Gyeonggi-do to Promote 'Residential Environment Improvement' for Over 350 Aging Apartment Complexes This Year

Gyeonggi Provincial Government

Gyeonggi Province will promote residential environment improvement projects for more than 350 aging apartment complexes this year.

On the 3rd, Gyeonggi Province announced that it has secured a budget of 9.8 billion KRW for common facility repair costs, the same as last year, to improve the poor residential environment of aging apartment complexes such as old elevators.

Gyeonggi Province plans to support the improvement of aging facilities in at least 240 complexes and up to 350 complexes this year.

In particular, this year, in addition to supporting common facility repair costs, the province will also support the installation costs of air conditioners in security offices without air conditioning to improve the treatment of apartment management workers. The maximum support amount per security office is 600,000 KRW.

The support target for common facility repair costs is apartment complexes that have been completed for more than 15 years. The air conditioner installation cost support for security offices can be applied for by apartment complexes where air conditioners are not installed in the security office. For detailed information such as application methods, please contact the housing or architecture department of the relevant city or county.

From 2019 to 2022, Gyeonggi Province supported common facility repair costs for 1,082 apartment complexes with fewer than 300 households that are non-mandatory management targets and have been completed for more than 15 years. Since last year, the support target has been expanded to include elevator repair and replacement for mandatory management apartment complexes.

Park Jong-geun, head of the Apartment Housing Division of Gyeonggi Province, said, "As a result of last year's project promotion, we supported 378 complexes, which is 159 more than the initial target of 219." He added, "In a survey of residents in beneficiary complexes, 92% responded that they were satisfied. We will continue to strive not only to improve the residential environment for residents but also to improve the treatment of management workers."
