WAN CHAI ILLEGAL STRUCTURE FACES DEMOLITION
*****
THE GOVERNMENT IS TO TAKE COURT ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH A WAN CHAI ILLEGAL STRUCTURE.
THE BUILDING AUTHORITY IS TO APPLY IN THE HONG KONG DISTRICT COURT ON JULY 28 FOR A CLOSURE ORDER TO BE MADE ON THE STRUCTURE WHICH IS ON THE MAIN ROOF OVER FLAT F ON THE FIFTH FLOOR OF 53, SHIP STREET.
IT HAS DECIDED ON THIS ACTION BECAUSE THE OCCUPANTS OF THE ILLEGAL STRUCTURE HAVE IGNORED A DEMOLITION ORDER ISSUED IN OCTOBER 1985, MADE UNDER THE BUILDINGS ORDINANCE.
THE BUILDING AUTHORITY SAID TODAY (MONDAY) THAT IT INTENDED TO DEMOLISH THE STRUCTURE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CLOSURE ORDER WAS OBTAINED.
A SPOKESMAN SAID NOTICES INFORMING OCCUPANTS THAT AN APPLICATION IS TO BE MADE FOR A CLOSURE ORDER WERE POSTED ON THE STRUCTURE TODAY.
HE SAID IT WAS THE USUAL PRACTICE TO OBTAIN A CLOSURE ORDER FIRST SO THAT DEMOLITION COULD BE CARRIED OUT WITHOUT BANGER TO THE STRUCTURE'S OCCUPANTS OR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.
