El administrador de Wang Fuk Court detalla un reembolso de 127 millones de HK$ para los propietarios desplazados

El administrador de Wang Fuk Court ha detallado los planes para reembolsar 127 millones de HK$ a los propietarios desplazados por un incendio importante, tras el pago de 180 millones de HK$ destinados a un proyecto de renovación.

El administrador de Wang Fuk Court reveló las cifras durante una reunión por Zoom el martes. Hop On Management Company, designada por el gobierno en enero, organizó la sesión para los residentes del complejo habitacional de Tai Po.

La empresa ha tomado el relevo de ISS EastPoint y ha completado la entrega de 890.000 archivos digitales junto con 66 cajas de documentos. Estos registros cubren los pagos del proyecto de renovación de 336 millones de HK$.

Más de 240 propietarios habían solicitado las reuniones a finales de abril. Una segunda sesión está programada para el 20 de mayo. Frankie Chan, director de servicio en Hop On, señaló que la cantidad exacta que recibirá cada hogar se calculará tras procesar más documentación.
