Gwangmyeong City "Get Safety Inspections for Aging Buildings"

Targeting Small-Scale Living Facilities Such as Senior Citizen Centers and Village Halls

Gwangmyeong City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 12th that it will operate a 'Resident Inspection Application System' targeting small-scale aging buildings to eliminate blind spots in safety management.

This system operates by having experts inspect facilities that residents deem necessary for inspection. The inspection targets are facilities at risk of disasters or safety accidents or those with weakened ground during the thawing period.

The main inspection facilities include small-scale, closely related public and private living facilities such as village halls, senior citizen centers, bridges, landslide-prone areas, and aging buildings. However, facilities with managers, those under construction or involved in lawsuits/disputes, and those undergoing statutory inspections are excluded.

Building owners or management entities wishing to request an inspection can visit the local administrative welfare center or apply through the Safety Report website by the 30th of next month. Facilities confirmed for inspection will be individually notified to the applicants.

Selected facilities will be inspected by experts by June 13, and the results will be communicated to the applicants and facility management entities. Lee Sang-jin, head of Gwangmyeong City's Safety General Division, said, "This is an opportunity for citizens to propose and inspect facilities they consider dangerous themselves," adding, "We hope many citizens participate and join in creating a safe living environment."
