Busan Metropolitan City Establishes “2026 Comprehensive Plan for Multi-Family Housing Management”: Expanding a Residential Culture of Coexistence and Cooperation

내용

Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it has established and will implement the “2026 Comprehensive Plan for Multi-Family Housing Management” to prevent disputes and conflicts among residents and to establish a transparent and efficient management culture.

This plan was prepared to systematically manage housing issues closely related to citizens’ daily lives—such as eradicating corruption within multi-family housing, resolving inter-floor noise conflicts, and ensuring the safety of aging facilities—and to foster a harmonious residential community culture.

Under the vision of “expanding a residential community culture that grows through coexistence and cooperation,” the city will promote 12 detailed tasks centered on three core values: fair management and support, a communicative residential community, and safe housing.

First, the city will strengthen a “fair management system” to enhance transparency in multi-family housing management.

It will conduct special (targeted) audits to eradicate irregularities and corruption, shifting from detection-focused approaches to prevention-oriented audits that emphasize institutional improvement.

In addition, a “Maintenance Fee Reduction Care Support Group,” composed of 15 experts, will visit housing complexes to provide on-site consulting, while the “Proper Apartment Management Resident Academy” will further enhance the capabilities of resident representative meetings and management bodies.

Second, the city will work to reduce conflicts and build a harmonious “communicative residential community.”

The “Consultation Support Group,” consisting of 31 experts including lawyers and accountants, will be regularized to operate once a month, providing customized consultations across various fields such as legal, accounting, and inter-floor noise issues.

In particular, to address major causes of conflict such as inter-floor noise and secondhand smoke, the city will activate the “Inter-floor Noise Conflict Support Group” and encourage a culture of voluntary consideration by revising management regulation guidelines and strengthening the weighting of dispute resolution criteria in the selection of exemplary management complexes.

Third, the city will actively support the establishment of a “safe residential environment” where citizens can live with peace of mind.

A residential safety support project (budget: KRW 300 million) will be implemented for aging multi-family housing over 30 years old. In response to the recent increase in fire incidents, support will be expanded this year to include not only the repair of common areas in aging facilities but also fire safety installations.

In addition, the city plans to simultaneously enhance residential convenience and safety by subsidizing regular inspection costs for small-scale multi-family housing with limited financial capacity and by continuing projects to support the installation of parking facilities to address chronic parking shortages in aging complexes.

Mayor Park Heong-joon stated, “This year, the city will prioritize safety management in multi-family housing and shift its policy approach from post-incident detection to prevention.” He added, “We will focus on resolving issues that citizens directly experience—such as maintenance fees, inter-floor noise, and parking shortages—on-site, and will make Busan a city where safe housing and warm neighborly relations coexist.”
