<p>It is the responsibility of local authorities and fire and rescue services to ensure
that building owners are complying with their legal obligations to keep their buildings
safe, and from April 2024 the Building Safety Regulator will enforce fire safety in
buildings above 18 metres or seven storeys. Where building owners are stalling remediation
progress, the Government expects regulators to take appropriate action. The Building
Safety Act 2022 grants regulators additional enforcement powers in the form of remediation
orders and remediation contribution orders, which allow them to apply to the First-tier
Tribunal for an order requiring a building owner to fix, and pay to fix, their unsafe
building.</p>
