CLOSURE OF KWAI CHUNG ILLEGAL STRUCTURES
*****
THE BUILDING AUTHORITY IS SEEKING CLOSURE OF A NUMBER OF ILLEGAL STRUCTURES ON THE FLAT ROOF ADJACENT TO FLAT F ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF 33-57 TAI PAK TIN STREET, KWAI CHUNG, SO THAT THEY CAN BE DEMOLISHED.
THIS FOLLOWS THE OWNERS' FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ORDERS ISSUED UNDER THE BUILDINGS ORDINANCE IN JUNE 1985, REQUIRING DEMOLITION OF THE STRUCTURES.
A NOTICE OF INTENTION TO APPLY FOR A CLOSURE ORDER IN TSUEN WAN DISTRICT COURT ON APRIL 29, WAS POSTED ON THE STRUCTURES TODAY (MONDAY).
DEMOLITION WORK WILL BE CARRIED OUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CLOSURE ORDER IS OBTAINED.
