Restaurant owners told to remove air-coolers

The Buildings Department today (Tuesday) asked the owners of a scafood restaurant on the ground floor of Tak Yan House in Tsuen Wan to remove air- conditioning cooling towers on the rooftop of the building.

"We have now completed our examination of the case in the light of further information and legal advice. We have taken the decision that the cooling towers are unauthorised building works and should be removed," the Assistant Director of Buildings, Mr Cheng Wei-dart, said.

"We have asked the restaurant owners to remove the cooling towers. We will monitor the situation and if necessary we will serve a removal order under the Buildings Ordinance.'
