A large amount of mold was found in the built-in furniture in the new apartment in Gimpo, Gyeonggi Province, and residents asked the construction company to replace it.
According to the residents of this apartment today (31st), complaints about a large amount of mold growing inside the built-in furniture from last month when the move-in began in a new apartment in Gimpo-si are continuing.
Mold was found in the process of inhabitants putting in furniture such as refrigerators, and it is reported that it has grown on many built-in furniture such as kitchens and master rooms.
This apartment is known to have been occupied by 701 units of 89∼112㎡.
It has been estimated that up to 400 households have suffered mold damage to date.
Residents are in the position that the construction company is responsible for replacing the built-in furniture entirely.
Resident A explained the situation, saying, "I was surprised to see too much mold inside the built-in furniture."
In addition, he said, "The mold is because the construction company used the wrong material or did not manage it properly," he said.
As civil complaints arose, construction companies are conducting a thorough investigation to identify the victims.
However, it is showing a passive attitude to the demand for replacement of built-in furniture.
A construction company official said, "It was investigated that the mold grew on the built-in furniture materials as the rainy season last year increased." I will review it."
