                             Many residents at several apartment buildings in Hanoi and HCM City are complaining about being surrounded by dumping sites.
                             
 
   
Apartment buildings in Nam An Khanh Urban Area in Hanoi are surrounded by rubbish.
 The residents in Hanoi's Hoai Duc District are having to cope with the  stench from the rubbish that was dumped in the residential area. The  temporary overflowing dumping site of Thang Long Victory urban area in  Hoai Duc District, owned by Phuc Ha Group, was located next to the  entrance route and children's playground.
The representative of Phuc Ha Group said the rubbish had spilt out on  the street about one month ago and badly affected the lives of the  residents. The rubbish was supposed to be transferred to Xuan Son  dumping site. However, the locals in Xuan Son Commune blocked the  entrance to the site because of a dispute over ground clearance  compensation rate after the Xuan Son dumping site was expanded. 
Phuc Ha Group have asked district authorities and management board to find a solution for the problem.
Residents at other apartment complexes including Geleximco An Khanh and  Golden An Khanh in Hoai Duc District are also having to deal with the  rubbish. Those who live in higher floors also close their windows all  day because of the smell.
"Even though we live in a high-rise building, we still have to bear the  smell, especially when it's sunny and windy. We don't go out much  because we afraid our children may have respiratory diseases," said  Nguyen Manh Son, a resident at Thang Long Victory.
After filling complaints about the dumping site, Hoai Duc District  authorities used lime powder and tarpaulin to cover up the site.  However, the stench is still strong.
AZ Sky Dinh Cong in Hanoi and Phu My Hung urban area in HCM City face  the same problem and many complaints have been filed. About 300  apartments in southern HCM City can't be sold because of the rubbish and  investors have no idea when is the best time to put the apartments up  for sale.
Real estate brokers said their works were also badly affected as  potential buyer shied away from the dumping site. Nguyen Duc Hai said a  few days ago, he led a customer to Nam An Khanh to see the apartment in  Hanoi. But the customer didn't want to proceed and returned home even  though they were still outside the building and the price was cheap.
