27B Certain buildings may be treated as within different prescribed class
The Chief Officer or an authorised person may give notice in writing to the owner or occupier of a particular building that the building will be treated as being within a specified class of buildings prescribed under section 27A(1) that is different from the class of buildings to which the building would otherwise be considered to belong.
The notice may be given if, because of the nature of the use of the building or for other reasons, the Chief Officer or authorised person considers it is necessary to reduce the danger from fire or other emergency to life or property.
Section 27A and the Regulations apply in relation to the particular building as if it were within the specified class of buildings.
An owner or occupier of a building who is aggrieved by a notice under subsection (1) may request the Commissioner to review the notice, or a requirement arising as a result of the issue of the notice, and section 26(2), (3), (4) and (5) applies (with the necessary changes) as if the notice were a notice issued under section 26(1).
