\nThe plants are feared by one neighbour to be a major fire threat.
\nPassing through the eighth-storey HDB corridor of Block 101 in Pasir Ris may prove to be an arduous task as a flat owner has filled the area with potted plants.
\nWith the corridor dark and shadowy, a neighbour posted her complaint on Stomp last week saying that the plants \u2013 which are located near the block\u2019s two staircases \u2013 are a fire hazard.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s a fire hazard, the walkway is very narrow, and the escape route in the event of an emergency is blocked,\u201d said the neighbour.
\nShe revealed that the plants have been in the area since she moved into her unit 11 years ago.
\nMeanwhile, neighbours that The New Paper spoke to shared that they are not inconvenienced by the plants.
\nA next-door neighbour said he is friendly with the middle-aged woman who owns the plants.
\n\u201cShe maintains the plants, and they don\u2019t grow into my area,\u201d noted the 20-year-old neighbour, who wanted to be identified only as Mr HQ.
\nNonetheless, he acknowledged that the plants may be a hazard in case of an emergency and may prove to be a hassle when moving past if he is carrying large objects.
\nAnother neighbour said she has no issue with the plants since she does not use the stairs much.
\nA Pasir Ris-Punggol Town Council spokesman revealed that the resident concerned had been advised by the town council on several occasions to refrain from putting too many items or potted plants in the common area, reported The New Paper.
\nUpon receiving the advisories, the owner removed some of the items and potted plants along the corridor and staircase landing, said the spokesman.
\nThe spokesman added that the town council takes a serious stance on obstruction within the common areas as they prevent the use of such areas.
\nSuch obstructions may also be fire hazards and could hamper evacuation in case of emergencies.
