    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.
