The
Housing and Fire Safety Advisory Panelsupports Camden Council’s landlord
service to meet its regulatory
requirements to tenants and leaseholders in relation to the safety
of residents’ homes. This includes how the Council monitors
the condition of its stock, including damp and mould, as well as
compliance with fire, electrical, gas, legionella, asbestos and
lift safety checks.
The panel also supports how
the Council manages risk of fire by making recommendations and
conducting reviews to facilitate effective fire prevention,
preparedness, and response and recovery strategies. The Panel
scrutinises and advises on the Council’s fire and building
safety compliance in line with the Fire Safety Act 2021, Building
Safety Act 2022 and the Social Housing
(Regulation) Act 2023. The Panel supports the Director of Property
Management in ensuring that tenant and leaseholder voices are at
the centre of the Council’s innovative approach to property
safety.
