Jeonnam Province Recruits Beneficiaries for Aging Small-Scale Apartment Repair Support Project

Usage inspection over 15 years elapsed... Maximum 20 million won per complex

Jeonnam Province announced on the 10th that it will additionally recruit beneficiaries for the ‘2023 Small-scale Apartment Repair Support Project’ aimed at ensuring the safety and creating a pleasant living environment in aging small-scale apartment complexes.

The support targets small-scale apartment complexes that have passed 15 years since their usage inspection. Applications can be submitted by the representative of the small-scale apartment complex with the application form and necessary documents to the apartment housing department of the city or county where the apartment complex is located. Additional recruitment will continue until this year’s project budget is exhausted.

With a total project budget of 800 million KRW, up to 20 million KRW per complex will be provided for safety inspection costs, exterior wall leakage and crack repairs, fire prevention facilities, improvement of working conditions for security workers, and maintenance of common facilities within the complex.

In particular, considering the flooding accident in the underground parking lot of an apartment complex caused by last year’s sudden heavy rain, this year the scope has been expanded to include flood prevention facilities such as water barriers, flood gates at underground and first-floor entrances.

Apartment complexes with 300 or more households, those with 150 or more households equipped with elevators, apartment complexes with centralized heating systems, and mixed-use buildings with 150 or more residential households are excluded from the support.

Since 2018 until last year, the province has supported the maintenance of aging facilities in a total of 377 apartment complexes with approximately 3 billion KRW in project funds.

Jung Young-su, Director of the Architecture Development Division of Jeonnam Province, said, “Through the repair support project for aging small-scale apartment complexes, we will proactively eliminate risk factors for safety accidents so that residents can live in a safe and pleasant residential environment.”
