BUILDING DECLARED DANGEROUS
No. 16 Wa In Fong West
The Building Authority today declared No. 16 Wa In Fong West
to be in a dangerous condition and ordered demolition.
In a statement issued this morning, the Principal Government
Building Surveyor said that this three-storey pre-war building was
inspected following a report from another Government Department.
It was found that the brickwork of the main flank wall,
adjoining a In Fong East is badly eroded, bulged and fractured and
there were signs of movement in the walls of the kitchen block.
As there is a risk of collapse, notice of intention to apply
for a Closure Order in Victoria District Court at 9.30 a.m. on May 31
was posted today.
Release Time: 6.45 p.m.
