Suwon-si Grants 'Detailed Addresses' Ex Officio to 2,642 Single and Multi-family Houses

Suwon City will assign detailed road name addresses to single-family and multi-family houses.

The city of Suwon in Gyeonggi Province will assign detailed addresses to 2,642 single-family and multi-family houses that currently do not have detailed addresses.

A detailed address refers to the building unit, floor, and room number indicated after the road name address and building number. This system, commonly used in apartments, will be applied to multi-family houses without separate ownership and single-family houses with two or more households, assigning addresses in the form of 'Unit 000'.

Single-family and multi-family houses without detailed addresses often experience issues such as returned or lost mail and packages, and it takes time to locate them during emergencies, making prompt response difficult.

By assigning detailed addresses, it will be easier to locate individual households within single-family and multi-family houses where units, floors, and rooms are not distinguished.

The Suwon city government plans to use a field survey system (smartphone app) capable of real-time data input based on location to assign detailed addresses to 2,642 single-family and multi-family houses without detailed addresses.

A city official stated, "Assigning detailed addresses will make life more convenient for citizens," adding, "It will also reduce problems such as returned or lost mail and packages."
