What is a Hazardous Structure Order?
A hazardous structure order is a legal document issued by a local authority when a building is deemed unsafe. This can result from routine inspections or complaints about structural defects. Addressing this order is a critical process for ensuring the safety of residents and the public.
Reasons for a Hazardous Structure Order
Several factors can lead to a building being declared hazardous, making early detection and preventive maintenance essential. Common defects include:
- Significant cracks in walls or ceilings.
- Recurring water leaks and moisture damage.
- Faulty electrical or plumbing systems.
- Structural failures like dilapidated stairs or broken railings.
The Process of Removing the Order
Removing a hazardous structure order involves several key steps. First, an expert engineer must conduct a comprehensive inspection and create a detailed report of the defects and proposed solutions. This plan is submitted to the local authority for approval. Once approved, our team carries out the necessary repairs. Finally, a concluding report is submitted to the authority, which then confirms the building's compliance and officially removes the order.
Impact on Residents
A hazardous structure order can be highly disruptive, sometimes requiring temporary evacuation. We understand the stress this causes and work quickly and efficiently to resolve all issues, allowing residents to return to their homes safely and with peace of mind.
The Advantages of Removing the Order
Resolving a hazardous structure order does more than just restore safety. It increases the property's value, making it more attractive to potential buyers or tenants, and prevents potential fines or legal action. It's an investment in the building's long-term economic standing and the well-being of its occupants.
