A stone house was built 10 years ago in a back alley of Shek Tong Street, To Kwa Wan. Since it did not affect the nearby residents, they have been living in peace.
In recent months, a man surnamed Tang claimed that he had violated his rights. He started construction work in the back alley, not only building stairs, but also closing the manhole canal cover, and even changing the water pipes of the nearby buildings.
Once residents take action to prevent someone from continuing to build without authorization, the other party will resort to a complaint, making it difficult for nearby garages and nursing homes to survive.
Today (18th), the Buildings Department and other departments sent personnel to the site to remove unauthorized structures. However, local people believe that the symptoms will not be cured.

The Tung Tak Building on Chatham Road North, To Kwa Wan, the new building on Ma Tau Wai Road, and a back alley between the buildings in Shek Tong Street have been hiding a stone house for at least 10 years.
Some people lived in the stone house in the future, but later it was vacant and was occupied by a man surnamed Tang who opened an engineering company nearby to put up the house.
According to Lin Bo, director-general of the Kowloon City Residents' Association, Tang Nan later intensified his efforts, gradually adding a shrine to worship, erecting iron frames, bamboo sheds, building slopes and changing pipes.
Lim Bo pointed out that the property rights of the stone house belonged to another neighbor, but he believed that Tang Nan had the idea of adverse encroachment, so he occupied the stone house and built stairs, slopes, worship places and trees, and also placed personal belongings on Shitang Street.
Lin bluntly said, "The owner was afraid of the ditch (Tang man), so he complained that he wanted to demolish the house, and he continued to bully him." As for the foreigners currently living in the stone house, as far as he knew, they did not pay rent, and Tang man even paid him to ask him The tenant was working on the project, but the neighbors had witnessed Tang Nan being chased by his neck.
Lin Bo said that Tang Nan was also a neighbor of To Kwa Wan, and he was also the chairman of the morning sun building corporation. However, in recent years, his behavior was different. Scaffolding and iron frames were erected in the alley behind the incident for half a year or more to publish advertisements for his decoration engineering company.
Other neighbors have argued with Tang many times, but they have been complained to the government, causing the owners' corporation to be busy doing repairs everywhere.
Mr. Zhang, a staff member of the nearby garage, expressed his helplessness to what Tang Nan did, and said frankly that he would avoid conflict with him, so as to prevent him from making a complaint to the police at every turn.
He pointed out that once, Tang Nan asked the garage to move the car and let him drop the goods before setting up the shed, but police officers arrived at the scene to copy the license plate. There is no water in the home, and the owner of the nursing home is very troubled.
Regarding the follow-up situation in the future, Lin Bo and the neighbors believe that Tang Nan will only "demolition and then start again", because it will take a long time for the government to execute the demolition order, but Tang Nan does small projects without approval. Start work.
A long-term injunction can stop Tang Nan's behavior, but it will cost more than 100,000 yuan. The residents are very angry: "What do you want me to do, how much do you want me to do?" In addition, Tang Nan is already bankrupt. More than 10,000 yuan is believed to have to be paid in full by the neighbors.
The police, the Lands Department, the Highways Department, the Buildings Department and the Social Welfare Department cooperated across departments to remove the unauthorized structures in the back alley, but Limbaugh pointed out that this was only a "symptom, not a cure". Consider adding columns and beams to hinder movement.
