102A: Procedure for obtaining compliance schedule where building consent not required

You could also call this:

“How to get a compliance schedule for your building when you don't need a building consent”

If you own a building that needs a compliance schedule as per section 100, but you don’t need to apply for a building consent (for example, if you’re not doing any building work), you still need to get a compliance schedule. To do this, you need to apply to your local council (the territorial authority) using the proper form if there is one.

When you apply, you need to give the council two things. First, you need to describe all the specified systems in your building and the standards they need to meet. Second, you need to explain how you plan to inspect and maintain these systems, and how you’ll report on them.
