PRE-WAR BUILDING IN WANCHAT CONDEMNED
The Building Authority today declared No. 58 Gloucester Road,
Wanchai, to be in a dangerous condition.
In a statement, the Principal Government Building Surveyor said
the four-storey pre-war building had been under observation since 1968.
'Despite some earlier repair the reinforced concrete, particularly
H
to the kitchen block, has continued to deteriorate to such an extent that
it has reached a condition at which repair cannot be satisfactorily carried
out," he said.
It is considered that there is a risk of injury to the occupanta
and ultimately possible failure of some members which could lead to a
collapse.
Notice of intention to apply for a closure order in Victoria District
Court was posted today. Hearing will start at 9.30 a.m. on December 19.
