History
Short piling scandal
In 1999, the piles of Blocks K (Chung Po House) and L (Chung Ho House) were found to be shortened by up to seven meters compared with the standard requirement. Foundation strengthening works was then carried out in the block and completed in 2002. 640 units in the two blocks were sold to the public in 2009.
