Tenants of a Tai Kok Tsui building suspect a pet-cremation company ordered to move out is still operating on the top floor.
They say a strong smell of burning still wafts through the Mow Shing Centre in Bedford Road and they still see bags full of carcasses being carried in and out of the building.
But the Don't Forget Pets Cremation Centre insists it has stopped operations in the building and any burning of animals is done in a building nearby.
Officials of the Home Affairs Department told the Yau Tsim Mong District Council yesterday that the company had recently sent a letter to the landlord of the Mow Shing Centre saying it had demolished the incinerator and believed the matter was settled.
But Winston Chui, owner of a trading company operating on a lower floor, said: 'When the company sent a letter to the building's owners' committee, we all thought it was good news. But next day the smell came back.'
Another tenant, Ms Ho, said she also smelt a burning odour on and off and on September 7 and last Thursday.
