Signboard

Enforcement actions against large signboards

The BD has been actively applying for priority demolition orders under section 24B of the Buildings Ordinance from the Court in recent months and then engaged its contractor to remove as soon as possible those large signboards that are in serious breach of the law and pose high public risk to safeguard public safety. The removal costs and surcharges will be recovered from the signboard owners. The cases with completed removal works are below.
