Chinanews client, Beijing, August 3 (Gong Hongyu) In recent years, the phenomenon of "opening a nail salon across the door and killing scripts upstairs" has become more and more common in urban residential communities.

　　Faced with the interference caused by the commercialization of the community, the tug-of-war between ordinary residents and shopkeepers has also been staged continuously.

　　In recent years, with the recovery of offline entertainment activities after the epidemic, script killing and board game shops have triggered a wave of store openings.

　　According to the data of the company's investigation, as of the end of 2020, there are more than 6,500 related companies and individual businesses with "script killing" and "board games" in their names or business scopes. Jiangsu, Shaanxi and Hubei have 674, 650 and 526 companies respectively. Top three.

　　When the player Xiao Wang searched for a certain city script to kill keywords, he found that the addresses of many shops were displayed in the residential buildings.

　　Low rents are an important reason for the script-killing shops to enter residential communities.

　　Ms. Huang, the owner of a script killer in a residential building in Haidian District, Beijing, said, “Script kill requires more spacious space, and the money for renting a three-bedroom apartment in a residential building can only be rented from a street-side business. The small cubicles are not enough and too expensive."

　　"Only when the price comes down can we attract customers, especially considering that most of the customers who kill scripts are young people and students, and their spending power is limited." Ms. Huang said.

　　In addition, "compared to residential buildings, the low-level commercial houses are in short supply, and there is no line to rent, which makes many businessmen choose to open shops in residential buildings," said a real estate agent who works in the pedestrian street of Jianghan Road in Wuhan. Therefore, there are a lot of people renting houses and opening shops in residential communities near popular commercial areas."

　　However, the business in the commercial district moved into the community, causing many troubles to the surrounding residents, such as affecting the privacy of residence, increasing management costs, bringing safety hazards, and causing health problems, so that many residents resist opening shops in residential buildings.

The high decibels, long business hours, and serious disturbance of the script have pushed the surrounding residents' criticism of the noise to the peak.

　　“It’s open until late every night. There are many people, crowds, noise and screaming, which seriously affects the normal rest of the neighbors.” Mr. Wang, who lives in a community in Licheng District, Jinan City, complained when he mentioned the script killing shop opened downstairs.

"Fish that slipped through the net" under the rules

　　In response to the phenomenon of commercial establishments in residential buildings, Xu Zhenhai, a lawyer at Beijing Dacheng Law Firm, said, “To change a residential building into a commercial building requires the unanimous consent of interested owners. It is an illegal act to change a residential building into a commercial building without authorization. ."

　　For residential buildings, and even some commercial apartments, governments in many places have made corresponding regulations on their business scope.

For example, Beijing prohibits enterprises from using houses in residential buildings (including houses planned for commercial use) as their residences (business premises) to engage in catering, singing and dancing entertainment, providing Internet service places (including "Internet cafes"), production, processing, and manufacturing. Class business activities.

　　However, despite the lack of complete procedures, driven by low costs and high profits, many script kills and board game shops are still "streaking" in residential buildings.

　　The concealment of the community has become the "protective color" for businesses to open stores.

"Some people opened a shop in their own homes without applying for a permit or notifying the property. Then they relied on the platform to solicit customers. After being checked, they said they were playing with friends. We couldn't help it." A property manager said, governance Shops in the community often become a tug of war between neighbours.

　　Opening a store in a community has increased the difficulty of supervision, and group-buying software has become a platform for some illegal stores to "regenerate". The store implements an "reservation system" and does not need to be on the street to attract customers. Even if it is investigated by the market supervision department, it will be able to Secretly put on the shelves.

　　"A gentleman loves money and gets it in a good way". Opening a shop in a residential building saves one's own operating costs, but it affects the normal life of others, making money is shameless, and disturbing the people and ethics.

I hope that the store will not only look at the immediate benefits, but also hope that the online platform will not turn a blind eye to the qualifications of the store, leaving the audit missing.

　　The script in the community kills the people, will you go?
