BUILDING DECLARED DANGEROUS
At Jervois Street, Hong Kong
The Building Authority today declared No. 67 Jervois Street Hong Kong

In a statement issued this morning, the Principal Government Building
Surveyor said that this four storey pre-war building has been under observation
for three years following the demolition under order of the rear kitchen block.
Fractures in the brickwork of the rear main wall show signs of recent
movement and the continuing deterioration of roof and floor joists gives rise to
the possibility of a collapse.
Notice of intention to apply for a Closure Order in Victoria District
Court at 9.30 a.m. on July 12, 1972 was posted today.
