In response to a petition by the Old District Rooftop Residents' Concern Group, she said: "Where there is a case and we are ready, we will take action. The illegal structures re-erected on Cheuk Ming House in the same area are a case in point.
"We do not need petitions to prompt us into action. However, we do welcome reports from the public. They are a good source of information to help stop new illegal structures.
"As regards the air-coolers on the roof of Tak Yan House, when all necessary information is available, I will be able to decide what to do and I will tell all concerned."

Tsing Ma Bridge project on target
Construction of the Tsing Ma Bridge is on target for completion by May 1997 with the erection of the steel units for the main span now underway.
The bridge is a key part of the Airport Core Programme transport network that will serve the new airport at Chek Lap Kok.
"This represents the start of a major new phase in the construction of the bridge," Project Director of the Lantau Fixed Crossing Project Management Office of the Highways Department, Mr K C Yeung, said today (Thursday).
The first two 500-tonne deck units are now in position in the centre of the main span of the bridge. Joined together as one section, they were lifted into position yesterday evening and the final connection to the suspender ropes was completed this morning.
Hydraulic jacks mounted on a gantry lifted the units from a specially built barge and the units were then connected to suspender ropes hanging from the main suspension cables.
