The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and Building and Construction Authority (BCA) are investigating possible unauthorised rooftop structures at two condominiums in Haig Avenue.
This follows public feedback on possible violations by several penthouse owners at Rose Maison and EiS Residences.
One of the structures in question, at the four-storey Rose Maison, appears to be a glass-enclosed space with an extended roof sheltering part of the terrace. The area is decorated with potted plants and seating.
The rooftop structure at the fivestorey EiS Residences features a rectangular enclosed room with windows.
BCA has so far assessed that "there is no impact on the structural integrity of one of the units", the agencies said in a joint response to queries from The Sunday Times.
"As investigations are currently ongoing, we are unable to share more details," they stated.
The authorities were alerted to the possible illegal roof structures and began inspection of one of the units in June 2024, ST understands.
It is unclear whether building plans for the roof terraces were submitted for approval by the penthouse owners.
According to URA and BCA, home owners must obtain approval from their management corporation strata title (MCST) before carrying out any works that affect the appearance of their building.
If the works increase the gross floor area (GFA), approval must be secured through a 90 per cent resolution at a general meeting. Additionally, home owners should ensure they comply with any relevant MCST by-laws before starting any alterations.
Beyond MCST approval, regulatory approvals may also be required. For alterations that increase the GFA or affect planning parameters, URA's approval must be obtained, said URA and BCA.
