The management boards of apartment buildings are required to install camera surveillance systems, stick paper notes with codes of conduct in public places such as elevators, corridors, halls, playgrounds, community houses, among others.
Service personnel at apartment buildings must be trained on proper behavior when performing their duties and skills in handling possible infractions.
In recent times, weird behaviors in public places have caused people’s indignation, according to the municipal Department of Culture and Sports.
"Although these cases are not widely seen, they have badly affected the reputation of Hanoi people and angered public opinion," the department said.
