These updated figures were released by the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department on Sunday night following citywide inspections of all lifts managed by Taizoom.

The department indicated that out of the 152 affected premises, 150 are private residential or commercial structures, while the remaining two are public housing estates operating under the Tenants Purchase Scheme. Authorities also noted that the expected number of affected buildings could increase further, as approximately 180 more buildings serviced by the Hong Kong company have not yet undergone inspection.
