Commentary on Sections Part 4: Standards of Housing Chapter 3: Hazards Section 55: Hazard notice
This section makes arrangements about hazard notices. Such a notice can be served where a council is satisfied that a hazard exists in relation to an HMO. There is also provision for this notice to be treated as an “emergency hazard notice” that can come into operation immediately where there is an imminent risk to any of the occupiers of the HMO.
