A. Dear Client,

While the property is undergoing litigation in the District Court, if the Municipal Authority advises a structural audit due to safety concerns regarding a dilapidated building, the Court is unlikely to grant permission for reconstruction or renovation. Instead, an interim order for demolition based on the audit and survey reports may be issued. Demolishing an old building for safety reasons does not alter the property's classification or character.
