Enforcement against HMOs

We're waiting for Welfare Officer to read recent responses and update the status.

Dear Ceredigion Council,

How many HMOs have you taken enforcement action against from January 2013 until Present (November 2013)?

Out of the enforcement action taken, are you able to say what action this was?

Yours faithfully,

Laura Dickens

FAO Laura Dickens,

 

Your Freedom of Information request of 20^th November 2013 was forwarded
for my attention . After discussing the matter with the relevant service,
please find details below for Enforcement Work and licenses issued with
conditions, undertaken by officers who deal with HMOs since 1^st January
2013,

 

Detail TOTAL
Requisition for Information Notices 3
Notice to Enter and Take Action 1
Enforce Schedule Out Poor Condition 20
Enforce Schedule out Minor Works 113
L.A. propose to refuse HMO Lic 1
HIU Visit (HHSRS Visits) 222
Home Office Simple Caution Issued 3
 

HMO Licences with Conditions for
Improvements 29
HMO Licences Issued without conditions 93
Investigations closed: Issues Resolved or No
further action 100
Category 1 Hazards Works Complete 17
Category 2 Hazards Wrks Complete 30
   

In summary, officers have undertaken 222 Housing Health and Safety Rating
Scheme inspections in HMO Premises through new license applications,
programmed visits and complaints. Of these 20 resulted in Enforcement work
for poor conditions and 113 for minor housing standards breaches. 122
Licences have been issued during the year of which 29 (24%) required
Conditions to be attached , the low number of conditions is likely to be
due to high numbers of re licence applications currently going through who
have been in the licencing system for 5 years or more and therefore these
properties have  already improved to acceptable levels. Notice of entry to
undertake works in default has occurred in 1 property containing 5 units
for improvement, 3 investigations notices have been issued, 1 refusal to
licence and 3 cautions for licencing breaches.

 

I hope that this information will be of assistance to you.

 

Many thanks

 

Huw Evans,

Business support Manager

Cyngor Sir Ceredigion County Council
