Original Audit Finding Excerpt
"The NHA Management permitted the contractor to commence construction of the proposed 12-storey commercial/office building with a roof deck (previously the 19-storey NHA Office Tower) with a contract amount of P2.140 billion without a building permit, due to the non-compliance with the building height limit under the Quezon City Zoning Ordinance, contrary to Sections 301 and 303 of the National Building Code of the Philippines (PD No. 1096), resulting in the delayed implementation of the project and increased the risk of financial loss for NHA."
