Housing Enforcement Policy

Yes

The report will set out the detail of the proposed NYC housing enforcement policy, which is required in order for us to deliver our statutory duties in relation to housing standards in the private sector.

Consultation was undertaken initially as part of the LGR work streams. The policy has been developed based on the good practice of other authorities, through information sharing at regional and national meetings. A housing enforcement workshop was utilised to discuss the key points of the policy amongst all staff delivering housing enforcement.
