DWELLINGS OF THE POOR.
Of the 76 houses closed as unfit for human habitation in 1884, by
order of the Magistrate, only seven (in Elliott's Place, Essex Road,)
still remain unoccupied, no attempt having been made to put these
houses into such proper sanitary condition as to render them fit for
habitation
The houses which I reported to the Vestry under Torrens' Act,
viz.:—Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16,
Aston Buildings, Holloway Road, and Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5, Nelson Place,
Ronald's Road, and which the Vestry, in October last, directed to be
demolished, have been pulled down by the Owners.
Nothing has up to the present apparently been done by the
Council with regard to the 52 houses (known as Concord Buildings,
Norfolk Court, Norfolk Square, Norfolk Gardens, Lindsey Cottages, and
several houses in the Morton and Ecclesbourne Roads), which I reported
last year to the London County Council as and area for an improvement
scheme under the Act of 1875.
REGISTRATION OF HOUSES LET IN LODGINGS, OR OCCUPIED
BY MEMBERS OF MORE THAN ONE FAMILY.
(29 & 30 Vic., cap. 80, sec. 35, & 37 & 38 Vic., cap. 89, sec. 47.)
The 327 houses upon the register, have been in.pected during
the year, and the regulations made with respect to houses let in lodgings,
or occupied by members of more than one family duly enforced.
About 225 notices were served for non.compliance with the
regulations, but in no instance was it found necessary to take legal
proceedings in order to enforce the carrying out of the same.
