It's Illegal

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

It's Illegal

Post by Duncan »

The law says it is illegal to just add another floor on top of yours , if you own the top floor as this could put stress on the foundations and walls below you.
Here is an example where E1 and E2 have signs saying the E6 new floor is illegal, and E4 has a sign saying E6 it is a nice building, but it is still illegal.

Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I think that the neighbours may win in court and that the judge may indeed issue a demolition order. There's going to be a problem, though. The offending owner may claim that he cannot foot the bill for the demolition order. As a result, the collective of other owners will have to pick it up. Some owners will in turn claim that they cannot afford to pay for their share. So, the burden for paying the bill will rest on a coalition of the willing. The smaller it is and the larger the demolition bill, the less likely that they will effectively go ahead.

But if there was a demolition order, they could pay the demolition person , one dollar a month to carry out the job over the next 10 years, making it bloody annoying for those that built it and want to use it.

Demolishing a top floor is pretty easy - whack the fucking thing with sledgehammers until it's a pile of dust. The tricky bit is making sure that this is done safely for people below the top floor... something that is usually not a major priority in Asia.
