Dangerous pre-war building to be demolished
A dangerous pre-war building at No 67 High Street, Western District, would be demolished for public safety, the Buildings Department announced today (Wednesday).
A notice of intention has been posted at the building this morning informing the occupants that a closure order would be applied from the Hong Kong District Court on October 10.
The department's Chief Building Surveyor (Dangerous Building), Mr Kwok Yui-chung, said the four-storey building, with timber floors and brick walls, was so dilapidated that it was beyond reasonable repair.
"Some of the timber structures are found to have badly rotten. The brick walls are in an unstable condition and a major crack also appears on the top floor.
