KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Knoxville city officials say demolition of the remaining McClung warehouse building is set to begin in two to four days.
At a press conference Thursday afternoon, officials say complete cleanup and removal should take four to five weeks at a cost of $127,000. A contractor will be on site Thursday night to assess the property.
A report was released Thursday by structural engineering firm National Resource Management, with the conclusion that the remaining McClung warehouse building is at risk of a "cascading structural failure."
A massive fire broke out early Saturday, which burned through one of the buildings of the historic property on the corner of Broadway and Jackson Avenue. The Knoxville Fire Department demolished that building and the remaining one is set for demolition, though a timeline is unclear.
The report says the roof beams in building four are near collapse and adds: "If a cascading structural failure were to occur, it could destabilize the walls and possibly cause a complete building collapse."
The firm conducted a structural evaluation Tuesday from the Jackson Avenue level and from a Knoxville Fire Department ladder truck.
While building four was seem to be still fully standing, there were signs of extensive damage to the roof, with several areas where the roof was open and charred. Significant failure of roof beams was noted in those areas.
The report recommends demolishing what remains of building five and all of building four. It also recommends not reopening Jackson Avenue for public access or allowing people to return to the businesses and homes on the south side of the street until the building is demolished or stabilized.
The report was released the same day that an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was used to survey the damage on the remaining building.

Demolition on remaining McClung building to begin in 2-4 days
Rick Haney fondly recalledchildhood memories Wednesday of life in Manor Homesin the early 1950s when the Rock Island housing project wasnew.
One of two sons of Korean War veteran John "J.W." Haney and his wife, Betty, he said the family was among the early residents of barracks-style housing complex, living there for about three years while his father worked at the Rock Island Arsenal.
"But time moves on," he said just minutes before an excavator tore with ease through the roof and sidewall of one of Manor Homes' buildings.
The Rock Island Housing Authority complex, located on more than four acres at9th Street and 26th Avenue, is being demolished to make way for a new Lynden Lane housing subdivision being built by the housing agency. As part ofthe authority's2008/2009 Asset Management Plan, it was determined that the property needed to be replaced because of its declining condition.
"It's so weird to watch this; you work so hard to keep these buildings up,"authority executive director Susan Anderson said as she watched crews begin what will be a four-week demolition process. "But you've got to see it go to get to the new one."
The complex, built in 1952, was at capacity with 102 families 346 individuals when the demolition was announced in April 2012, said Gail Brooks, the authority's public relations coordinator.
"The relocation was complete the 1st of November with 24 homeowners coming out of this. That was awesome," she said, adding that 53 people were moved out of subsidized housing. The vast majority of Manor Homes residents were refugees from Myanmar (formerly Burma), and most of them became homeowners.
Anderson said the Lynden Lane neighborhood will have 55single-family and townhomes as well as new streets and infrastructure, including water, sewer, gas and electric lines. "It will be a whole new layout," she added.
While the majority of the rental homes will be built at 2601 7th St., two additional four-bedroom homes will be constructed on parcels about 1.5 miles northeast of the Manor Homes site. The new homes will be one- and two-story wood-frame homes, similar to the single-family starter homes and duplexes in the area.
Morrissey Construction Co. of Godfrey, Ill., is in charge of demolition and construction of the new development, which is expected to take two years.

A five-bill package intended to strengthen the city's regulation of demolition practices, impose more requirements on contractors and demand closer supervision by city inspectors won unanimous passage in City Council Thursday.
Many of the changes such as requiring safety plans as part of an application for any demolition permit - have already been implemented by the Nutter administration, spurred by the building collapse last June that killed six people at 22nd and Market streets.
Other elements of the legislation include:
Experience requirements and safety training for all demolition contractors, with enhanced background checks on their work history and finances.
A requirement that all demolition workers complete a 10-hour safety course developed for the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Mandatory site inspections by the city's Department of Licenses and Inspection.
Mandatory safety training for city inspectors and their supervisors, and a requirement that contractors hire independent safety monitors for their work sites.
"All of these things will come together, along with some money in the budget, that will help us be a little safer," said Curtis Jones Jr., chairman of the Council committee that developed the legislation.
