Daejeon City “Do not report while tearing off beams and walls”
Daejeon City, where 90-year-old juniper trees were removed without permission, was controversial this time in violation of the Building Law. This is because key structures such as beams and walls were removed for remodeling of the building, but they did not go through consultations with the local government.

According to Daejeon City and Chungnam Province, Daejeon City has been promoting a’communication cooperation space’ project for the former Chungnam Provincial Office building in Seonhwa-dong, Jung-gu since June last year. The main content of the communication cooperation space project is to remodel the old Chungnam-do government office buildings such as Mugigo-dong, Seongwanwi-dong, and Post Office-dong.
The social capital support center and social innovation center will be located here, and a shared kitchen, cafe, and gallery will be installed. The project cost is 12.35 billion won. The facility cost is 6.35 billion won, and the remaining 6 billion won is the program operation cost. Daejeon City explained, “The communication and cooperation space is a place where citizens directly participate and discover ideas to solve local problems.”

For remodeling, Daejeon City actually did major repair work to tear down the inside of the building attached to the Chungnam Provincial Office. Major repair refers to repairing, changing, or expanding the structure or exterior shape of pillars, beams, bearing walls, and main stairs of a building. To make major repairs, you must obtain permission from the head of the competent ward in accordance with the Building Act (Article 11, etc.). It was confirmed that Daejeon City did not follow procedures such as reporting to the head of Jung-gu.

An official in Jung-gu, Daejeon said, “The remodeling of the NEC and the post office building corresponds to a major repair work to remove beams and walls,” he said. “Daejeon did not have any prior consultations with Jung-gu.” The official added, “Chungnam Province has ordered the damaged buildings to be restored to its original state, so I will watch it first.”
Regarding this, an official from Daejeon City said, “I didn’t know if the remodeling work should be reported to Jung-gu,” and said, “It is impossible to restore the original state due to damage to the building.” The official said, “We conducted seismic performance evaluation for remodeled buildings for two months from April last year.” As a result, steel structures were separately installed in consideration of safety issues, and additional budgets were required as facilities reinforcement was needed more than the original design.

The building beams and walls are demolished.
In fact, on the 21st, when I went to the construction site of the communication cooperation space construction project, the two-story post office and the arsenal had all the wooden beams cut off. After the window frame was torn off, iron pillars were installed. The arsenal also demolished the stairs leading to the second floor. The exterior walls of the building were cracked in several places, and the bricks fell in places. From the roof, some tiles seemed to fall off.
Most of the inner walls and beams of the NEC building were demolished. A steel structure was installed on the ceiling of the NEC building. These buildings are said to have been built in 1966. Lee Mo, an architectural designer who toured the site with a reporter, said, “I can see traces of unreasonable construction work everywhere,” and said, “If a public, not an administrative agency, did such a construction, it is an issue that should be taken immediately.”

These buildings are also controversial for conservation. On the information board attached to the post office building by Daejeon City, “It is characterized by a vertically elongated window and a Japanese-style roof tile. Inside the 2nd floor, there is a Japanese-style tokonoma (tatami room decoration space) and a wooden banja (a structure that makes the room floor ceiling flat), which shows the characteristics of Japanese houses.”
The walls of the building above the former Chungnam-do government office were torn down, and a steel structure was installed on the roof. Construction experts feared, “If you do such a large-scale construction, there will be safety problems.” Freelancer Kim Seong-tae
“The post office building that has been built more than 50 years ago can provide a glimpse of the old architectural style,” said Lee, an architect of the architecture. Along with this, the arsenal was built in 1932 along with the Chungnam Provincial Government Building. An official from Chungnam Province said, “The Mugigo is a symbolic structure with the history of the Chungnam Provincial Office.” The Seongwanwi building is connected to the Chungnam Provincial Government Building. On the 22nd, Chungnam-do conducts due diligence on the site of the communication cooperation space creation project.
In addition, it was confirmed that some of the juniper trees that Daejeon City relocated from the site of the former Chungnam Provincial Office were dry and dead. One landscaper said, “If juniper trees are transplanted in a humid place like a paddy field, it is difficult to grow properly.” Daejeon City cut 128 juniper trees in the provincial government office and disposed of them, and 44 were relocated to the nursery in Gwanghwa-dong, Yuseong-gu. It turned out that Daejeon City also removed some 90-year-old ginkgo and cedar trees in the Chungnam-do government office.

Regarding this, Daejeon Jung-gu Council Chairman Kim Yeon-su argued that “while creating a communication and cooperation space, there was no communication with citizens or related organizations at all,” and “Daejeon should apologize and reprimand the person in charge.”
The Power of the People The Daejeon City Party accused Dae-Jung Heo and the director of the communication and cooperation space creation project with the mayor of Daejeon on charges of damage to public property, abandonment of work, and violation of the construction law. The People’s Power stated in the complaint that “while carrying out the construction to prepare a space for communication cooperation, we removed juniper trees, which are common items, and remodeled the building without the approval of Chungnam Province, the owner of the government office, and did not implement procedures such as reporting from the competent authority.”
