Our Building Control team has assessed the structure and, although it is substantially fire-damaged, it is currently stable.
Damaged and loose debris has been removed and our Streetscene team have swept roads in the surrounding area to remove any debris.
Building Control will continue to monitor the situation and take any necessary action to ensure there is no danger to the public.
Contact will be made with the owner of the site to arrange for it to be secured once Merseyside Police and Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service have completed their work.
Our Private Sector Housing team will also be checking on the condition of nearby occupied flats.
We will be working closely with relevant authorities on their investigation into the blaze.
