Description
This determination considers a notice to fix issued in relation to building work carried out to construct two huts and associated structures without a building consent.
The determination discusses whether, at the time the notice was issued, the building work was exempt from the requirement to obtain a building consent under Schedule 1 of the Act, and the form and content of the notice.
Decision
In accordance with section 188 of the Building Act 2004, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment determines the work to construct the veranda and the porch contravened section 40 at the time the second notice was issued.
However, the second notice to fix did not meet the requirements of section 165 and is reversed.
