QUARRY BAY ILLEGAL STRUCTURES TO BE CLOSED

TWO ILLEGAL STRUCTURES IN QUARRY BAY ARE TO BE CLOSED

SO THAT THEY CAN BE DEMOLISHED.

THEY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITHIN THE STAIRCASE ON THE GROUND FLOOR OF A BUILDING ADJACENT TO 41 TONG CHONG STREET, AND AT THE SIDE LANE.

THE BUILDING AUTHORITY FIRST ISSUED AN ORDER UNDER THE BUILDINGS ORDINANCE MORE THAN 15 MONTHS AGO REQUESTING DEMOLITION OF THE STRUCTURES, BUT THIS WAS NOT COMPLIED WITH.

A NOTICE OF INTENTION TO APPLY FOR A CLOSURE ORDER AT VICTORIA DISTRICT COURT ON SEPTEMBER 12 WAS POSTED ON THE STRUCTURES TODAY (MONDAY).

THE STRUCTURES HAVE TO BE CLOSED IN ADVANCE SO THAT THEY CAN BE DEMOLISHED WITHOUT CAUSING DANGER TO OCCUPIERS OF THE BUILDING OR TO THE PUBLIC.

DEMOLITION WORK WILL BE CARRIED OUT ONCE A CLOSURE ORDER IS OBTAINED.
