AND
THE BUILDING AT 150 HAS A CONCRETE BALCONY AT ITS FRONT AND SIDE PARTS ON THE FIRST FLOOR, WHILE THE BUILDING AT 149 HAS A SMALL TWO-STOREY KITCHEN ANNEX AT THE SIDE. THE KITCHEN ANNEX HAS CONCRETE FLOOR AND ROOF ON LOADBEARING WALLS.
THE STRUCTURE AT 150 IS GENERALLY
IN A VERY DILAPIDATED
CONDITION. THE CONCRETE COLUMNS SUPPORTING THE BALCONY AND PART OF THE BALCONY FRONTING SAN HING BACK STREET HAVE SEVERE CRACKS.
THE ROLLED STEEL JOISTS PROVIDING ADDITIONAL SUPPORT ΤΟ THE FRONT BALCONY OVER SAN HING BACK STREET ARE ALSO IN A VERY DILAPIDATED CONDITION.
