Gyeonggi Province and the city and county governments are currently taking administrative actions such as correction orders and imposing fines for non-compliance regarding these violations.

To eradicate illegal buildings, Gyeonggi Province conducts annual management evaluations and comprehensive assessments of illegal buildings targeting city and county governments. They are continuously proposing improvements to the government and the National Assembly, such as mandating the imposition of fines twice a year (currently up to twice a year at the discretion of city and county governments) and establishing penalty clauses for refusal or obstruction of illegal building surveys.

Lee Eun-seon, Director of the Architectural Design Division of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "We will continuously strive through inspections of illegal buildings, management evaluations of city and county governments, and proposals for system improvements to eradicate illegal buildings within the province," and added, "We will continue to manage densely crowded areas to ensure that illegal buildings do not pose a threat to the safety of residents."
