Building - Code compliance certificates, certificates of acceptance, and compliance schedules - Compliance schedules

105: Obligations of owner if compliance schedule is issued

You could also call this:

“Building owners must keep systems working, give yearly proof, and show important information to users.”

If you own a building that has a compliance schedule, you need to do several things. You must make sure that all the specified systems listed in the schedule are working properly and will continue to do so. You also need to give the territorial authority a yearly building warrant of fitness, as explained in section 108.

You have to keep the compliance schedule in a specific place. This can be in the building itself, in another building in the same area, or somewhere else that you and the territorial authority agree on. You need to make sure that anyone who has the right to inspect the building can see the compliance schedule.

For the first year after getting the compliance schedule, you must display a statement from the territorial authority where people who use the building can see it. This statement needs to show what systems are covered by the schedule, where the schedule is kept, and any other required information.
