Prospective tenants shall obtain from the appropriate authority or authorities at their own expense all licences and permits that may be required in connection with the business to be operated in the premises.
The Housing Authority (HA) has adopted more stringent and objective measures to deal with the irregularities commonly found in its factory estates under the Factory Marking Scheme.
The scheme targets at offences associated with abuse of the factory units and common areas, as well as misdeeds undermining building control or posing hazard to fire safety, environmental hygiene and public safety.
Penalty points will be allotted according to the degree of seriousness of the offences and will be held valid for two years. Tenants will be alerted once their accrued points have reached 10 or above, while the Housing Depratment (HD) will take action to terminate the tenancy when the marks accumulate to 16.
The offences and the points to be allotted are as below :
