Gyeonggi-do Expands Apartment Management Support Advisory Group to 80 Members

Gyeonggi Provincial Government

Gyeonggi Province is increasing the number of members in the ‘Apartment Management Support Advisory Group’ from 50 to 80.

The Apartment Management Support Advisory Group is an organization composed of private experts from 13 fields, including lawyers, accountants, labor consultants, and engineers.

The advisory group has been conducting customized advisory activities covering all aspects of apartment management, such as housing management administration, accounting management, long-term repair, and safety management, by visiting complexes together with Gyeonggi Province. It started as a pilot project in 2020, and its basis for operation was established with the enactment of the ‘Gyeonggi Province Apartment Management Support Advisory Group Establishment and Operation Ordinance’ in 2022. As of June this year, it has provided 108 field-specific consultations for 84 complexes.

In April, Gyeonggi Province expanded the eligibility to apply for management support advisory services from the resident representative meetings and residents numbering 10 or more to include ‘management office managers,’ reflecting the opinion that management office managers who directly perform apartment management tasks should also have the right to request advisory services.

Park Jong-geun, head of the Apartment Division of Gyeonggi Province, explained, "We expanded the advisory group from 50 to 80 members to actively respond to safety accidents and disputes caused by poor long-term repair plans and underfunding of long-term repair reserves, which have recently become problematic."
