This section of the Housing work which is being carried out
systematically and effectively cannot help but have a beneficial
effect, not only upon the health of the people occupying such
premises, but also in improving the amenities of the district.
Housing Inspections—Power of Local Anthority to require
repair of insanitary houses.
Systematic house to house inspections have been carried out
during the year in accordance with the Housing Act and all
dwellings occupied by the working classes, or of a type suitable for
accupation by the working classes, found in any respect unfit for
human habitation, have been subject of notice to repair or
recondition same, when reported upon as being capable of repair at
reasonable expense. 942 dwelling houses were inspected for
housing defects (under the Public Health or Housing Acts) and
381 of such dwellings were examined and particulars recorded
under the Housing Consolidated Regulations, 1925.
Details of those properties dealt with for demolition under
" Slum Clearance" and " individual unfit houses" have been given
in the earlier part of this report.
