+
+TypeScript's "declaration merging" supports merging separate declarations with the same name.
+
+Declaration merging between classes and interfaces is unsafe.
+The TypeScript compiler doesn't check whether properties are initialized, which can cause lead to TypeScript not detecting code that will cause runtime errors.
+
+```ts
+interface Foo {
+  nums: number[];
+}
+
+class Foo {}
+
+const foo = new Foo();
+
+foo.nums.push(1); // Runtime Error: Cannot read properties of undefined.
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+<!--tabs-->
+
+### ❌ Incorrect
+
+```ts
+interface Foo {}
+
+class Foo {}
+```
+
+### ✅ Correct
+
+```ts
+interface Foo {}
+class Bar implements Foo {}
+
+namespace Baz {}
+namespace Baz {}
+enum Baz {}
+
+namespace Qux {}
+function Qux() {}
+```
