Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Takes Disciplinary Actions on 110 Cases Following Inspections of 8 Nationwide Maintenance Project Associations

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 27th that it detected a total of 110 cases of non-compliance during inspections of 8 maintenance project associations conducted jointly with local governments in the first half of the year, and plans to request investigations for 15 of these cases.

The maintenance project sites detected this time are 2 in Seoul, 2 in Busan, 1 in Daegu, 2 in Ulsan, and 1 in Chungbuk.

To ensure transparent operation of maintenance projects, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has formed a joint inspection team with local governments, Korea Real Estate Board, lawyers, accountants, and others to conduct regular on-site inspections of the overall operation status of associations every year.

As a result of the inspection of 8 associations in the first half of the year, a total of 110 cases were detected, of which 15 cases will be requested for investigation, 20 cases received correction orders, 2 cases were subject to recovery measures, and 73 cases were administrative guidance matters.

The main cases requested for investigation include matters where contracts were concluded exceeding the budget approved at the general meeting or without approval, cases where companies not registered as specialized maintenance project management firms performed general meeting proxy tasks, and cases where associations did not disclose or delayed disclosure of materials related to the implementation of maintenance projects.

In addition, correction orders and other measures were taken for cases such as unclear accounting of various budgets or operation of association bylaws in violation of related laws.

Kim Hyo-jung, Director of Housing Policy at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said, "Since transparent operation of associations is a crucial issue directly related to the prompt promotion of maintenance projects and prevention of damage to association members, we will strengthen management and supervision of associations by conducting joint inspections twice a year, in the first and second halves of this year."
