Enforcement

If an EPC and an accompanying Recommendation Report have not been made available to you from the “relevant person” (i.e. the owner, the landlord or the builder) you are entitled to contact the relevant enforcement authority who will pursue the matter on your behalf.

On 3 December 2009, district councils became the enforcement authorities for these Regulations. If you have any enquiries regarding enforcement, or to report non-compliance, these should now be directed to Belfast City Council Building Control who will be co-ordinating enforcement on behalf of all district councils.
