Gyeonggi Province Prepares Management Manual and Guide for Multi-Unit Buildings Including Officetel and Commercial Complexes

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province has published a management manual and guide for multi-unit buildings such as offitels and commercial complexes that can serve as a guide to resolving difficult grievances in managing these properties.

The multi-unit building management manual and guide is the result of a research project commissioned by Gyeonggi Province last year on "Establishing Measures to Improve Multi-Unit Building Management in Gyeonggi Province." It comprises practical and comprehensive information that residents and managers can refer to when they have questions about multi-unit building management and in case of disputes.

The manual includes illustrative explanations to enhance understanding of multi-unit building management, management dispute solutions (Q&A;), explanations of the Multi-Unit Buildings Act and terminology, court precedents, and other necessary information for organizing and operating management bodies. It also includes management guides organized by case examples of management issues, making it easy to use at any time.

The multi-unit building management manual and guide will be distributed to municipal and county departments and organizations related to multi-unit buildings. It will also be posted on the Gyeonggi Province website (www.gg.go.kr) and Gyeonggi Province eBook (ebook.gg.go.kr) for active utilization.

Additionally, to prevent multi-unit building management disputes in advance, the province has established a Multi-Unit Building Management Support Team and has been providing on-site free consultation services since March last year to residents and managers experiencing difficulties in multi-unit building management.

As social distancing levels were raised due to COVID-19, on-site consultation visits are difficult, so the province is now conducting non-face-to-face consultations via video calls and phone calls.

Hong Ji-seon, Director of Urban Housing at Gyeonggi Province, said, "We expect this multi-unit building management manual and guide to be of great help in managing multi-unit buildings and preventing disputes," and added, "Gyeonggi Province will continue to develop various policies and seek improvement measures so that residents do not face difficulties in multi-unit building management."
