A total of 328 building plans were processed, with 230 approved and 98 sent back for corrections. The number of submitted plans decreased by 3.08% compared to May.
The council conducted 1,620 inspections, raising about US$14,209.90 from various activities, including inspections and advertising sign processing.

Limited resources have constrained the council's ability to address all dangerous buildings promptly.
