The inspection will cover a total of ten locations: three sports facilities (an indoor swimming pool, Sangmu Golf Practice Range, and an indoor ice rink); three apartment complexes (Ssangchon Permanent Rental, Kumho Bityeoulchae, and Usan Bityeoulchae); two construction sites (the 3rd section of the High-Tech District 3 land development and Yeongnak Park Natural Burial Site); and two other multi-use facilities (Jeonil Building 245 and Hwanggeum Parking Lot).

The inspection period will run for two months, from April 20th to June 19th, 2026. The corporation plans to form a joint inspection team that includes external experts such as members of the Safety and Health Management Committee and the Citizen Safety Monitoring Group in order to ensure professionalism and objectivity.

Additionally, specialized equipment such as drones will be used to assess structural aging, and a comprehensive inspection will be conducted on electrical, fire, and gas facilities. Management will participate directly in these joint inspections. Any issues that can be resolved immediately at the site will be addressed on the spot, while facilities requiring repair or reinforcement will be improved by securing the necessary budget.

President Seungnam Kim stated, "It is the most fundamental responsibility of a public corporation to create an environment where citizens and workers can use facilities with peace of mind. Through this intensive inspection, which involves external experts, we aim to proactively eliminate disaster-prone factors."
