    A property director has been hit with a 54-thousand dollar fine for illegally converting a property into an unsafe boarding house

    A property director has been hit with a 54-thousand dollar fine for illegally converting a property into an unsafe boarding house


    Between mid 2017 and early 2018 Paul Knight pushed ahead with installing prefabricated cabins in Auckland's Manurewa despite council advising it would be unlawful.

    In sentencing, District Court Judge Sheena Tepania says the case demonstrates the purpose of the consenting process.
