Top 10 Neighbours from Hell

Here's an interesting read from Star Metro ( Nov 12, 2009 )

1. One who tears down or renovates a house without the necessary approvals from the local authority.

2. One who leaves the house abandoned and locked up for years, leading to mosquitoes and other pests breeding on the premises.

3. One who creates loud disturbances and noise at odd times like the wee hours of the morning when everyone else is sound asleep.

4. One who rents out the home to a huge bunch of tenants, and tenants who become a nuisance.

5. One who converts a house from its intended purpose of habitation into a commercial food business without approval and permission from neighbours.

6. One who screams and rages loudly at his/her family members, disturbing the peace and causing discomfort.

7. One who leaves his/her pets unsupervised and uncontrolled.

8. One who intrudes into the neighbour’s parking space and builds a garden that encroaches into a public road/kerb.

9. One who renovates his own portion of the house without discussing with the neighbour and leaving the neighbour’s joint section looking ugly and detached.

10. One who blatantly dumps rubbish into the neighbour’s space or drains without guilt or conscience.

This list was compiled based on complaints and letters written in to StarMetro.

Let's make sure we here at 3Greens do not fall into any of the categories above. Cheers!

I know this blog is not meant for us to voice our grouses but I believe that some of these "hellish neighbours" do exist in our community and perhaps we can use the "Meet the Residents" session on Sunday to remind our neighbours to be more responsible.

In any case I would like to highlight two grievances: #2 on the Star's top 10 list applies to Hse no << moderated >> 3/1F -- front and back gardens looking more like jungles with dried leaves clogging up the drains and who knows what breeding inside; #7 on the list -- the backlane between 3/1F and 3/1G seems to have become a cat haven, defecating everywhere and stealing food from kitchens.
