DANGEROUS BUILDINGS IN SHAU KEI WAN
Three pre-war buildings in Shau Kei Wan 79, 81 and 83
Shaukiwan Main Street East -- were today declared dangerous by the
Building Authority.
The Principal Government Building Surveyor said that these
two and three storey buildings were inspected following the partial
roof collapse of 77 Shaukiwan Main Street East, which was subsequently
closed under an emergency closure order on the 11th of this month.
He said there is a risk of collapse as the timber work is in
an advanced state of decay and there are many areas of defective brickwork
which have rendered the buildings dangerous.
Notices of intention to apply for closure orders in Victoria
District Court at 9.30 a.m. on August 14 were posted today.
Release time: 7.00 p.m.
