Tenants and leaseholders living in high-rise buildings
If you live in a high-rise building, it is important to know about the safety requirements as laid out by the Building Safety Act
A high-risk building is defined as being 18 metres or more in height or having 7 or more storeys and containing at least 2 flats.
Under this act, landlords have new responsibilities, including:
-
registering and certifying each high-risk building and producing a building safety case report which combines all safety information specific to that building and plans to mitigate risks
-
creating and implementing a resident engagement strategy for each high-risk building
-
establishing a system to investigate building safety complaints from tenants, leaseholders, and household members
Thurrock Council is responsible for 12 High-Rise Residential Buildings (HRBs), each meeting the criteria of either being over 18 metres in height or having 7 or more storeys. These buildings are located across Grays, Tilbury, and Chadwell St Mary, and range between 13 to 15 floors (excluding ground). Collectively, they contain a total of 813 flats.
