DANGEROUS BUILDINGS IN BONHAM STRAND
The Building Authority today declared Nos. 8, 10 and 12 Bonham Strand
to be in a dangerous condition and Nos. 6 and 14 Bonham Strand liable to
become dangerous.
In a statement issued this morning, the Principal Government Building
Surveyor said that No. 8 was inspected in the course of a routine inspection
in connection with an application to demolish an adjoining building.
This inspection revealed that the rear walls of the building were
badly fractured and bulged while the chimney stack and wall above the kitchen
roof were in such a condition that there is risk of collapse.
The adjoining buildings at Nos. 10, 12 and 14 Bonham Strand were also
inspected and extensive fracturing of the party wall between Nos. 10 and 12
was observed together with extensive decay to timber work, indicating the risk
of a collapse.
No. 6 and No. 14 Bonhan Strand are considered to be liable to become
dangerous during or after the demolition of adjoining buildings due to fractures
in party walls.
Notices of intention to apply for Closure Orders in Victoria District
Court at 9.30 a.m. on April 3, 1973 were posted today.
No Closure Order is required for Nos. 6 and 10 Bonham Strand as these
buildings have already been vacated and sealed.
