They are alleged to have undertaken piling works without the approval and consent of the Building Authority.
The department's Assistant Director (Legal and Management), Mr Cheng Wei- dart, said it was of general concern that all involved in building works should comply with this legal requirement which aimed at protecting public safety.
The hearing is scheduled for September 15 at the Western Magistracy.
