Respond to BSR enforcement action

This means residents face imminent danger. You must:

• Implement protective measures specified in the notice
• Inform residents of the situation
• Seek professional advice from a fire engineer or building safety consultant

Common breaches include: building not registered, no safety case report, golden thread deficiencies, no resident engagement strategy, or missing Building Assessment Certificate.

The BSR can apply to the First-tier Tribunal for a special measures order. If the Tribunal makes the order, it appoints a manager to take over your building safety duties. You lose control but remain liable for costs. Seek legal advice immediately.

• Compliance notice: Appeal to the First-tier Tribunal - the notice states the appeal deadline
• Urgent action notice: Appeal possible, but the notice remains in force unless the Tribunal suspends it
• Special measures: Make representations to the Tribunal before the order is made

Appealing a standard compliance notice suspends it pending the appeal; an urgent action notice is not suspended automatically.

Address the breach, notify BSR in writing when complied, provide evidence, and keep records in your golden thread.

Review your safety case, audit your golden thread, improve resident engagement, and consider engaging competent building safety support. (There is no statutory "Building Safety Manager" role - the duties remain yours as Accountable Person.)
