Here is a story of a resident suffering inconvenience because of items left in the corridor by a neighbor.

What is going on?

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

The netizen who posted these photos claimed that they have suffered inconvenience for eight years as a neighbor on the same floor has occupied the shared corridor with personal belongings, making it difficult to pass through on a repeated basis.

They even vented that leftover food had been left out in the hallway.

Piling up items in shared spaces such as apartment corridors and stairs can also be a legal issue.

According to Article 16 of the Fire Prevention Act, there is a regulation prohibiting the accumulation 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 measures against violations.

A mindset of considering neighbors first is needed.
