PENG CHAU BUILDINGS, STRUCTURES DECLARED DANGEROUS
*****
THE BUILDING AUTHORITY TODAY (WEDNESDAY) DECLARED THE REMAINING BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES AT 105 AND 105D WING ON STREET ON PENG CHAU ISLAND TO BE DANGEROUS OR LIABLE TO BECOME DANGEROUS.
ACCORDING TO THE PRINCIPAL GOVERNMENT BUILDING SURVEYOR NUMEROUS BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES ON THE LOT WERE CLOSED ON JANUARY 30, 1986 UNDER AN EMERGENCY ORDER FOLLOWING A FIRE THREE DAYS EARLIER.
OTHER BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES ON THE LOT, ALL SINGLE OR TWO STOREYS IN HEIGHT, WERE NOT AFFECTED BY THE CLOSURE ORDER. HOWEVER, FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THEY WERE EITHER IN AN ADVANCED STATE OF DILAPIDATION OR IN A STATE OF DISREPAIR.
SOME OF THE ROOF COVERINGS HAD BEEN BLOWN AWAY IN NUMEROUS PLACES AND THERE WERE PARTIAL COLLAPSES OF ROOFS IN SOME OF THEM.
