Matched by location, not by file number: records whose government coordinates fall inside this building's footprint (±6 m). Confirm with the department before relying on a record.

Is it just this building, or the whole street?

Within 300 m there are 364 buildings on record, and 65 of them also have Buildings Department orders on record, average age 45 years.

This is a neighbourhood pattern, not an isolated case. Worth asking what neighbouring buildings are paying for repairs.

Across Wan Chai district, 555 of the 2570 buildings with data have orders on record. All buildings with orders on record in Wan Chai →

What this page cannot tell you

The Buildings Department publishes orders issued and orders cleared as two separate lists, with different start dates, and never publishes which are still outstanding. Treat this as "has been under an order", not "is under an order". Confirm with the BD before relying on it.
Records are per BUILDING, not per flat — an order does not mean the specific unit you are viewing has a problem.
The unauthorised-works data covers removal orders served from 1 May 2023 onward only. No record ≠ no unauthorised works.
Building age covers structures with a known occupation record, not every building in Hong Kong.
