Notice to abate a building nuisance.

OFFICE OF THE BUILDING AUTHORITY,

HONG KONG,

19......

To A.B.,

It has been brought to my attention that a nuisance exists

your situated

which contravenes section

Lot No.

viz. :-

of the Buildings Ordinance,

1934. I have therefore to give you notice under the said Ordinance to abate the nuisance within a period expiring on

by

(Signed)

Building Authority.

Objects and Reasons.

1. One of the recommendations in the Report of the Director of Medical and Sanitary Services on the need for re-organization of the Medical and Sanitary Services is that Regulations regarding the construction of buildings should come under a Buildings Ordinance.

2. Hitherto this subject has been dealt with under the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance (No. 1 of 1903).

3. It is felt that there are disadvantages in mixing provi- sions as to the design and construction of buildings, which concern mainly the Public Works Department, with provisions relating to house-cleansing and the prevention of disease, which are the special concern of the Sanitary and Medical Depart-

ments.

4. This Ordinance extracts from Ordinance No. 1 of 1903 (which it is intended shortly to repeal and replace by another Ordinance or Ordinances dealing with Sanitation and the Pre- vention of Disease) those provisions which deal with the con- struction of buildings and concern the Public Works Depart- ment and amends them where amendment is considered necessary.

5. A Table of Correspondence attached to the Bill shews the origin of its various clauses and the nature of the amend-

ments.

December, 1934.

Attorney General.
