❓ Hon Dr Steve Thomas is questioning the lack of enforcement of a Building Remedy Order issued by Building and Energy, seeking details on actions taken by the Department of Industry Regulation and Safety and the Building Commissioner to ensure compliance or alternative resolution.

I refer to Building and Energy that Building Remedy Order O2024-18 of the 15 October 2024 that ordered rectification of construction at 30 Hampton Street Bridgetown, and I ask:(a) have the required rectification actions been taken;(b) if no to (a) what action has the Department of Industry Regulation and Safety taken to ensure they are taken;(c) has the Building Commissioner revoked the building remedy order and replaced it with a payment order for the respondent to pay the complainant the reasonable costs of having the building service as described in the order remedied by others;(d) if no to (c) why not;(e) has the Building Commissioner utilised the provisions of section 55 of the Act to transfer the matter to the State Administrative Tribunal for further determination, and if not why not;(f) has the Commissioner decided to take no further action, and if so, why; and(g) if the Building Commission cannot enforce its own decisions, what is the use of it?
