Frequently Asked Questions

🏗️ Handling Unauthorized Structures

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.
  • May cause structural or fire hazards
  • Obstruct building maintenance or management
  • Lower property valuation or affect mortgage/sales
  • Owners are liable for removal costs if a demolition order is received
  • Violation may be recorded at the Land Registry
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.

📜 Demolition Orders & Legal Matters

Demolition orders are legally binding. If not complied within the time limit, the department may hire government contractors to carry out the work and recover all costs from the owner, including supervision and surcharge. This can affect property sales or mortgages.

Demolition orders will be marked with terms like "Demolition Order", "Statutory Notice", or "Buildings Ordinance Section 24", and include a file number (e.g., BD/ORD/XXXX). If unclear, you may send us the document for verification.
