Legal thresholds already crossed
42 years old — inside the mandatory inspection scheme
Private buildings enter the Mandatory Building Inspection Scheme at 30 years and can be selected at any time. Banks also shorten mortgage tenor on older buildings, which changes what a buyer can borrow.
Is it just this building, or the whole street?
Within 300 m there are 424 buildings on record, and 72 of them also carry an outstanding statutory order, average age 53 years.
This is a neighbourhood pattern, not an isolated case. Worth asking what neighbouring buildings are paying for repairs.
Across Kowloon City district, 783 of 3156 buildings on record carry an open order.

What this page cannot tell you
- 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.
- This page is generated automatically from open data. It is not a building survey, and it is not legal or investment advice.
