自香港当局于三月启动对“一史丹利”（One Stanley）项目涉嫌结构缺陷的调查以来，该项目约24栋豪宅已售出，买家包括本地及国际商界人士。
Around two dozen luxury houses at One Stanley have been sold since Hong Kong authorities launched an investigation into alleged structural defects in March, with buyers including local and international businesspeople.
这些交易促使专家呼吁加强购房者保护，包括在发现违反法规的情况时，强制规定买家可撤销合同的时间期限。
These transactions have prompted experts to call for stronger homebuyer protections, including implementing a mandatory period for buyers to rescind contracts when statutory violations are discovered.
《南华早报》周三获悉，尽管政府仍在调查该住宅区的施工质量，但“一史丹利”项目在三至九月期间仍录得24笔交易。
The South China Morning Post learned that 24 transactions were recorded at One Stanley between March and September on Wednesday, despite an ongoing government probe into construction quality at the development.
岭南大学建筑非法性研究专家、测量师游荣教授敦促加强一手房产买家的消费者保护。
Lingnan University Professor Yau Yung, a surveyor who researches building illegality, urged stronger consumer protections for first-hand property buyers.
他表示：“我曾建议设立一个强制性时间框架，若发现严重缺陷或违反法规的情况，买家可在此期限内撤销购房合同。”
“I have suggested a mandatory time frame during which buyers can rescind purchase contracts if severe defects or statutory violations are discovered,” he said.
消息人士称，在这24笔交易中，买家包括本地企业家、内地高管及国际商界人士，部分房产还拥有海景。
Among the 24 transactions, buyers included local entrepreneurs, mainland Chinese executives and international businesspeople, with several of the properties featuring sea views, sources said.
建筑署周六表示，已对位于南区最昂贵社区之一的史丹利“一史丹利”项目的工程质量问题展开调查，并向开发商、承建商及相关专业人士索取信息。
The Buildings Department said on Saturday that it had launched an investigation into work quality issues at One Stanley in Stanley, one of the most expensive neighbourhoods in the Southern district, and had requested information from the developer, contractor and relevant professionals.
该部门称，今年一月在收到业主关于房屋楼板的结构安全投诉后，已于三月派员到现场进行检验。其表示，此前的检查并未发现任何即时危险。
The department sent staff to carry out an on-site inspection at a house in March after receiving the owner’s complaint regarding the structural safety of the floor slabs of the property in January. It said its previous inspections did not find any imminent danger.
该项目共包括32栋独立屋及11栋低层楼宇，合计50套住宅单位。
The development comprises 32 detached houses and 11 low-rise blocks containing 50 flats in total.
该问题在一篇于周五发布的报道曝光后浮出水面。在线房地产新闻平台WuChatProp称，对“一史丹利”一处住宅的现场检查发现，部分区域使用的钢筋数量不足，与获批的建筑图纸相比，差距高达75%。
The issue came to light after a report published on Friday by online property news platform WuChatProp alleged that an on-site inspection of a house at One Stanley found insufficient steel bars had been used in some parts, falling short of the number in the approved building plans by as much as 75 per cent.
据报道，业主于2024年以约1亿港元（1280万美元）购入该房产，并于去年8月开始翻新时发现了质量问题。
The owner reportedly bought the property in 2024 for about HK$100million (US$12.8 million) and discovered quality issues when he started renovations in August last year.
建筑署周二晚间回复《南华早报》称，由于调查仍在进行中，不便进一步评论。
The Buildings Department said in a reply to the SCMP on Tuesday night that as the investigation was under way, it would be inappropriate to comment further.
该部门补充说，已要求开发商对同一开发项目内的类似住宅和居住单位进行检查，并提交报告。
The department added that it had instructed the developer to inspect similar houses and residential units within the development and submit a report.
作为监管机构，建筑署还表示，将主动对部分选定单位进行随机检查，并审计相关建筑专业人士和承包商正在管理的其他项目，以确保整体结构安全。
As the regulatory authority, the department also said it would proactively carry out random checks on selected units and audit other current projects managed by the involved building professionals and contractors to ensure overall structural safety.
截至周二，该楼盘的开发商K Wise Limited有三名董事：罗基诺、邝顺仪和雷蒙德·罗家贵。
K Wise Limited, the vendor of the estate, has three directors: Law Kino, Ng Shun-yee, and Raymond Law Ka-kui as of Tuesday.
雷蒙德·罗是已故纺织巨头、Bossini创始人之一罗廷鹏的小儿子，而罗基诺则是这位巨头的孙子。
Raymond Law is the youngest son of late textile tycoon and one of the founders of Bossini, Law Ting-pong, while Law Kino is the tycoon’s grandson.
根据建筑署的记录，该部门于2023年7月向“一史丹利”的32栋独立住宅和11栋低层楼宇发放了入伙许可证。文件显示，黄明荫是该项目的授权人，而林思伦则是结构工程师。
According to the Buildings Department’s record, it issued occupation permits to 32 stand-alone houses and 11 low-rise blocks at One Stanley in July 2023. The document stated that Wong Ming-yim was the project’s authorised person and Benny Lai Siu-lun as theed structural engineer.
“一史丹利”的销售信息显示，黄先生来自DLN建筑师事务所。根据该事务所的网站，黄先生是这家于1972年在香港成立公司的副总经理。
Sales information of One Stanley indicated that Wong was from DLN Architects. According to the firm’s website, Wong was a deputy managing director at the company founded in Hong Kong in 1972.
林先生则被认为是SYW & Associates的执行总监，因为该公司的电话号码与建筑署结构工程师名单中黄先生的联系方式一致。
Lai was believed to be the executive director of SYW & Associates, as the company’s phone number matches with the contact of Wong on the department’s structural engineers’.
根据《南华早报》（SCMP）的核查，赖亦被认为曾是独立审查小组的成员之一，该小组负责调查中央警署“已婚督察宿舍”大楼早期部分坍塌事件。
According to an SCMP check, Lai was also believed to be one of the members of an Independent Review Panel to inquire into the partial collapse of the Married Inspectors’ Quarters building at the Central Police Station in its early days.
前立法会议员兼律师孔玉芬（Doreen Kong Yuk-foon）虽拒绝就这一具体进展发表评论，但她指出，近期全港建筑缺陷案件数量激增，凸显了加强购房者法律保障的迫切需求。
While declining to comment on the specific development, former lawmaker and lawyer Doreen Kong Yuk-foon noted a recent surge in construction defect cases across the city, highlighting an urgent need for enhanced legal protections for homebuyers.
她补充说，潜在的结构问题往往在工程完工多年后才显现，但香港建筑商所承担的法定责任却仍受到严格限制。
She added that latent structural issues often emerge years after completion, yet statutory liability for Hong Kong builders remained strictly limited.
她表示，对于购房者而言，追究开发商的缺陷责任异常困难，尤其是在项目实体在全部单位售出后不久便启动自愿清盘的情况下。
She said that holding developers accountable for defects was exceptionally difficult for homebuyers, particularly when project entities undergo voluntary winding up shortly after selling all units.
为填补这些法律漏洞，她敦促政府改革现有法规，包括限制开发商在销售完成后迅速启动自愿清盘程序。
To address these loopholes, she urged the government to reform existing regulations, including restricting developers from swiftly initiating voluntary winding-up proceedings upon completing sales.
然而，一位专攻物业法的律师表示，开发商在发现问题后是否应停止出售房产，属于商业决策。
However, a barrister specialising in property law said whether a developer should stop selling properties after identifying issues was a commercial decision.
这位业内人士表示：“仅因一套单位出现问题，就要求整个发展项目停止销售，从商业角度来看，很难有充分理由支持。”
“Having to halt the sales of the entire development just because of an issue at one flat is somewhat hard to justify from a commercial perspective,” the industry player said.
“一个发展项目可能涉及1000套单位。如果采取这种政策，将打击开发商投资或出售房产的积极性。我们需要在两者之间取得平衡。”该律师补充说，若开发商明知工程质量存在问题却仍继续销售，也需承担未来向购房者赔偿的风险。
“A development may involve 1,000 flats. If that were the policy, it would discourage developers from investing or selling properties. We need to strike a balance.”The barrister added that a developer who knows about work-quality issues and still sold its properties also bore the risk of compensating buyers in the future.
