While the government announced that it would allow apartments 30 years after completion to begin the reconstruction process without safety inspection, it was found that one out of four apartments in Seoul was completed more than 30 years ago.

According to the real estate R114 survey on the 14th, out of 1.827 million apartment households in Seoul, 503,000 households were older than 30 years, accounting for 27.5%. Nowon-gu (59%, 96,000 households) and Dobong-gu (57%, 36,000 households) accounted for the largest proportion of those aged 30 years, followed by Gangnam-gu (39%, 55,000 households) and Yangcheon-gu (37%, 30,000 households). 4,000 households) followed.

The number of 30-year-old apartments in Gyeonggi-do is 522,000, and excluding the first new town that can be subject to the Special Act on Planned Retirement Cities, Gwangmyeong (41%, 32,000 households) and Ansan (34%, 41,000 households) , there are many apartments that are over 30 years old in Suwon (41,000 households, 13.6%) and Pyeongtaek (21,000 households, 12.9%).

Incheon has 199,000 households, and 47% of 30-year-old apartments are concentrated in the metropolitan area. There are 1.99 million households (16%) nationwide.

As apartments are concentrated in the metropolitan area after 30 years, the ‘Urban Maintenance Act’ must be revised to allow reconstruction without safety inspection, as stated by the government. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport plans to submit the revised bill to the National Assembly next month.

However, with about two months left before the general election, it is unclear whether the bill revision will proceed properly. The housing law amendment submitted by the government in January last year to abolish the obligation to live in apartments subject to the sales price cap has not yet been processed.

Since the amendment is automatically repealed if it is not passed within two months of the 21st National Assembly session, there is criticism that the government’s current policy is a measure for the general elections in the metropolitan area.
