Dangerous Structures - building control
Owners have a responsibility to others to maintain their buildings/structures so that they do not pose a danger to people, who may live, work or be visiting in their vicinity.
If you are concerned about a dangerous structure you can contact the council at anytime.. Staff are available 24 hours a day to give advice on the course of action or to deal with reported dangerous structures to safeguard the public.
Possible action may include the following:
-
if the building/structure is defective we will inspect and advice the owner of the problem
-
if the building/structure is not immediately dangerous but requires attention we will either notify/serve a notice on the owner to respond and deal with the matter and provide a point of contact
-
if the danger is immediate we will instruct own contractors to remove the immediate danger if the owner is not available or cannot undertake the work required
-
the owner is liable for all our administrative and contractors costs. Where required, owners will be pursued through the courts to progress matters relating to progress and costs.
-
we will always try to give the owner the option to undertake remedial work necessary to remove the danger where possible.
