What are the hidden dangers of Nanjing residential building basement being transformed into hotel kitchen?

According to reports, recently, in Sifang New Village Community, Qinhuai District, Nanjing, many departments of districts and streets conducted a general survey of the whole community, and the results were shocking: 123 was illegally used for living, and four rooms were transformed into hotel backyards. This means that there are flammable and explosive safety hazards in the "foundation" of residential buildings.

According to the person in charge of the residential property, most of the basements of residential buildings in Sifang New Village were purchased by the owners of the residential area when they delivered the house. However, over the years, some owners have rented out their basements, resulting in various illegal uses.

The person in charge of the property said that in June, more than 20 "dangerous basements" in/kloc-0 will be treated in conjunction with the district construction bureau, the district market supervision sub-bureau, the district environmental protection bureau, the district public security sub-bureau and the district fire brigade, and the owners of the rented basements will be jointly interviewed. It is planned that by the beginning of July, the operation and living conditions of the basement will be completely emptied, and the potential safety hazards will be completely eliminated. In order to prevent the resurgence of illegal use of basements, property owners will also formulate a long-term management supervision and inspection system for basements.

The person in charge of consumption said that whether it is used as a hotel backyard or a rented residence, it is a major hidden danger for the safety of the entire residential building. "Especially putting liquefied gas cylinders in it is a closed space. Once a leak occurs, the concentration reaches 1.7% to 10%, and it is easy to explode when it encounters static electricity, sparks and open flames, which is equivalent to placing a time bomb in a residential building.
