For building owners

The obligations sit with you, not your tenant, not your property manager and not your contractor. Here is the short version of what that means.

  1. 01

    The duty is yours

    Section 108 places the obligation to supply the Building Warrant of Fitness on the owner. A tenant occupying the building does not carry it, however large or public-facing that tenant is. If a lease says otherwise, that is a matter between you and your tenant — it does not move the statutory duty.

  2. 02

    The date is not the one you think

    Your warrant is due on the anniversary of the day your compliance schedule was first issued. Not the calendar year, not the anniversary of your last warrant, and buying the building does not reset it.

  3. 03

    You have to keep the records

    Section 110 requires you to obtain annual written reports signed by whoever carried out each procedure, keep them with your compliance schedule for two years, and produce them on request.

  4. 04

    The exposure is real but avoidable

    The maximum penalties are considerably higher than most of the industry quotes. All of it runs to a schedule that is known a year in advance, which is what makes it avoidable.
