BUILDING IN SHANGHAI STREET DECLARED DANGEROUS
The Building Authority today declared two four-storey pre-war
buildings at Nos. 693 and 693A Shanghai Street, Kowloon to be in a
dangerous condition.
In a statement issued this morning; the Principal Government
Building Surveyor said that in the course of routine inspection the
reinforced concrete framing, floors and roofs of these buildings were
found to show signs of deterioration.
The owner was ordered to remove all loose material and open-up
portions of the structure for investigation and on compliance with this
order it was found that the deterioration was in an advanced stage and
beyond reasonable repair.
Notices of intention to apply for Closure Orders in Kowloon
District Court at 9.30 a.m. on July 19, 1972 were posted today.
