BUILDINGS DECLARED DANGEROUS
The Building Authority today declared the kitchen blocks of
Nos. 91, 93, 95 and 97 Yu Chau Street to be in a dangerous condition. In a statement issued this morning, the Principal Government
Building Surveyor said that these four-storey pro-war buildings were inspected during a routine survey of the area when it was found that
the reinforced concrete columns to the kitchen blocks were seriously
spalled and the steel reinforcement badly corroded.
The condition of these is such that there is risk of collapse
and accordingly notices of intention to apply for Closure Orders of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors of the kitchen blocks in Kowloon District Court
at 9.30 a.m., on March 30, 1973 were posted today.

The area affected is bounded by Smithfield from Lung Wah Street to
Forbes Street; Forbes Street, the west side of Cadogan Street; and Victoria
Road from Cadogan Street to No. 406, including Ka Wai Man Road.
