Ilsandong-gu completed inspections of 121 multi-family housing complexes in preparation for the rainy season.

In response to the increasing frequency of localized heavy rain due to climate change and recent cases of underground parking lot flooding, the inspections focused on the safety of drainage facilities, underground flood prevention systems, and auxiliary facilities such as walls and retaining walls.

No significant structural damage or risk of collapse was found as a result of the inspections. For any items that were missed during the inspections, the management entities were requested to re-check and take supplementary measures.

An official from Ilsandong-gu stated, "We will continue regular inspections to create a residential environment where citizens can live with peace of mind."
