s 7 Category 2 hazards: powers to take enforcement action
(1) The provisions mentioned in subsection (2) confer power on a local housing authority to take particular kinds of enforcement action in cases where they consider that a category 2 hazard exists on residential premises. (2) The provisions are— (a) section 12 (power to serve an improvement notice), (b) section 21 (power to make a prohibition order), (c) section 29 (power to serve a hazard awareness notice), (d) section 265(3) and (4) of the Housing Act 1985 (power to make a demolition order), and (e) section 289(2ZB) of that Act (power to make a slum clearance declaration). (3) The taking by the authority of one of those kinds of enforcement action in relation to a particular category 2 hazard does not prevent them from taking either— (a) the same kind of action again, or (b) a different kind of enforcement action, in relation to the hazard, where they consider that the action taken by them so far has not proved satisfactory.
