What's allowed in my HDB riser, corridor and common areas?

Plants, sofa, pets maybe?

You have a delivery today and you are not home. What do you do?

For many of us, in order to keep items hidden from the public eye (prevent theft), we tend to inform the delivery person to place it in the riser.

Some of us may have dedicated boxes/cabinet on our corridor that are for delivery items. Or maybe to just place it on the shoe rack at the corridor.

Well, if you are unaware, items that you place on these spaces may pose inconvenience and danger in some instances. It may also hinder our SCDF heroes in conducting their work in times of crises.

Here's a quick guideline on what is and is not permitted along these common areas, starting with the Corridor:

And for Risers:

Hope this gives you a little more knowledge on the do's and don'ts and do your bit for the good of your neighbourhood.
