"Other highlights of the campaign include a new 30-second film to remind residents of the need to maintain the interior and exterior of their properties. It will be broadcast on the television from this Saturday, with the same message to go on the radio some time next week.
"We have also produced a booklet entitled 'Maintaining Your Building' to guide residents on proper ways to maintain their properties for public safety and their own benefit. Copies will be distributed free at the roving exhibition.
"In addition, posters on building maintenance will be distributed to owners' incorporations and property management companies to further spread out the message," he said.
Comprising 10 well-designed and colourful panels, the exhibition at Dragon Centre illustrates the most common building defects with lively graphics and photographs.
It also spells out the legislative requirements on building maintenance and repair, as well as providing hints and advice to building owners for compliance with the statuary orders issued by the Buildings Department.
Two panels are devoted to fire safety in buildings, highlighting on the danger of making illegal alterations to means of escape and fire-resistance facilities, and the need for remedial actions.
The exhibition at Dragon Centre will run until January 13 (Monday). It will be open to public daily from 10 am to 10 pm and admission is free.
