BUILDINGS AT STONE NULLAH LANE
Declared Dangerous
The Building Authority today declared Nos. 73, 75 and 77, Stone
Nullah Lane, Hong Kong, to be in a dangerous condition and ordered
demolition.
In a statement issued this morning, the Principal Government
Building Surveyor said that these four-storey pre-war buildings were
inspected following a report from another Department, when it was found
that the framing of the reinforced concrete structure was in an advanced
state of deterioration and considered to be beyond reasonable repair.
Apart from the danger of partial collapse, parts of the concrete
work were seen to be loose and liable to fall, causing risk of injury to
the occupants.
Notices of intention to apply for Closure Orders in Victoria
District Court at 9.30 a.n. on July 19, 1972 were posted today.
