Sour Kimchi Smell in Apartment Hallway... Frustration Lasts for "A Staggering 8 Years"

We have a story about a resident experiencing inconvenience due to items left in the apartment hallway by a 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 monopolized the shared hallway with personal belongings, causing inconvenience for 8 years, with repeated instances where passing through became difficult.

The resident even complained that leftover food was left out in the hallway.

Leaving items 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 prohibiting the placement of items or installation of obstacles 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 one's neighbors first is needed.
