Ask Experts About Officetel and Commercial Building Management Issues

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province announced on the 13th that it operates a 'Collective Building Management Support Team' in which experts visit collective buildings such as offitels and commercial buildings directly to provide consultation on management issues.

The Collective Building Management Support Team is composed of 30 experts across five fields with on-site experience in law, accounting, office management, facility safety, and labor affairs.
The support team will visit sites and provide assistance with management fee-related budgets and accounting, drafting management regulations, procedures for summoning management committees, building management methods, and employment contracts.

Service applicants are offitels, commercial buildings, and multi-unit housing with fewer than 150 units subject to the 'Collective Buildings Act,' and the application can be made by building managers, individual owners, or occupants of collective buildings. However, when applying as an individual owner or occupant, a consent document from at least one-tenth of individual owners or occupants is required.

To apply, download the application form from the Gyeonggi Province website (homepage) notice section and transmit it by fax (031-8008-3479) or submit by mail (Architecture and Design Division, Gyeonggi Province Government, 1 Hyowon-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi Province).

Kim Jun-tae, Director of Urban and Housing Affairs at Gyeonggi Province, said, "By providing expert on-site consultation services so that residents and others can directly select managers and establish regulations, we expect it will help ensure transparent collection of management fees and prevent disputes."
