To tie in with the Government's announcement on the extension of special work arrangements for government employees to significantly reduce the flow of people and social contacts in the community so as to curb further spreading of the virus, a spokesman for the Transport and Housing Bureau said today (February 10) that the following arrangements will continue to be implemented to provide emergency and essential services for the public until further notice.
The Independent Checking Unit (ICU) under the Office of the Permanent Secretary for Transport and Housing (Housing) will provide a drop-in box to receive building control applications related to building plan submissions under the Buildings Ordinance and the specified forms and supporting documents required to be submitted under the Minor Works Control System, the Mandatory Building Inspection Scheme and the Mandatory Window Inspection Scheme. After processing the applications, the ICU will inform the applicants to collect the processed plans and related documents by appointment.
Applicants can place their submissions in the drop-in box located at 8/F, Lung Cheung Office Block, Lung Cheung Road, Wong Tai Sin, Kowloon, from 9.30am to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday, during the period. The ICU will issue receipts/acknowledgements of the submissions in due course. Members of the public, when entering Lung Cheung Office Block and offices of the ICU, must wear masks at all times and comply with infection control measures including temperature checks, using the "LeaveHomeSafe" mobile application and crowd control arrangements.
For emergency reports and general enquiries, people may call 1823 or contact the ICU by email, post or fax:
