Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
39
All house-to-house inspections under the Public Health
(London) Act, 1891, are carried out as if these were inspections under
Section 17 of the Housing Town Planning, etc., Act, 1909, and the
results recorded on a special card which was drawn up in 1910,
and has been in use since that date. This method has been found
to work most satisfactorily. Where nuisances are found notices
are served under the Public Health Act, and if the premises are
reported by the Sanitary Inspector to be in a bad condition, I make
a personal inspection in order to determine if the houses are in such
a condition as to be unfit for human habitation. During the year
2,462 house-to-house inspections were made by the Sanitary
Inspectors, and of these 728 were reported to be in a bad condition
or to require serious structural alterations so as to render them
reasonably fit for human habitation.
These were all inspected by myself and 62 were reported to the
Public Health Committee as unfit for habitation. The following
is a list of these premises:—
