Housing Fire and Building Safety Panel

The Housing and Fire Safety Advisory Panel supports Camden Council’s landlord service to meet its regulatory requirements to tenants and leaseholders in relation to the safety of residents’ homes. This includes how the Council monitors the condition of its stock, including damp and mould, as well as compliance with fire, electrical, gas, legionella, asbestos and lift safety checks.

The panel also supports how the Council manages risk of fire by making recommendations and conducting reviews to facilitate effective fire prevention, preparedness, and response and recovery strategies. The Panel scrutinises and advises on the Council’s fire and building safety compliance in line with the Fire Safety Act 2021, Building Safety Act 2022 and the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023. The Panel supports the Director of Property Management in ensuring that tenant and leaseholder voices are at the centre of the Council’s innovative approach to property safety.
