A block of terraced housing in east London is to be demolished after a member of the public noticed cracks.
Seven residential properties in the Gibbons Building on Amhurst Road in Hackney will be pulled down after it was deemed they were structurally unsound and posed "an immediate risk to public safety".
Eight people have been forced to leave their homes.
Amhurst Road is closed between Mare Street and Pembury Junction.
The cracks were reported to the London Fire Brigade on Friday night.
A Hackney Council spokesperson said: "Hackney Council has arranged for the urgent controlled demolition of 1-5 Amhurst Road following reports that the building has become structurally unsound and posed an immediate risk to public safety."
The building which is being demolished survived a fire which destroyed the property next to it "years ago", BBC London 94.9's Anna O'Neill reported.
The end block will be pulled down before the rest of the terrace will be assessed to see what damage has been done, she said.
Councillor Vincent Stops, chairman of Hackney Council's planning committee, tweeted: "Saddened by the news that 1-5 Amhurst Road AKA the Gibbons Building is to be demolished for structural safety reasons. Really sad."
A Travelodge is currently under construction in the adjacent car park.
Access to Hackney Central Overground station has also been restricted to pedestrians via the northern entrance.
