強制驗樓計劃. 毫無疑問，欠缺妥善維修保養的樓宇，會對市民大眾構成威脅。 為了處理這個問題，香港政府在2012年推出了強制驗樓計劃。 根據強制驗樓計劃： 政府會在每年揀選2,000幢樓齡達30年或以上的私人樓宇（不高於三層的住用樓宇除外），向業主發出預先知會函件，確認有關大廈已被納入強制驗樓計劃內。 6個月後，政府會向該等樓宇的業主發出法定通知，規定業主委任一名註冊檢驗人員進行某些指定的檢驗。 （注意：該2,000幢樓宇會在同一時間收到強制驗窗計畫下的法定通知書，要求進行有關窗戶的檢驗。 對於沒有業主立案法團的樓宇來說，所有單位的業主應通力合作，以完成法定通知內要求的驗樓工作。 檢驗的範圍包括外部構件、實體構件、結構構件、消防安全構件、排水系統及僭建物。
