Housing Authority Concerned Over Serious Defects in Lift Replacement Works at Pok Hong Estate and Tsui Ping North Estate
房委會高度關注兩屋邨更換升降機工程存在嚴重缺失
The Housing Authority said serious defects occurred during lift replacement works at Pok Hong Estate in Sha Tin in 2025 and at Tsui Ping North Estate in Kwun Tong in 2026 respectively, and that it will pursue the liability of Tai Yat Elevator (Hong Kong) Limited. The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department said preliminary evidence indicates that the company is suspected of serious negligence or misconduct, and that criminal acts involving fraud and making false statements cannot be ruled out; the incident has been referred to the police. The Housing Authority also advised the owners' incorporation of Fu Heng Estate, which is preparing to replace its lifts, to hold off on approving the contract.
