Signs of division after application for pre-consulting in October last year
“Gangnam, high project cost, unsuitable for public-led housing supply”
[인사이트코리아=이하영 기자] The reconstruction project of Jamsil Jugong Complex 5 is being swept away by public policy, and the conflict within the union is intensifying.
According to the Songpa Police Station on the 5th, the police seized and searched the union office on the 22nd of last month for allegations of fraud at the senior general meeting of the reconstruction cooperative and officers and delegates of Jamsil Jugong Complex 5 located in Jamsil-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul, and bribery of business partners.
It is known that the’joint representative of the dismissal proponents meeting’ requesting the dismissal of the current union president has made a problem with the cost before the general meeting in the maintenance plan change service. In this regard, a union official said, “The police took only the necessary documents (in seizure and search),” and said, “Since the police took the data, we will judge it and let you know.”
Apply for pre-consulting for public reconstruction… The beginning of the union division
Conflict within the union arose when it was revealed in early October last year that Jamsil Jugong Complex 5 applied for preliminary consulting for public reconstruction. This is because it was revealed that the president of the cooperative promoted preliminary consulting for public reconstruction without permission.
Members of the union made a voice of criticism toward the union leader, saying that if public reconstruction proceeds, it would be a’chicken coop apartment’ with poor residential comfort. In mid-January this year, a meeting was formed to propose dismissal of the union president.
The members said, “We are going to force the general assembly vote in February without any prior explanation or discussion on the direction of high-density reconstruction, which is no different from the public,” and argued that “the only way to prevent the surprise general meeting is to hold a general meeting for dismissal of the union president.” .
In relation to the pre-consulting, the relationship between the union and its members seems to have deteriorated, which even triggered a seizure search. As there was no progress in the reconstruction project of Jamsil Jugong Complex 5, it was confirmed that this complex maintenance company, selected in 2014, also withdrew its manpower in the second half of last year.
Aftermath of the 2‧4 measures… Unions, re-divided into public and private
In the recent February 4 real estate countermeasures, when the government announced that carrying out reconstruction projects led by the public will bring various benefits, the union is again dividing into public and private fights. The government announced that it would supply about 320,000 units in Seoul without designating a district. If the reconstruction is carried out publicly, the licensing period can be extended, and the excess profit burden for reconstruction is also exempted.
In addition, as one of the measures taken on June 17 last year, the two-year mandatory residence, which put a heavy burden on the reconstruction members, will not be applied. The two-year compulsory residency is an item that is not subject to damage to the reconstruction project, which is attractive to members.
However, it is pointed out that it is correct to exclude the reconstruction of Gangnam when considering the purpose of the government’s housing supply measures. This is because the goal of the February 4th measure is to provide housing to many citizens at a fast and reasonable price, led by the public.
The problem is that the land prices of Jamsil Jugong Complex 5 and Eunma Apartment, which the government had in mind for public reconstruction, are all high. An official in the maintenance industry argues that if the land price is high, the cost of the project will naturally increase.
An official in the maintenance industry said, “Even if you create an opportunity to enter billions of apartments that the common people cannot buy, it is just a cake for people who cannot get loans and don’t have cash.” It was feared that it would only adversely affect the concentration of the wealthy, such as’non-random resupply of contract cancellation supplies.’
He also pointed out that “the government needs to properly grasp the intention of supplying housing to the common people, not just for supply.”
