A 25-year-old dilapidated apartment building that housed 30 families was demolished by local authorities in Changshu, east China's Jiangsu province, on Monday, the Yangtse Evening Post reports.
The building reportedly had visible cracks in the walls, a sinking ground and pieces of the building were crumbling within the past 20 days.
The five-story building received a "D" ranking in "health condition," which classified the structure as being more hazardous than the building that collapsed in Fenghua at the beginning of April that killed one and injured six.
Local authorities are reportedly giving every resident evicted from the building 100 yuan (about $16 US) for every day they have spent without a home, with an additional 2000 yuan (about $320 US) being given to each family.
The city government said resettlement measures will be implemented after an investigation.
The building collapses in Fenghua and Changshu mark the beginning of a wave of such disasters, as the "fast food" buildings erected in China's coastal cities throughout the 1980s and 1990s enter 20s and 30s.
