LONDON, ONT. -- Staff with the City of London have recommended six buildings for demolition, three of which are derelict, and the other three are needed for projects such as BRT and the Adelaide Street underpass.
A derelict building is torn down after no actions have been taken by property owners to maintain the buildings despite orders from the city.
The cost of demolition are billed to the property owner.
Here are the three buildings listed as derelict to be torn down by the city.
152 Adelaide St. N.
A single-storey home along Adelaide Street near Hamilton Road.

The two properties were acquired by the City to support the Adelaide Street underpass project. Due to their current condition, they are recommended for demolition.
