For new or altered buildings, the first certificate, called a fire safety certificate, must be furnished for each new or altered essential fire safety measure. No fee applies.
At least once within every 12 months after the fire safety certificate is completed, an annual fire safety statement must be supplied to the City, certifying a qualified person has inspected the building and found fire-safety measures meet relevant standards.
For existing buildings, every year, within 12 months of the date of the previous Annual Fire Safety Statement, the owner of a building must submit an Annual Fire Safety Statement to the City certifying that each of the measures listed in the most recent fire safety schedule installed on the premises remain capable of operating to the standards listed in the schedule.
