Unauthorized structures are additions or alterations built without approval from the Buildings Department, such as rooftop houses, canopies, metal structures, air-conditioner brackets, illegal signboards, or partition walls. These may pose safety or hygiene risks and must be removed by the owner.

If the removal falls under the Buildings Department's authority (e.g., stated in a demolition order), it must be handled by a qualified contractor with proper Minor Works submission. Unregistered demolition may still be considered non-compliant and require rework.
