A Bedok North resident is concerned about a neighbour\u2019s hoarding behaviour, which he feels is both an inconvenience and a safety hazard.<\/p>\n
Stomper R<\/strong> said the situation at Block 429A Bedok North Road has worsened since January.<\/p>\n The Stomper claims his seventh-floor neighbour, who is believed to be in his 60s, has been collecting items and rubbish from bins around the estate, filling both the unit and the corridor outside.<\/p>\n Photos shared by the Stomper show bulky items such as cabinets, trolleys, containers and other belongings placed along the common corridor, leaving a narrow walkway.<\/p>\n The Stomper, whose unit is located at the end of the corridor, said he and his family have to pass by the neighbour\u2019s home.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a fire hazard,\u201d he said. \u201cMy family is very stressed and it affects our mental health. Don\u2019t tell me to wait until something bad happens.\u201d<\/p>\n The Stomper reported the issue via OneService in February.<\/p>\n He added that volunteers had previously helped clear items inside and outside the unit, but the clutter has since returned.<\/p>\n In response to a Stomp query, East Coast Town Council (ECTC) said on March 17 it takes feedback on fire safety and corridor obstruction seriously and has been actively managing the case.<\/p>\n The town council cleared the resident\u2019s unit with community volunteers in December 2025, said an ECTC spokesperson, adding: \u201cOur officers have since been conducting regular checks and clearing of both the unit and common areas, including on Feb 24.\u201d<\/p>\n The unit remains under \u201cactive monitoring\u201d by property officers. The resident is also receiving social and medical support from relevant agencies.<\/p>\n \u201cWe understand the concerns of affected neighbours and will continue to take the necessary steps to ensure their safety and comfort,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n This is not the first time concerns have been raised about clutter at the block. <\/p>\n In December 2025, residents of Block 429A Bedok North Road told Shin Min Daily News that an elderly man had been filling the seventh-storey corridor and even placing items in supermarket trolleys at the void deck<\/a>.<\/p>\n Have something to say?
