The Joint Office (JO) for investigation of reports on water seepage in buildings set up by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) and the Buildings Department (BD) today (June 29) announced that its Regional Joint Office (Kowloon) came into full operation today to handle reports on water seepage in buildings in Kowloon districts.
A spokesman for the JO said, "The working team of the JO is to provide a one-stop service to the public with both the legal authority of the FEHD and the building survey expertise of the BD. To improve the overall efficiency and enhance communication between JO staff of the two departments, the JO has relocated its six district joint offices in Mong Kok District, Yau Tsim District, Sham Shui Po District, Wong Tai Sin District, Kwun Tong District and Kowloon City District to the new office to enable staff of the two departments to work in the same office, strengthening mutual co-operation and communication which can help speed up the processing of cases with a view to providing better services to the public."
The Regional Joint Office (Kowloon), located at Suite 7B-10A, 21/F, Skyline Tower, 39 Wang Kwong Road, Kowloon Bay (Telephone: 3156 1942), is the second regional joint office of the JO. The first regional joint office, located at Yip Kan Street, Wong Chuk Hang, came into full operation on January 7 this year. The remaining two regional joint offices will be set up in New Territories East and New Territories West respectively.
