Gwonseon-gu Conducts On-site Survey of Buildings Detected by Aerial Measurement

Gwonseon-gu in Suwon announced on the 13th that it will conduct on-site surveys of buildings flagged by aerial measurement as having undergone structural changes.

Buildings detected by aerial measurement refer to structures whose floor area has increased when comparing aerial photographs from different years, and on-site surveys are conducted to verify whether they are illegal.

Should on-site surveys confirm illegal construction, owners must demolish the illegally constructed building during the voluntary compliance period (typically three months). Failure to comply will result in referral to judicial authorities, as well as administrative penalties including enforcement surcharges.

A district official stated, "We conduct enforcement actions against illegal buildings through annual aerial measurements, but illegal activities have not been completely eliminated. We plan to strengthen administrative penalties and take a firm stance against such violations."
