ILLEGAL STRUCTURES TO BE CLOSED
***
THE BUILDING AUTHORITY TODAY (WEDNESDAY) DECLARED THAT THE ILLEGAL STRUCTURES ON THE ROOF OVER THE THIRD FLOOR OF 5 AND 7 MAIDSTONE LANE, KOWLOON WOULD BE CLOSED.
THE CLOSURE IS TO ENABLE DEMOLITION WORK ON THE STRUCTURES TO BE CARRIED OUT WITHOUT DANGER TO THE OCCUPIERS OR THE PUBLIC.
IN A STATEMENT ISSUED THIS MORNING, THE PRINCIPAL GOVERNMENT BUILDING SURVEYOR SAID THE STRUCTURES ERECTED THERE WERE ILLEGAL AND REQUIRED TO BE DEMOLISHED UNDER ORDERS SERVED BY THE BUILDING AUTHORITY ON THE OWNERS.
+THESE ORDERS HAD NOT BEEN COMPLIED WITH AND IT WAS NOW NECESSARY FOR THE BUILDING AUTHORITY TO CARRY OUT THE DEMOLITION WORK IN THE OWNER'S DEFAULT,+ HE SAID.
