Orbit Group failed to carry out ‘high-risk’ fire safety works on hundreds of homes for more than two years, exposing a large number of tenants to increased fire risk danger.
The Homes and Communities Agency, in a regulatory notice today, said that Orbit Group had failed to meet its Home Standard and also to fulfil statutory duties to prevent fire risk.
It has also today had its governance rating downgraded to a compliant ‘G2’ rating as a result.
