If this is correct that it’s now legislation is this the responsibility of the owners corporation to ensure everyone is compliant?Also I If they aren’t compliant, apart from being a safety issue which is bad enough, but could this effect our insurance policy as well?
It is the OC’s responsibility to make sure that strata lots are accessible for checking by fire safety inspectors.
If the smoke detectors are hard-wired to a central control box, they are the OC’s responsibility. If they are separate, stand-alone detectors inside the unit, they are the lot owners’ responsibility.
