REMOVAL OF ILLEGAL STRUCTURE SOUGHT
****
AN ILLEGAL STRUCTURE ON THE CANOPY OF THE FIRST FLOOR OF 479 NATHAN ROAD, KOWLOON, IS TO BE REMOVED.
THE BUILDING AUTHORITY IS TO APPLY TO THE DISTRICT COURT ON MAY 12 FOR A CLOSURE ORDER IN RESPECT OF THE STRUCTURE.
IT PLACED NOTICES OF ITS INTENTION ON CONSPICUOUS PARTS OF THE STRUCTURE TODAY (WEDNESDAY).
AN ORDER TO DEMOLISH THE STRUCTURE WAS ISSUED UNDER THE BUILDINGS ORDINANCE A YEAR AGO, BUT NO ACTION HAD BEEN TAKEN.
THE BUILDING AUTHORITY WILL NOW GET COURT BACKING TO CLOSE THE STRUCTURE BEFORE DEMOLITION WHICH CAN THEN BE CARRIED OUT WITHOUT DANGER TO OCCUPANTS OR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.
