This link quotes outdated (2013-18) legislation and not the new changes. Can we have some clarity of who may do the inspections? Surely it’s not like fire safety inspections where detailed specialist knowledge is required?
What I’m suggesting is that an OC themselves can be authorised to arrange for the inspection (and replacement) once a year. This could be delegated to a building manager, or if none, a committee member (which would be ideal for the many small blocks). Obviously there would need to be evidence that this has been done.
