Public Safety Standards

 

We process notices of intention to demolish buildings under the Building Act within statutory time limits having carried out site surveys and consultations with appropriate bodies.

We promptly respond to reports of dangerous buildings and take appropriate measures to remove any danger in order to protect the public.

We carry out regular inspections of sports stadia and premises licensed by the City Council to fulfil the requirements of the Safety at Sports Grounds Act and to maintain safety standards in licensed premises.

We respond promptly to requests to inspect residential houses in multiple occupation if we receive reports expressing concern about fire safety standards.
