Songpa-gu announced on the 20th that Asia Athlete Village Apartment passed the safety inspection on the 19th. Previously, Olympic Family Apartment passed the safety inspection in January this year, and Olympic Athlete Press Village Apartment passed in February.

The total number of households in these three complexes amounts to 11,390, with Olympic Family having 4,494 households, Olympic Athlete Press Village 5,540 households, and Asia Athlete Village 1,356 households.

Asia Athlete Village received a "conditional reconstruction" judgment in the first detailed safety inspection service result on the 31st of last month. Previously, if a conditional reconstruction judgment (grade D) was received, it was mandatory to undergo a public institution's appropriateness review. However, with the revision and implementation of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's safety inspection standards in January this year, the obligation for public institution appropriateness review was removed, and local governments can decide not to conduct the review if there are no particular defects.

Songpa-gu Office explained, "After discussions at the safety inspection advisory committee, reconstruction will proceed swiftly without the appropriateness review request procedure."

Songpa-gu has many large complexes that have been completed for over 30 to 40 years, but redevelopment projects had been delayed due to safety inspection regulations. Therefore, the district has continuously requested the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to ease the standards since last year.

This year, within Songpa-gu, a total of seven complexes, including the Olympic Trio, Garak Uchang (264 households), Hanyang 1st Complex (576 households), Pungnap Miseong (275 households), and Pungnap Geukdong (415 households), have passed the safety inspection and confirmed reconstruction.

Seo Gang-seok, the district mayor, said, "We will continue to closely cooperate with Seoul City and related ministries to promptly promote reconstruction projects and create a 'pleasant and livable premium city.'"
