Chapter 4: Enforcement sanctions

This chapter focuses on the enhanced enforcement measures introduced by the Building Safety Act 2022 to ensure compliance with building safety regulations. It covers mechanisms such as stop notices and compliance notices, which empower the Building Control Authority to halt unsafe construction activities and mandate corrective actions. The chapter also outlines a significant 2024 legal ruling where the government successfully compelled a pension fund’s property business to address fire safety defects in a residential tower block, marking a victory for affected leaseholders.
