District governance: New approach to tackling air conditioner leaks
***************************************************************
The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) has adopted a multipronged approach to address environmental hygiene nuisances caused by dripping air conditioners. It includes the use of infrared night-vision cameras, enhancing inspections in 30 black spots between May and September, reallocating manpower and strengthening collaboration across various sectors. As of mid-July, the FEHD had issued about 700 nuisance notices in the city-wide operation targeting the 30 black spots.
