New building safety and compliance team
Homes for Haringey has formed a building safety and compliance team that will ensure all buildings meet the national standards.
Scott Kay has been recruited to head the team as a Director of Building Compliance and his role will be to deliver a strategy for building safety.
He will coordinate all activities and ensuring compliance with building and fire safety standards, across the property portfolio, for residential buildings.
Kay said the team will ensure that residents live in safe homes, communities, and neighbourhoods.
“We undertake to monitor our operations so that residents feel safe. After the Grenfell tragedy, many lessons have been learnt, and as a sector, we must make sure nothing like this happens again. We are improving how we engage with residents and listen to their views,” he said.
Kay noted that after the Grenfell disaster, housing associations/landlords must listen more carefully to residents’ concerns and make sure they are addressed.
