Hi I see two issues here.
1.The responsibilities of the Committee.
2. The responsibilities of the fire safety inspectors.
The responsibilities of the SC are Legislated in NSW, but yes a question could and should be asked. Did they use a qualified inspector?
For the inspectors the question is what were they engaged to do. If it is the Annual Fire Safety Inspection that is required by the Local council. Then they are given a safety schedule by the Council and their job is to check the items listed and confirm if they are onsite and they comply with the fire code supplied by council for that item.
Their job is not to do an audit of the property to see if the property complies with the most resent fire codes. A goof company should have sent a separate lost of recommendations that would bring the property up to current standards. But it is not their job to make it comply.
There would not a strata building in NSW that was built before 2000 that would comply with 2021 fire codes unless they have carried out rectification, because the fire codes have changed since the date of construction.
But the good news, you have a report listing the issues. So you will now go and fix them all! The OC is aware of a safety issue then fix them, you don’t have a choice.
