A filling station in the area was one of the buildings earmarked to be demolished as at the time of filing this report.
Mr Quaye said the demolition exercise had become necessary following deadly floods which caused about 150 deaths in Accra Wednesday.
He said the exercise will move on to parts of Ofankor and Amansaman.
Experts have expressed the view that building of houses on waterway is a major cause of flooding in Accra.
