Hwaseong-si Operates 'Visiting Temporary Building Extension Report Reception Desk'

Starting Next Month, Administrative Welfare Centers in Bongdam, Hyangnam, Ujeong, and Mado Will Conduct Tours

Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province will operate a 'Visiting Temporary Building Extension Report Reception Desk' starting in April to alleviate citizen inconveniences.

The city explained that this initiative aims to resolve the inconvenience for residents in the southwestern region who have to travel long distances to visit the city hall every three years to report temporary building extensions, and to enhance administrative processing convenience.

Accordingly, officials from the Building Permit Division will visit four major administrative welfare centers in Bongdam-eup, Hyangnam-eup, Ujeong-eup, and Mado-myeon once a month to handle temporary building extension reports and consultations. In April, the mobile reception desk will operate in the order of Bongdam-eup on the 16th, Hyangnam-eup on the 17th, Ujeong-eup on the 18th, and Mado-myeon on the 19th.

The city plans to include the dates of the reception desk operation for each eup and myeon in the notice of expiration of the retention period, which is sent by mail every month to those subject to temporary building extension reporting.

Previously, the city completed a pilot operation of the reception desk at six eup and myeon administrative welfare centers over two months starting last month.

Nam-yong Noh, head of the Hwaseong City Building Permit Division, said, "During the pilot operation period of this service, accessibility to civil complaint processing improved, resulting in high citizen satisfaction," adding, "We will continue to identify and improve inconveniences experienced by citizens during the permit process."
