Mr. Ernie Hardeman
MPP Oxford
Chair
Standing Committee on Social
Policy
99 Wellesley Street West
Room 1405, Whitney Block
Toronto, On M7A 1A2
Dear Mr. Hardeman:
Re: Draft Bill 20, An Act to Amend the Building
Code, 1992
It is our understanding that the
Standing Committee of Social Policy is considering the above noted draft
Bill. It is also our understanding that
many stakeholders were not notified of the proposed deliberations and thus were
unable to provide comments as to the potential impacts of the proposed
amendment to the Building Code Act.
The proposed Bill raises a number
of concerns both from a policy and practical standpoint. Since the adoption of the Building Code Act
and Ontario Building Code in 1974 and 1975 respectively, the building
regulatory regime has focused on new construction with building
officials reviewing proposed construction plans and then inspecting actual
construction at various stages of completed construction and taking action to
ensure compliance before occupancy. To date, the Code has been enforced
on a going forward basis only as there is no retroactivity in the application
of the Building Code standards.
The draft Bill is proposing that
municipalities commence to enforce maintenance and rehabilitation standards, a
significant deviation from the present regulatory regime’s approach to ensuring
minimum building standards are incorporated into new construction
province-wide. The specialized
resources, permit review and inspections processes, support and record systems,
processes, by-laws, etc., developed and
introduced to effectively meet the legislative mandate has been entirely
focused on new construction. To introduce
the proposed change in direction, that of imposing minimum standards retroactively,
would require an in depth review and determination of impacts and resource
requirements, etc.
The proposed draft Bill would have
this municipality, undertaking activities that
·
would tax our limited
resources
·
would increase our exposure to risk liability (if an inspector
is inspecting the installation of the detector, how will he/she proceed through
the building without noting other conditions considered to be unsafe? How
will the City be able to avoid liability because an unsafe condition was not
observed and acted upon when the Inspector reviewed the installation of the
detector – to what extent should the Inspector inspect in order to ensure the
City would not be exposed to liability should there be other deficiencies or
hazards?)
·
Would not be cost
recoverable – the City would expend at least $200 in costs per dwelling unit to
enforce the installation of a $10 - 20 detector. A fee of at least $200
will be considered disproportionate to the cost of the detector and thus
unacceptable by the building owner.
There are other opportunities that
should be explored before mandating the installation of these detectors in
older buildings, such as incentive programs the Province could introduce that
reward prudent and responsible building owners.
Public education, voluntary compliance and incentives would burden
municipalities and the Province to a lesser degree than a mandatory decree and
enforcement activities to ensure compliance.
We urge the Provincial Standing
Committee to consider seeking input from various stakeholders, such as
municipalities, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Large
Municipalities Chief Building Officials group, the Ontario Building Officials
Association, building owners, etc prior to finalizing the review of the draft
Bill. While we support any initiative
that improves public safety, we recommend that such initiative be pursued with
the involvement of stakeholders.
Thank you for your attention in
this matter.
