PRE-WAR BUILDING IN DANGEROUS CONDITION
嚣嚣嚣
THE BUILDING AUTHORITY TODAY (MONDAY) DECLARED A FOUR-STOREY PRE-WAR BUILDING AT 50 WING LOK STREET ON HONG KONG ISLAND TO BE IN A DANGEROUS CONDITION.
IN A STATEMENT, THE PRINCIPAL GOVERNMENT BUILDING SURVEYOR SAID THAT THE BUILDING, CONSTRUCTED WITH LOAD-BEARING BRICK WALLS AND TIMBER FLOORS AND ROOF, HAD BEEN UNDER OBSERVATION SINCE 1974.
RECENT INSPECTIONS HAVE INDICATED SUBSTANTIAL MOVEMENT IN THE LOAD-BEARING BRICKWORK.
THIS, COUPLED WITH AN ALREADY WEAK ROOF DUE TO THE DECAY OF THE TIMBER SUPPORTS, HAS LED TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THERE IS A RISK OF A COLLAPSE.
+ IT IS THEREFORE NECESSARY TO CLOSE AND DEMOLISH THIS BUILDING, + HE SAID.
A NOTICE OF INTENTION TO APPLY FOR A CLOSURE ORDER IN VICTORIA DISTRICT COURT AT 9.30 AM ON NOVEMBER 21, 1983 WAS POSTED TODAY.
