April 20, 20233 yr comment_36138 Hi, I live in an apartment block. There is an OMC and management company. Who is responsible to carry out regular fire safety inspections? The management is not doing it and I don't know if my apartment (mainly the fire doors) are compliant or need to be updated. Thank you Report
April 24, 20233 yr comment_36205 The management company on behalf of the OMC, who have the legal responsibility and liability. Even with a building less than 11m they are responsible for assessing the suitability of flat front doors, the only difference for higher buildings is there is a set inspection frequency as oppose to a risk based one.

April 24, 20233 yr Author comment_36209 thank you. I think my door is not compliant, I'm trying to find out and I'm willing to make it right at my expenses, but if in the meantime something happens I don't want to be considered liable. Should I tell the management company or is that just going to look for troubles as we should have said it earlier? Report
April 28, 20233 yr comment_36342 It's their responsibility to have checked it, not yours so you shouldn't be liable by telling them Report
