John Liong Kiat Wong pleaded guilty to four charges of breaching the Building Act and RMA in Auckland District Court.
It was found Wong had converted an Eden Terrace warehouse into an office and apartment building, without consent.
Two years ago - a concrete block fell from the building on to a neighbour's roof - narrowly missing a skylight.
