Demolition order for rooftop illegal structure at Fuk On Building in Sham Shui Po reissued; handed over to owners' corporation, Buildings Department does not disclose occupier's identity

The Buildings Department issued another demolition order for the rooftop illegal structure at Fuk On Building in Sham Shui Po at the end of last month. The addressee was changed from Kwok Fong Property, a subsidiary of Sun Hung Kai Properties at the time, to the building's owners' incorporation corporation, and demolition work must begin within 15 days. The incident has been delayed for 20 years due to unclear ownership. Mr Ng, vice-chairman of the corporation, said the Buildings Department had not disclosed the identity of the rooftop occupier and felt it was unfair to hand over the responsibility. The Buildings Department explained that after Kwok Fong sold the ownership, it lost the exclusive right to use the rooftop, so the responsibility was assigned to the corporation in accordance with the public trust.
