An NSW Electrical Defect Notice is a form issued by an inspector or authorised person, who believes that a safety defect exists in a building that poses a serious risk to life or property. A DEFECT NOTICE may be issued requiring the building owner to have the defects rectified within a certain time limit, according to the terms of the notification.
Once completed by you, you must notify your insurance company about any electrical defects that are found on your or neighbouring properties. A copy must also be provided to the council's electrical surveyor for further action. The council will send out inspectors once they are informed of these defects so it is important that this information get communicated properly so corrective actions can be taken immediately.
A notice shall be given if there is a serious risk to people's lives and safety due to electrical defects in the home. The notice must be given by an inspector or authorised person, and it can bear requests and requirements that must be satisfied by its addressee. Find a qualified ASP or level 2 electrician in your area to properly resolve the defects outlined.
The form will not only notify your insurance company about any electrical defects found on your or neighbouring properties but also notify the council's electrical surveyor for further action. A copy will also be provided to the Council so inspectors can be sent out as soon as they are informed of these defects which need to be corrected immediately due to the potential risks involved with such hazards. Once completed by you, you may now provide a copy of this document to your insurance company as well as forward the notice onto the council's electrical inspector.
Please note that if another person does not provide you with this document, then the council's authorised person will send it out to you and your insurance company directly.
A notice shall be given if there is a serious risk to people's lives and safety due to electrical defects in the home as stated by an authorised person or inspector. The notice must be given at least five days before handing over such document to its addressee (in this case, the homeowner). It can bear requests and requirements concerning such defects (for example, timeframes for rectification) that must be satisfied by its addressee.
Once completed by you, forward all forms to your insurance company as well as the council's electrical inspector. If another person completes the form instead, then the electrical inspector will send it out to you and your insurance company directly.
