Suwon to Provide Free Installation of Detailed Address Guide Signs for One-Room and Multi-Unit Residences

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon City will carry out a project to provide free installation of "detailed address guide signs" for one-room and multi-unit residences through next month.

Support targets include approximately 8,700 households residing in one-room and multi-unit residences (approximately 1,400 residences) to which the city has directly assigned detailed road-based addresses by government authority.

For 222 buildings in Jang-an-gu, 782 in Gwonseon-gu, 305 in Paldal-gu, and 88 in Yeongdeungpo-gu, comprehensive guide signs displaying detailed addresses (building·floor·unit number) and individual unit number plates to be attached in front of individual unit doors will be provided free of charge.

Installation professionals will visit to install detailed address guide signs (comprehensive guide signs) below the building number plate at the building entrance and attach individual unit number plates for locations without unit number plates.

The city assigned road-based addresses to 122 street shops such as street vendors and shoe repair stands from the 6th to 8th of this month and provided support for building number plate installation.

Small business owners operating street shops have experienced inconvenience when receiving mail and packages due to the lack of road-based addresses.

Park Byung-gyu, Director of the Land Information Division of Suwon City, stated, "Installing detailed address guide signs will make locations easy to find. It will make receiving mail and packages more convenient and enable quick response in emergency situations," adding "We will actively support citizens in using road-based addresses easily and conveniently."

The "system of government authority assignment of detailed addresses" refers to a system in which the city directly surveys on-site and gathers opinions to assign detailed addresses (building·floor·unit number) by government authority without application from owners or tenants to one-room and multi-unit residences where building·floor·unit information is not recorded in the building registry and notifies the owners.
