Shoe rack along Corridor

[Kelpie]

Hi all,

 

1. For the HDB dweller, do you put your shoe rack just outside your door or along the corridor? Is installing customized shoe rack just outside your door an illegal act?

 

2. Any concerns of shoes being stolen away? What will happen, if the cleaner wash the corridors?

 

Please advise me.

 

Thank you very much.

 

Regards,

Bro, depends on the width of the corridor but most have makeshift ones next to the door. Customised one, as long as doesnt disturb the physical structure of the unit is ok, eg of the same dimension and structure to the ready made ones.

 

Just make sure to only put chaepo items outside

 

Cleaners hv their own time table to spring clean the corridor. Either you take note of this or do like what i do, sweet talk with bangla so that they cover the shoes/sandals with a plastic mat that i purposely prepared for. Kp it at a place where is easily accesible by the cleaner

it's against HDB regulations

 

but wth, i did that anyway

 

all those malay house decor technically is against HDB regulations also, as they drill them into the corridor ceiling, etc etc, but as long as it doesn't block pple's way, nothing shd happen.

 

and of course dun offend other neighbours, maybe ask them if they mind. some corridors can be quite narrow

I use those cheap shoe rack that can be found at DIY or hardware store, best is would those plastic cos will get wet when cleaner do their routine washing.

 

Put only cheap stuff outside.

 

So bro which area are you shifting to... last heard hougang rite ?

Is your customised shoe rack fixed or movable? If it's movable then I guess it okie... Just as long it doesn't obstruct the pathway and of course your neighbours don't complain...

 

As for the risk of your shoes being stolen, anything that's not locked can and will be stolen so it's totally at your own risk...

 

No more place inside your house? I only put my slippers outside and the rest of the shoes in my house...

I used to put a shoe rack outside the door, until I lost a pair of Teva sport sandals and also a pair of SAF sport sandals. I suspect both pairs were stolen by the bangla cleaners, because I saw one bangla downstairs wearing Teva sport sandals that were exactly the same as mine.

Anything left outside your house can go missing. My neighbours always report shoes missing.

 

Report to polis also no use.

[Qpik]

a fixed one might pose some probs.

 

get a portable one.

 

beware of karung guni men/aunty.

 

mthly cleang will find yr shoes wet.

 

be careful of roaches hiding inside.

 

the same apply for lingerie hanging outdoor.

i placed my smelly muddy wet soccer boots outside my door..

gone in the next day... knn

[Silhoutte]

How about a shoe box instead?

 

A shoe box can include a lock so that your shoes stay safe inside it.

 

I believe if the rack / box is placed properly without obstructing the walking path, then it shouldn't be a problem at all.

 

Cheers.

my neighbour's maid even placed her laundry stand or hanger (whichever u call) at corridor.Mine is corridor end unit and need to walk past their unit.But I'm fine with it as long dun hang undergarments.

[Dumb]

WTF my neighbour with few foreigners placed their shoes outside the house and the smell goes right into my kitchen. Had to shut my kitchen door whenever they are in.

Spray baygon at their shoes

It seems like there many problems associated with putting shoe rack outside of the door. I was told, putting dirty shoes at home is bad Feng Shui. No choice, will customized shoe rack at home near to the door instead. Thank you all for comments.

Yalor, still ended up in Hougang. Hougang is pretty big, It originated from the fridge of near serangoon mrt, covering Kovan, Hougang MRTs and probably ended at BuangKok MRT. Mine is not too far away from the present Tai Keng.
