Description

This determination arises from the decisions of the authority to refuse to issue a code compliance certificate and to issue a notice to fix for 4-year-old alterations to a house because it was not satisfied that elements of the building work complied with certain clauses of the Building Code. The authority's current concerns about the compliance of the alterations relate to the weathertightness of the tiled deck to the house. The matter to be determined is therefore whether the authority was correct in its decisions to refuse to issue a code compliance certificate and to issue a notice to fix for the building work; in regard to the compliance of the tiled deck floor only. In deciding this matter, it must be considered whether the tiled deck as installed on the building (the deck floor) complies with Clause E2 External Moisture and Clause B2 Durability of the Building Code.
