Its owners, the United Church of Tonga, claim the land’s significance as home to the first Tongan congregation in New Zealand is being neglected by Auckland Council, in favour of its history as an orphanage, preventing the site from being developed.
Because of the building's status as a category one historic place and a stalemate with Auckland Council, Carlile House cannot be repaired or demolished.
However, the situation has recently become of higher concern to both parties, following the recent partial collapse of the building’s roof.

NZ Post has confirmed uniforms were stolen during a break-in at one of its depots in east Auckland on April 25 – three days before the CCTV video was shot.
It's understood one of the items was a gift intended to be used in a kindergarten fundraiser.
The CCTV footage was recorded at the Onehunga apartments just before 3pm on Wednesday, a resident said.
A police spokesman confirmed they’d received a report relating to the apartment theft last night, and police were looking to speak to the two women in the video.
“If members of the public know those involved they can provide information to police by calling 105 and quoting the file number 210429/3091.”
NZ Post told Stuff the company was working with police as it investigated the recent break-in and theft of courier uniforms and mail.

The 1st Auckland Cavell Girl Guide Unit turns 100 in July and is seeking old girls to join the celebrations.
A social afternoon is planned for July 3, kicking off at 2pm with past guiding activities such as knot tying and marking arm slings.
Guests will be treated to afternoon tea and a birthday cake before photographs are taken of the girls.
The day will end with a singalong around the campfire.
The next day, a church parade will march through St Andrews Church, Epsom, where the unit has been meeting since 1921.
Parishioners are invited to a morning tea after the procession.
The unit, initially known as the St Andrew's Peace Scout Group, is believed to be the first guide company which has kept going since it was launched.
It all started when eighteen-year-old Mona Burgin wrote to the Dominion chief scout Colonel Cosgrove, a New Zealand Boer War veteran, asking about Girl Peace Scouts.
He arranged to meet her in Queen St, Auckland and wrote she would recognize him by the red flower in his buttonhole.
Soon after the meeting Burgin formed the troop on July 6.
Girl Peace Scouts wore khaki uniforms and the St Andrews troop wore a red open-ended tie.
In 1923, the Dominion Council became affiliated with the original Girls Guides Association in London.
*Former unit members can email cavellgirlguidesnz@gmail.com for details of the centenary.

It is of the Queensland Blue variety. The original plant was grown from a seedling found growing on the ground in my garden, then transplanted to one of the raised vegetable gardens. 😃 I'll definitely be keeping the seeds!!!!!!!! 😃
