Accumulation of refuse, choked or defective plumbing systems, water
dripping from air-conditioners, and water seepage inside private premises
are common sanitary nuisances. To tackle these problems, the FEHD issues
statutory notices that require abatement of the nuisance. Prosecution
will be initiated against those who fail to comply with the notice within
a specified period. During the year, the department issued 3 387 statutory
notices and initiated four prosecutions. |
