MID-LEVEL BUILDING DECLARED DANGEROUS
The Building Authority today declared No. 1A Monmouth Terrace
on Hong Kong Island to be in a dangerous condition.
In a statement, the Principal Government Building Surveyor said that this two-storey building, which forms part of No. 1 Monmouth Terrace, was inspected as a result of fractures observed during the inspection of
adjoining buildings.
He said there was evidence of continuing movement in the walls
indicating risk of failure leading to a collapse.
There is no evidence at this juncture that the condition of
this building is connected with the slip area nearby at present under
observation," he said.
A notice of intention to apply for a closure order was posted
today. The case will be heard in the Victoria District Court at 9.30 a‚0,
on September 3.
