Report of Sanitary Inspector, Bow West Division
Public Health Department,
December 31st, 1912.
To the Medical Officer of Health.
Sir,—
I beg to lay before you my twenty-third Annual Summary of the
Sanitary work carried out in my Division during the year ended 31st
December, 1912, as follows:—
Inspections on complaints of nuisances 1,178
Do. on notifications of infectious diseases 417
Do on house-to-house visitation 29
Do Canal Boats 38
Re-inspections 1,336
Making a total of 2,998 visits.
Details and results of such inspections from time to time have been
entered in the book kept for that purpose, as prescribed by the Public
Health (London) Act, 1891.
Of the total number (1,624 houses and other premises) of primary
inspections made, I found that various works of sanitary amendment
were needed to be carried out in 27.15 per cent. of the premises thus
inspected—requiring the service of 441 written intimations, 292 statutory,
and 27 final notices. In many of these cases, on the service of the
usual written intimations, which in all cases precede the service of
statutory notices, the required works were executed by the respective
persons liable, but in no case was it found necessary to have recourse
to legal proceedings to ensure enforcement.
Housing, Town Planning, etc, Act, 1909.
15 cases "Representations" were made, followed by "Closing
Orders ":—
Victoria Cottages, Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17
and 18.
