INSANE NEIGHBOUR HANGS ROTTEN FOOD TO HARASS MAN & SPRAYS PESTICIDE AT HIS HOME

What to do with petty nuisance neighbour playing mind games with us?

It’s a rental blk with units facing each other. His house is in front of ours. Had reported him for his hoarding along the corridor as our clothes got stuck on his items a few times while walking past and it’s hard to even push a bicycle past his items. I know in these kinds of living environment, we should practice tolerance and I did sit on it and spoke to him nicely before but to no avail. Lots of excuses from him about keeping his things.

Recently, town council finally removed his things along the corridor. He managed to get some of it back to put back along the corridor. Now every morning he puts out a container of rotten food to make the corridor smell so that I can’t open my doors for some air. Every evening when he comes back from his ice-cream selling job, he will spray pesticide towards our door from his home. All these every single day without fail. Town council can’t do much as usual and CDRT is the last resort. Does anyone know any other steps take?

Before anyone comments get a new house, yes my wife and I are looking in the market for one now but we’ll still be here awhile.

Netizens’ comments

1. Read enough of these cases to know that complaining to authorities isn’t helpful.
2. Sorry to hear of having to live with such idiots.
   Based on your description. he has broken the SCDF fire safety rule of having to maintain a 1.2m clearance along common corridors
   I don’t know if SCDF will respond but you can try contacting them. Actually I feel town council should look into this as they have to take some responsibility for any fire within HDBs.
3. Putting rotten food will attract pests. Report to NEA.
4. Nothing much can be done. I lived beside an insane neighbour famous for noise pollution, every unit in the area reported also no use.
5. Put a giant fan outside and blow it back.
   Best way forward probably trial by social media. Document all his actions date, time stamp, document all in action of complains from various agencies, then once enough flood all social media with it. High chance of action the next day
