BUILDING LIABLE TO BECOME DANGEROUS
***
THE BUILDING AUTHORITY TODAY DECLARED NO. 452 RECLAMATION STREET, KOWLOON TO BE LIABLE TO BECOME DANGEROUS.
IN A STATEMENT ISSUED THIS MORNING, THE PRINCIPAL GOVERNMENT BUILDING SURVEYOR SAID THAT THIS THREE-STOREY PRE-WAR BUILDING SHARES A COMMON STAIRCASE WITH NO. 450 RECLAMATION STREET, WHICH IS A CROWN-REVERTED PROPERTY.
+BOTH ARE CONSTRUCTED WITH LOAD-BEARING BRICK WALLS AND TIMBER FLOORS AND ROOFS, THEY HAVE BEEN UNDER SURVEILLANCE SINCE 1970,+ HE SAID.
A DETAILED INSPECTION OF NO. 450 RECLAMATION STREET WAS MADE FOLLOWING A RECENT COLLAPSE OF PART OF THE SECOND FLOOR. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE STRUCTURAL TIMBERS HAD REACHED AN ADVANCED STAGE OF DECAY AND THERE WAS A SERIOUS RISK OF COLLAPSE. THE BUILDING WOULD, THEREFORE. BE DEMOLISHED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
