In addition, in view of the unsatisfactory conditions of the external and common areas of Albert House, including loose/defective concrete, rusty steel bars, dilapidated chimney and defective drains, the Buildings Department also issued advisory letters requiring the parties concerned to effect urgent repairs. Progress is sti!! being made in this respect.
The Acting Director of Buildings, Mr Cheng Wei-dart, noted that the "rehabilitation of Albert House is a good example of what residents and owners can achieve in terms of improving their living environment and safety."
He thanked the owners and occupants concerned for setting an excellent example in the public interest.
"Our goal has always been to promote and maintain building safety. To this end, private and government resources and time could both be saved if building management, owners and occupants can be more responsive to timely repairs and be conscious of the need to keep their building safe by avoid adding any unauthorised structures to it," Mr Cheng said.

New airport jobs for local construction workers
The Labour Department today (Sunday) urged local construction workers to contact the Local Employment Service (LES) if they intended to find a job in the new airport and related projects.
Senior Labour Officer in charge of the Employment Services Division, Mr Raymond Chan, disclosed that his office had received many job vacancies arising from the new airport and related projects.
"A variety of jobs, with monthly wages ranging from $10,000 to over $20.000, are now available for local construction workers who have employment priority under the Government's importation of labour policy," Mr Chan added.
In order to let local construction workers know more of the availability of these jobs and the placement service of LES, an advertisement will be published in four local Chinese newspapers tomorrow (Monday).
"Local workers may call the jobs hotline 2492 2001 during office hours if they wish to seek more information."
