PRE-WAR BUILDING IN CENTRAL DECLARED DANGEROUS
The four-storey pre-war building at No. 50 Connaught Road Central
was today declared to be in a dangerous condition by the Building Authority.
The Principal Government Building Surveyor said this morning
the building had been under observation for some time. Despite extensive
shoring, he said, movement in the brick walls had occurred causing fractures
and giving rise to a risk of failure and collapse. Extensive areas of
timber decay had also been detected, he added.
Notice of intention to apply for a closure order was posted on
the building today. The application will be heard in Victoria District
Court at 9.30 a.m. on November 7.
