Dobong District Approves Reconstruction Promotion Committees for Changdong Jugong Complexes 4 and 19

District’s “Pre-Review of Consent Forms” System Shortens Approval Timeline

Changdong Jugong Complex 4 and Complex 19 in Dobong District, Seoul (headed by District Chief Kim Dongwook) have received approval for the establishment of their reconstruction association promotion committees, following Changdong Jugong Complex 18. For both complexes, this marks the first administrative step after passing the safety inspection for reconstruction.

According to the district on September 29, Changdong Jugong Complex 4 applied for approval to form a promotion committee on August 31 after receiving consent from 58% of 1,712 landowners, and the approval was granted 14 days later, on September 14. This complex passed the safety inspection in April 2024. Changdong Jugong Complex 19 applied for approval on September 15 this month with consent from 56% of 1,756 owners, receiving approval 7 days later on September 22. Its safety inspection was passed in September 2023.

The rapid approval was enabled by the district's 'pre-review of consent forms' system. The review of resident consent forms is typically the most time-consuming part of the redevelopment and reconstruction administrative process, often taking several weeks for large-scale complexes with over 1,000 households. The district shortened the review period by preliminarily reviewing a portion of the consent forms in advance and then examining the remainder once the legal consent threshold was met.

Additionally, a recent amendment to the law now allows both the designation of a maintenance area and the association formation process to proceed simultaneously, further accelerating progress. Previously, the procedure to form a promotion committee could only begin after a maintenance area was designated. Both complexes are currently undergoing the Seoul Metropolitan Government's expedited integrated planning advisory process, aiming to submit their maintenance plans within this year.

Changdong Jugong Apartments comprise seven complexes with approximately 10,000 households, established during the development of the Changdong housing district in the 1980s. Earlier, in August, Changdong Jugong Complex 18 became the first to receive approval for its promotion committee within the district unit plan area of the Changdong/Sanggye Housing Development District.

District Chief Kim Dongwook stated, "I hope the smooth progress of the reconstruction of Changdong Jugong Apartment complexes will play a major role in the development of the Changdong area."
