This three-storey building on the corner of North Road and Oronoque Street is in the process of being demolished. Stabroek News was made to understand that while construction started some time ago, it was only recently that it was discovered that the building was sinking. A source told this newspaper that the building was being taken down because of its poor foundation. “The building doesn’t have any piles so the building is sinking. We decided to take it down for the safety of citizens,” the source said. The owner of the building could not be contacted yesterday for comment. Questions have been raised in the past about the foundations of high-rise buildings. (Photo by Tifaine Rutherford)
