Hong Kong authorities are concerned about the potential eviction of dozens of households from subdivided flats in the Yee Wa Building in Cheung Sha Wan by March. The building's new owners, Long Champ 31 and Golden City International (Cheung Sha Wan), plan to upgrade the premises to meet new housing regulations. As a result, 72 of the 109 affected households have expressed a need for transitional housing. The Housing Bureau is in contact with the tenants and will expedite applications for transitional housing. The ownership change occurred in November, prompting the need for upgrades to comply with the new law taking effect in March.
