Common Mistakes in Ely

• Forgetting that common parts (stairs, corridors, shared kitchens) require an FRA under Article 9 of the RRO 2005 even where rooms are let individually
• Mixed-use buildings (shop below, flats above) where the commercial and residential responsible persons fail to co-ordinate
• Buildings over 11m where monthly flat entrance-door checks are a legal duty under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022
• Not reviewing the assessment after refurbishment, change of use, or new equipment
