The Hong Kong Subdivided Housing Platform conducted a "Special Study on the Violations of Subdivided Housing in Hong Kong" from August to September this year.
They checked the information and found that from 2015 to 2019, the Buildings Department received 641 commencement notices and 602 completion certificates for minor works projects.
They used the division of a unit into three sub-districts as an indicator, and estimated that 1,806 sub-district units were rebuilt according to the regulations in 5 years.
However, according to the "Long Term Housing Strategy", the government estimates that the number of unsuitable residential households will increase to 119,000 from 2015 to 2019, and an increase of 12,500 households in five years means that it is estimated that 86% of subdivided housing renovation projects have not been applied for.

They conducted case studies on four sub-family units in Tsuen Wan District, Kwai Chung District and Kwun Tong District.
Four major problems were found, including black toilets, pipe connections, fire protection systems and structural problems.
Mr. Liu lives in a ground-floor unit in Kwun Tong, with an area of only 30 square feet and a rent of about 3,000 yuan.
He said that there is no air circulation in the unit, and there is only a self-separated vent, facing the corridor.
Architect Guan Zhaolun claimed that the vent was rebuilt in violation of regulations, and there were no windows to the open air in the unit, which violated the building regulations.
In the unit, the attic is built as a bed with wooden stairs. The practice is not only illegal, but also prone to fire, which poses safety concerns.
