose hall of the Buk Seoul Museum of Art inside Deungnamu Culture Park, followed by the ‘Nowon-gu Apartment Community Activation Best Practice Contest’ presentation. This session introduces projects each apartment complex has independently promoted to resolve conflicts and foster resident harmony, sharing excellent cases.

Seven apartment complexes selected through the first written evaluation will participate in the on-site presentation, and first to third places will be chosen by votes from a professional evaluation team and an on-site evaluation team. The selected apartments will receive a certain amount of subsidy, and the first-place complex will be awarded a prestigious apartment certification plaque in November.

At the outdoor venue, various genre performances will elevate the festival atmosphere. On the Deungnamu Culture Park stage, hosted by broadcaster Jo Young-gu, there will be fusion gugak (traditional Korean music), a cappella, jazz, trot, and busking performances. On the opposite side at Junggae Neighborhood Park, performances by Korea’s top street artists participating in the Nowon Street Arts Festival can be enjoyed.

Throughout the parks, residents can freely participate in the sharing market to buy and sell secondhand goods, and about 50 experience and food booths prepared by each apartment complex will operate. Activities such as rice cake making and sharing various foods are planned to help neighbors build memories together.

Consultation booths will also be available where residents can receive advice from lawyers, architects, and public officials. They can get ‘civil complaint mediation consultations’ on issues like noise between floors, management fee details, and management entity operations, as well as ‘technical support consultations’ related to construction within apartment complexes and decision-making by resident representative meetings.

The district has been implementing various apartment support projects to create a safe residential environment and revitalize the village community.

Since 2019, the district has invested its budget to replace old piping in 20 complexes with about 24,000 households to create a pleasant living environment, and has led efforts to build a cooperative apartment culture by implementing a ‘basic facility support project’ to improve working conditions for apartment workers.

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, said, “I hope this event becomes a place for communication with neighbors and an opportunity to spread a desirable apartment culture. Since more than 80% of residents live in apartments, we will continue to implement substantial apartment support projects to create a better living environment.”
