Statutory repair notice, request information
The municipality can force a property owner to make improvements and repairs on his property within a specified time. This is done through a so-called statutory repair notice or order. Would you like to know if there is a statutory repair notice for a particular property? You can request information about this.
What is it?
The municipality can place a statutory repair notice on the property if the home, temporary shelter, caravan or commercial premises is in poor condition. This means that the property no longer meets the requirements stipulated in the building code, the municipal building regulations or a zoning plan. Examples include requirements for safety, health or environment standards or for the specific use of the premises.
