‘Hyosung Harrington Place’ in Auto Valley

Two locations selected: ‘World Meridian’ by Gulhwa Riverside

Which apartment complexes in Ulsan have high resident satisfaction due to transparent management fee expenditures?


‘Hyosung Harrington Place’ in Buk-gu Otovalley and ‘Gulhwagangbyeon World Meridian’ apartments in Ulju-gun have been selected as exemplary apartment management complexes this year.


Since 2012, Ulsan City has been selecting exemplary management complexes to discover and widely promote best practices aimed at improving residents' quality of life and fostering community revitalization among apartments subject to mandatory management.


An apartment subject to mandatory management refers to a multi-unit housing complex with 300 or more households, a complex with 150 or more households equipped with elevators, a complex with 150 or more households using centralized heating, or a building constructed under Article 11 of the Building Act that combines residential and non-residential facilities with 150 or more households.


Data on management status from July last year to June this year was collected by August, and after document review and on-site inspections by the selection committee, two complexes were chosen as exemplary management complexes this year.


The selection committee evaluated 36 items across four categories: general management (such as transparent management fee operations), facility safety and maintenance, community revitalization (such as voluntary resident participation), and recycling and energy saving.


The two selected apartments were found to transparently disclose various information and actively gather residents' opinions in decisions regarding income and expenditure of management fees.


They also received positive evaluations for reducing management fees through systematic management, operating libraries via self-governing organizations, running community village schools, and conducting substantial activities for residents' leisure and harmony.


Regarding smoking and noise between floors, promotional activities targeting residents and active efforts to mediate and resolve disputes among residents were confirmed.


Ulsan City plans to recommend these two complexes for the excellent management complex selection by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. The selection results will be announced in December after review.



An official from Ulsan City stated, “Compared to previous years’ application data, we confirmed that the activities and management by apartment residents' representative meetings and management offices have become more systematic. We will strive to enhance residents' housing satisfaction and continuously spread community culture.”
