AP LET CHAU BUILDING DANGEROUS
The Building Authority today declared No. 7, Hung Shing Street
on Ap Lei Chau to be in a dangerous condition.
The Principal Government Building Surveyor said today that this
two storey pre-war building was inspected subsequent to a complaint by
a member of the public.
Further inspections after a statutory order to repair was made
revealed that the extent of decay to the roof was much greater than originally
envisaged and there was danger of collapse of the whole roof.
He said it would be unreasonable to require total reinstatement
because the brickwork and other timber were also defective, and an order to
demolish the whole building will be served.
Notice of intention to apply for a closure order in Victoria District
Court at 9.30 a.m. on January 3 was posted today.
Release Time: 7.00 p.m.
