Over reacting over neighbour?

[Stroller15]

Hi t

Is it blocking the entrance/exit? Do you fold it up?

Is she ground floor? Ask her to store it 👍🏻

Yes, you need to move it. Anything left in a communal hallway, which includes prams, bikes, shoe racks, etc, is a fire risk and you cannot leave it in the hallway.

We have a zero tolerance policy with stuff left in communal hallways at our block. The managing agent comes around every month and removes everything left in the hallways or the meter cupboards. If the owners wants it back, it's £30. If they don't, it gets sold and the proceeds go to charity.

Gosh as I typed my story again I realised the original thread was more intriguing than this. Thank you for your kind and helpful advice - I'll be back if I have something more. ;)

She's right. It's a fire risk. As are the bikes. All of it needs to be removed. Communal corridors should be kept empty of everything. For the simple reason that even if not directly blocking an exit they represent hazards as they burn and give off toxic fumes.

I've been trapped in a fire where there was a buggy left 'just in a corner' you've no idea how much harder it made it to get out.

Unless she does this with the bikes are well then YANBU. lol at the earlier responses.

OP thanks, I needed that laugh!

To answer your question, I've had to exit during a fire in my block, couldn't see a thing and clutter in corridor would have added to the chaos. We have zero tolerance for stuff left in corridors as well. Honestly there's good reasons for it. Many of my neighbours feel even more anxious after Grenfell.

Your neighbour needs a new hobby

It's a fire risk OP...as are the bikes. There should be no obstruction of any kind in a shared lobby/entrance hall.

I lived in a block of four flats...two up and two down and the two eldetly flat dwellers in the downstairs flat, each had a little table outside their front door ....the tables were either side of the back door to the gardens and the man in one of these flats complained about the woman upstairs leaving her pram by the front door....the council then said "No pram AND no tables...get the tables gone"

So we had a nice empty and safe hall again.

People's clutter does not belong in a shared entrance.

Bottle of lube and shove them all up her arse. . .

Is it a fire risk? push chairs in all honestly shouldn't be left in communal areas, what does landlord/agreement say?

Yep, it is a fire risk.
I lived on top floor of a 6 block.
I was carefully bumping my baby in pushchair up and down stairs with one hand, whilst holding on to my toddlers hand with my other. Couldnt leave one up one flight of stairs due to being unsafe. So yes it is a fire risk however the alternative is so much more dangerous on a daily basis.

Completely agree it is a fire risk, therefore I move it as I said - just don't want her watching my every move and jumping out at me. Probably won't be jumping if I don't do anything wrong...

But you're leaving it there and then waiting for her to tell you to move it?

Just don't leave it there!

If you don't leave it there, she won't jump out to complain will she? Duh.

So your annoyed at her for trying to keep the block you live in fire safe you do know your putting the lives of everyone who lives in the block at risk in the event of a fire!

It's a fire risk but so are the bikes.

Perhaps don't leave the pushchair there and also send an email to whoever manages your building about the bikes?

You agree it's a fire risk so you move it? Except from 16:00-18:00.
It's an umbrella fold - just carry it upstairs.
If there is a health reason why you can't, get a bike chain lock and lock it outside if there's somewhere suitable?
