Enforcement officers struck again at the Sliema Strand yesterday afternoon, removing chairs, tables and planters at Costa Café after finding that permit conditions had been exceeded.
The enforcement officers also removed a 20-centimetre high platform the owner had built.
Neighbours had complained that access to their property had been hindered by the street furniture.
A spokesman for the parliamentary secretariat responsible for lands said this was the second time that the café was the subject of enforcement action. The first was on June 13.
Violation of the law will not be tolerated and such enforcement action would continue, the spokesman said.

Strong and firm enforcement measures and frequent spot checks will make life easier for the residents and teach our bar, cafe and shop owners that you can't have it all.
Wardens please note that parking spaces should available (according to the law) for the cars and the above street furniture, plants or old chairs do not have a license to block parking spaces.
No permits should be given for any type of shop to put street furniture on the pavement.
