Buildings Department seeks to close illegal structure
*
The Buildings Department is seeking to close an illegal rooftop structure at 79 Chuen Lung Street in Tsuen Wan for demolition without endangering the occupiers and the public.
A notice was posted at the structure today (Monday) informing the occupiers that the Buildings Department would apply for a closure in respect of the structure from the court on December 13.
Acting Chief Building Surveyor, Mr Jeffrey Dobbing, said that the planned closure was part of an exercise to enforce an order issued under the Buildings Ordinance requiring removal of the illegal structure. Demolition of the structure would commence once the closure order was granted, but Mr Dobbing stressed that no one would be rendered homeless in line with the government's policy.
He advised the occupiers to approach the Buildings Department if they require assistance in rehousing, adding that the department would put them in touch with the Housing Department for screening and assessment of their eligibility for rehousing.
