(브레이크뉴스 경기동북부)하인규 기자=서울특별시의회 도시안전건설위원회 김형재 의원(국민의힘, 강남2)은 제320회 임시회 도시안전건설위원회 소관 서울소방재난본부 업무보고에서 해체 예정인 빌딩에 대해 소방점검 실시 의무화를 위한 조례개정안을 주문했다고 지난 20일 밝혔다.

김 의원은 지난 8월 24일 강남구 역삼동 르메르디앙호텔에서 발생한 화재 사고를 언급하며 “폐업 중이었던 이 호텔은 강남구청에게 철거공사 허가를 받지 않은 상태로 철거를 하는 과정에서 발생한 화재로서, 대낮에 도심 한가운데서 검은 연기와 화염이 치솟아 시민들이 크게 놀랐던 사건”이라고 개탄했다. 또한 “사전 소방점검이 이루어지지 않았기 때문에 발생한 화재사고”라고 지적했다.

서울소방재난본부는 현행법에 따라 건축과 관련된 안전 규정은 이미 소방법에 규정되어 있으나, 해체(철거) 대상 빌딩이나 건물은 따로 규정되어 있지 않아 소방법의 규제나 점검대상이 아니라고 설명했다.

김 의원은 이에 대해 “다행히 폐업한 건물이라 인명피해는 없었지만, 해체(철거) 대상 건물 역시 소방 점검 대상에 포함되어야 한다”라며 “상위법인 관련 법률 개정을 국회에 건의해야 한다”라고 주장했다.

뿐만 아니라 “조례개정안을 통해 해체 예정 건물을 소방 점검 대상에 명시하거나, 관련 지침을 추가 신설하여 엄격히 준수하도록 하는 것이 필요하다”라고 강조하며, 해체 예정 빌딩의 소방점검 실시 의무화를 강화하기 위한 조례개정을 조속히 주문하고, 검토 후 의원발의로 상정하겠다고 밝혔다.

(Break News Northeast Gyeonggi) = Representative Kim Hyeong-jae (People Power, Gangnam 2) of the Urban Safety Construction Committee of the Seoul Metropolitan Council mandated fire inspections for buildings scheduled to be dismantled in a work report from the Seoul Fire and Disaster Headquarters under the jurisdiction of the 320th extraordinary session of the Urban Safety Construction Committee. It was announced on the 20th that it had ordered an ordinance amendment for .

Referring to the fire accident that occurred at the Le Meridien Hotel in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu on August 24, Rep. Kim said, “The fire occurred during the demolition of this hotel, which was being closed, without obtaining demolition work permission from the Gangnam-gu Office, and it was located in the city center in broad daylight. He lamented, “It was an incident that shocked citizens as black smoke and flames rose from the center.” He also pointed out that “this was a fire accident that occurred because no prior fire inspection was conducted.”

The Seoul Fire and Disaster Headquarters explained that, according to the current law, safety regulations related to construction are already stipulated in the Fire Act, but buildings or buildings subject to dismantling (demolition) are not separately regulated and are not subject to regulation or inspection by the Fire Act.

Regarding this, Rep. Kim said, “Fortunately, there were no casualties because it was a closed building, but buildings subject to dismantlement (demolition) should also be included in the fire inspection,” and argued, “We must recommend to the National Assembly the revision of laws related to higher-level corporations.”

In addition, he emphasized, “It is necessary to specify buildings scheduled for demolition as subject to fire inspection through an ordinance amendment, or establish additional related guidelines to ensure strict compliance,” and revised the ordinance to strengthen the mandatory conduct of fire inspection for buildings scheduled for demolition. He announced that he would place an order as soon as possible and submit it to the National Assembly as a motion after review.
