Three-nil buildings explained

Three-nil building is a term used to describe multiple-occupancy buildings in Hong Kong which lack an owners' corporation, residents' organisation and are not managed by a property management company.[1] As of 2019 there were around 5,300 three-nil buildings in Hong Kong.[2] Residents and the government encounter significant issues when dealing with these buildings since these buildings lack points of contact or leadership, leading to maintenance and social issues.
