Legal Requirements in Barnard Castle (England)
Properties in Barnard Castle (Durham, England) fall under English law. The main rules are:
Fire risk assessments
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the 'responsible person' (employer, owner, landlord or whoever controls the premises) for workplaces, premises open to the public and the common parts of multi-occupied residential buildings to carry out and regularly review a fire risk assessment; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this covers the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of such buildings. Since 1 October 2023 (Building Safety Act 2022 section 156) the full assessment and fire safety arrangements must be recorded in writing for all premises, with the name of the assessor, and residents must be given fire safety information. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 (in force 23 January 2023) add duties for buildings with two or more flats: fire safety instructions and fire door information for residents; above 11 metres, quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors; and in high-rise blocks (18 metres or 7 storeys) secure information boxes, floor plans, monthly lift checks and wayfinding signage.
Legislation: Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (SI 2005/1541); Fire Safety Act 2021; Building Safety Act 2022, section 156. Official source: gov.uk
Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
Private and social landlords must fit at least one smoke alarm on every storey that has a room used wholly or partly as living accommodation, and a carbon monoxide alarm in every room used as living accommodation that contains a fixed combustion appliance (gas cookers are excluded). Alarms must be checked as working on the day a new tenancy starts and repaired or replaced once a tenant reports a fault. The regulations do not require mains-wired or interlinked alarms. Councils can impose a penalty of up to £5,000 on a landlord who fails to comply with a remedial notice.
Legislation: Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015; Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regulations 2022 (in force 1 October 2022). Official source: gov.uk
