Question:

Answer:
  • Ask your managing agent for a copy of the Intrusive Survey Reports for your building which lead to both the previous and downgraded EWS1 rating. It will help you understand what new information came to light. 

  • Ask your managing agent for a copy of the Fire Risk Assessment for your building. It will help you see what risks have been identified and what actions have been recommended to address the risks.

  • Ask your managing agent if they will be applying to the Building Safety Fund to pay for any remediation work needed.
