An inspection uncovered exposed wiring, and concerns were raised over the state of the boiler and gas hob.
A landlord has been struck off after inspectors found he had 12 people living in a “recipe for disaster” flat with a series of “electrical defects”.
He did not have a house in multiple occupation licence, which is required by anyone letting a property to three or more people who are not related. It is a criminal offence to operate without a HMO licence, which can lead to a fine of up to £50,000. His son later said his dad “doesn’t understand much English, so when he was on the phone to me, I told him what they were saying”.Later that month, a gas safety certificate and electrical installation condition report were sent to the council. Another inspection found 10 people in the flat, a “number of electrical defects” and raised concerns over the condition of the boiler and gas hob.
He added the electrician said some of his recommendations were “absent” from the documents received by the council.
