Penalties for Non-Compliance in Stony Plain: Under the Alberta Fire Safety Act, a Safety Codes Officer acting as Authority Having Jurisdiction may issue a stop-use order for any commercial occupancy where fire protection systems are non-compliant. A stop-use order prevents building occupancy until the deficiency is corrected and re-inspected — meaning lost revenue, tenant disruption, and potential lease liability. Insurance claims against non-compliant properties may also be reduced or denied. Activate's digital inspection reports through BuildingReports provide timestamped, photo-documented compliance records your AHJ and insurer both accept.
