DANGEROUS BUILDINGS
Friday, August 3, 1973
The Building Authority today declared 14 and 15 Taeng Lan Shue on
Clearwater Bay Road to be in a dangerous condition. Two other buildings,
16A and 16, in the same village are liable to become dangerous.
The Principal Government Building Surveyor said that these two
storey pre-war buildings were inspected subsequent to a report of a collapse.
It was found that the party wall between 14 and 15, which was
constructed of mud and straw blocks, had collapsed together with the roofs
of both buildings causing damage to the adjoining party walls.
Numbers 16A and 16 are similarly constructed and are liable to become
dangerous during or after the demolition of the adjoining buildings,
Notices of intention to apply for closure orders in Kowloon District Court at 9.30 a.m. on August 24 were posted today.
