Just because someone said it doesn't make it true. Architects and developers who HAVE fixed up old buildings in worse shape than these have said that they are not at risk of collapse. No one has actually said that they are structurally unsound. The owners have used generic terms such as "done". Very clever, since a thrid party analysis could easily turn them into liars if they outright announced that they were structurally unsound. You can infer "imminent collapse" if you like, but when a land speculator claims that a building is "shot" I'm going to treat that quote for what it is: the opinion of a layman who places the value of an empty lot higher than the value of a heritage building.
