Not a single basement … The first floor of an apartment building ahead.

“Is this crawl space? Is it the first floor?

Lee Mo (35), who won the ‘Godukgangil Complex 14’ in Sangil-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, and waited only for the move-in date, couldn’t hide his feelings of shame as he looked around the recently won apartment in the first floor. In private apartments in general, the first floor apartment is built where the parking lot or the pilot structure should be. Since the soil and houses do not fall apart, rainwater and snow can overflow and are also vulnerable to insects. He said, “Isn’t there a step that keeps at least the distance between the first floor apartment and the ground?” He said. The trees are planted right in front of the apartment on the first floor, which can infringe the right of the sunlight. The distance between the porch window and the trees is less than 1 m.

The ‘Godukgangil Complex 14’, which was announced by the Seoul Urban and Housing Corporation (SH Corporation) in June, is an apartment complex with 943 homes built in the 38 area of ​​Sangil-dong. Among them, 411 homes come out as general sales, and the rest are ‘Social Mix’ apartments consisting of happiness housing and rent. He is scheduled to move in February of next year. The pre-sale price was 73% of the price of the same type of house in the ‘Gangil River Park’ in the vicinity of Gangil-dong, so competition among end users was fierce. The selling price for this complex was set at 494.58 million won for a 59-square-meter dedicated housing type and 466.69 million won for a dedicated 49-square-meter dwelling. The first floor was 20 to 30 million won lower than the one in the same complex, but the layout attached to the floor raises concern among residents. One of the tenants said: “I chose the first floor for the children and I won the award, but I regretted the design.

According to an online community made up of residents, it was pointed out that there was a problem with the internal structure of the complex. It is explained that the space for the outdoor unit of the air conditioner becomes smaller than the design. One resident said: “The government and the ruling party say that rental housing or public housing apartments are only as good as apartments built by private construction companies, so I want to tell them to live.” This is not the first time residents have been unhappy with the apartment’s layout in the Gangil district of Godeok. The first floor of the ‘Godukgangil Complex 7’, which SH Corporation announced on the 11th of last month, was attached to individual entrance doors and pathways like an engine room, prompting complaints from residents. Because there is no fence or fence to block outsiders, you are vulnerable to crimes such as lost package delivery and theft.
