Description
This determination considers an authority’s decision to issue a notice to fix for work it considered was building work carried out without a building consent when one was required.
The dispute centres on whether the work that was carried out is building work regulated under the Building Act and for which a notice to fix could be issued.
The determination also considers the form and content of the notice to fix.
Decision
In accordance with section 188 of the Building Act 2004, it has been determined that there were grounds to issue notice NF0359.
However, because the particulars of contravention were inadequate and the timeframe for compliance was not reasonable, the notice to fix has been reversed.
