Do property owners need to inform the Buildings Department when the rectification of unauthorized building works is completed?

Property owners, their agents or consultant/contractor should inform the Buildings Department (BD) as soon as possible after completing the rectification of unauthorized building works (UBW). This allows BD to conduct inspections so that BD can confirm compliance with the relevant order or warning notice.
