Since the house, located in the vicinity of Bab-al-Magaribe within the city and owned by Abu Al Avdzâde (?) Effendi and Hac Muhammed Taceddin Effendi, is about to collapse, the current danger must be removed in line with the 48. article of the Public Buildings Regulation in effect as regards this matter.
