BUILDINGS DECLARED DANGEROUS IN WESTERN
The Building Authority today declared No. 13 North Street,
Western District, to be in a dangerous condition and No. 15 North Street
liable to become dangerous.
In a statement issued this morning, the Principal Government
Building Surveyor said that these four storey pre-war buildings have been
under observation for some years and were recently re-inspected when
it was found that the party wall between Nos. 11 and 13 and the rear
wall were badly fractured and there is a risk of collapse.
It is considered that due to fractures in the rear wall, No. 15
is liable to become dangerous during or after the demolition of No. 13.
Notices of intention to apply for Closure Orders in Victoria District Court at 9.30 a.m. on January 26, 1973 were posted today.
