101: Owner must comply with requirement for compliance schedule

You could also call this:

“You must get a special safety checklist for your building or you could be fined.”

You need to get a compliance schedule if it’s required for your building under section 100. If you don’t get the compliance schedule when you’re supposed to, you’re breaking the law. If you’re found guilty of not getting a required compliance schedule, you could be fined up to $20,000. If you keep breaking this law, you could be fined up to $2,000 more for each day you don’t follow the rules.
