Frustration Over "Sour Kimchi Smell" in Apartment Hallway... "For No Less Than 8 Years"

Here is a story about someone experiencing inconvenience due to items left out in the hallway by an apartment neighbor.

What is going on?

In the apartment hallway, there are Styrofoam boxes, potted plants, and piles of clothes.

The netizen who uploaded these photos claimed that a neighbor on the same floor has been monopolizing the shared hallway with personal belongings for 8 years, causing repeated difficulties with passage.

The person vented that the neighbor even went so far as to leave leftover food out in the hallway.

Leaving items piled up in shared spaces such as apartment hallways and stairs can also be a legal issue.

According to Article 16 of the Fire Prevention Act, there is a regulation stating that items must not be piled up or obstacles installed around evacuation facilities and fire compartments.

Violating this can result in a fine of up to 3 million won.

Meanwhile, opinions suggest that the issue can be resolved through the management office.

According to Article 63 of the Multi-Family Housing Management Act, management entities are responsible for the maintenance, repair, and safety management of shared areas, and must prevent unauthorized occupation of shared facilities or take action against violations.

A mindset of considering neighbors first is needed.
