Legal twist offers Ashton Asoke condo new hope

The owner of the troubled Ashton Asoke apartment initiative, which has been in lawful limbo for more than a year, may reapply for a building permit in the future, according to the Council of State.

The view of the committee, the government’s legal shoulder, may provide a discovery for tenants and the extravagance high-rise condominium, which was threatened with limited demolition. On Monday, Bangkok lieutenant governor Wisanu Subsompon gave the mayor’s understanding a translate.

In response to a Supreme Administrative Court attempt last year to withdraw the condo’s building permit because the homeowner’s main doorway was not the required length, the BMA contacted the committee for legal consultation.

The BMA contacted the government to suggest ways the apartments and the BMA may follow the judge’s instructions while minimizing the impact on the tenants.

Mr. Wisanu claimed that the council argued that the court’s decision to withdraw the building permit did not invalidate the original permit, leaving the condo essentially without a permit.

The BMA is required by law to direct the condo owner to reapply for a force posthumously without having to completely or partially demolish the building. The removal of the permit has been interpreted as implying that the apartments, which is situated in a desirable neighborhood close to both Sukhumvit and Asoke Montri bridges, had been constructed improperly.

But, the BMA said before the project engineer, Ananda MF Asia Asoke Co, was re-apply for a force within a given period. Users and residents of condominium units have been pursuing a lawsuit against the company for damages.

Mr. Wisanu claimed that the government backed the implementation of the Buildings Control Act, which would prevent tenants from entering the apartments while work on the permit issue was being worked out.
