【Owner fined over $100,000 for persistently failing to comply with removal orders】

Hey hey hey!  #Stay away from legal trouble!  An owner was fined over $100,000 for persistently failing to comply with two removal orders.  Unauthorised building works (UBWs) adversely affect structural and fire safety of a building.  For your safety and the safety of others, owners should comply with removal orders as soon as possible!
