The city of Guri, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun) announced on the 24th that the Hansung 1st Apartment in Gyomun-dong, which was completed in 1990 and has passed 34 years, received an 'E grade' in a detailed safety inspection conducted by a professional institution, the Korea Construction Quality Research Institute, making reconstruction possible.


Hansung 1st Apartment in Gyomun-dong had a preliminary safety inspection result of grade D from experts following a request for a safety inspection by the residents' representative meeting to the city in March 2022, indicating the need for a detailed safety inspection. Accordingly, the city enacted the 'Guri City Urban and Residential Environment Maintenance Fund Ordinance' last year and established the 'Guri City Urban and Residential Environment Maintenance Fund' to alleviate the financial burden on citizens and carry out the detailed safety inspection.


Hansung 1st Apartment consists of 16 buildings, 5 floors, and 490 households. It was completed in December 1990 and is a multi-family housing complex that has passed 34 years. At the time of construction, it was built with a PC (Pre-cast Concrete) wall structure, and after more than 30 years, visible deformation of the front and rear balconies causing leakage and exposure of rebar could be confirmed with the naked eye.


Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun of Guri said, “A breakthrough has been made for the reconstruction of the aging Hansung 1st Apartment, and the nearby Doosan Apartment is in a similar situation. From last month until December, a reconstruction safety inspection service is being conducted.” He added, “We will actively promote administrative support to improve the residential environment for the residents.”



Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that there are 11 aged multi-family housing apartments in Guri City that have passed more than 30 years.
