110: Owner must obtain reports on compliance schedule

You could also call this:

“The building owner must get yearly reports about safety checks and keep them for two years”

If you own a building that has a compliance schedule, you need to do a few things. You must get written reports every year about the inspections, maintenance, and reporting procedures mentioned in the compliance schedule. These reports need to be signed by the people who did these tasks. They might be independently qualified people or other suitable individuals.

You need to keep these reports and the compliance schedule for two years. When asked, you have to show these reports to the local council (territorial authority) or any person or group that has the right to inspect your building under any law.

You also need to show where these reports and the compliance schedule can be found. This information should be on the building warrant of fitness that you display as required by section 108(4).
