DANGEROUS BUILDINGS
*
Wednesday, April 11, 1973
The Building Authority today declared No. 2 Lok Hing Lane to be in
a dangerous condition and Nos. 4-6 Lok Hing Lane and 38-40 Pottinger Street
liable to become dangerous.
In a statement issued this morning the Principal Government Building
Surveyor said that No. 2 Lok Hing Lane was inspected following a complaint
received from one of the tenants.
Inspection revealed serious settlement at the rear of this building
and there was a risk of collapse.
The adjoining buildings at Nos. 4-6 Lok Hing Lane and 38-40 Pottinger
Street were also inspected and because of extensive fracturing of the party
walls, together with advanced decay to timber work, it was considered they
were liable to become dangerous during or after the demolition of No. 2 Lok
Hing Lane.
Notices of intention to apply for Closure Orders in the Victoria
District Court at 9.30 a.m. on 15th May 1973 were posted today.
