Government and regulatory bodies have sent a stern warning to building owners to get on with remediation work or face “the full range of their enforcement powers”.
The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) has issued a joint statement with the Building Safety Regulator, the Local Government Association and the National Fire Chiefs Council criticising building owners that are preventing safety work from starting and are still failing to make their buildings safe.
“Building owners who are continuing to stall should know they are running out of time if they are to avoid being forced to act. With the implementation of the Building Safety Act’s new building safety regime and the imminent launch of the Building Safety Regulator, we are tightening the regulatory screw. Regulators will not hesitate to take enforcement action against building owners if they do not comply with their legal duties.”
