UNAUTHORISED STRUCTURES TO BE REMOVED
*********
Officers of the Buildings Ordinance Office today visited two
buildings in Quarry Bay to make arrangements for reinstating them to
their former condition, by removing many unauthorised structures.
The premises concerned are Hoi King and Hoi Sang buildings at
1026-1048 King's Road.
The unauthorised additions include balconies, swing doors and
other obstructions which form the subject of notices under the Buildings
Ordinance.
These structures were to have been removed by yesterday, but
since this, with a few exceptions, has not been done, it is the intention
of the government to carry out the work on behalf of the owners and to
charge them with the costs in due course.
Beginning tomorrow, the Fire Services Department will be
instituting legal proceedings with regard to summonses issued under the
Fire Hazard Abatement Ordinance.
