Overview

• The approximately 4–5 meter wall failed on Sept. 30, obliterating a two-story wooden house and sending debris onto nearby condominium property.
• Ward records show cracks were first noted in 1984, with repeated administrative guidance to owners but no full reconstruction.
• A site check in October last year found the crack had expanded, and the ward placed warning cones as residents reported safety concerns.
• The current owner told the ward on Sept. 24 that reinforcement work would proceed, yet the structure collapsed before any repairs began.
• The ward is conducting visual inspections and crack measurements on 24 other retaining walls through Oct. 3 with further actions possible.
