Four pre-war buildings in Central District were today declared

The Principal Government Building Surveyor said in a statement this
morning that the buildings at Nos. 220-226 Des Voeux Road Central were first
inspeeted in connection with Mass Transit proposals.
It was found that the reinforced concrete members of the kitchen
blocks, the rear staircase and landings and the main rear wall were suffering
from extensive spalling together with serious corrosion of the reinforcement,
The condition was such that there was a risk of a failure leading
to collapse.
Notices of intention to apply for closure orders were posted on
the buildings today.
