Dangerous Structures
When it is brought to our attention that a building or structure is dangerous and puts the public or occupiers at risk, the Building Act requires us to ensure that the owner removes the danger. In practice Building Control officers discuss requirements and agree a time scale for the work.If the danger is imminent and contacting the owner impracticable or the owner cannot do the work, emergency action may be taken to safeguard the public and the cost recovered from the owner.
