Z1 Building owner notifications by the AHJ.
Z1.1 Notification to building owners of covered commercial buildings by the AHJ. Based on records obtained from each county assessor and other available information sources, the AHJ must create a database of covered commercial buildings and building owners required to comply with the standard established in accordance with this section. The database may include buildings and building complexes presumed to meet the definition of covered commercial building and multifamily buildings greater than 50,000 square feet in floor area.
Z1.1.1 The database will contain information about buildings that may be subject to compliance, their owners, and information about multifamily residential buildings eligible for incentives. The database will also contain information to assist tracking and reporting on building owner compliance, and incentive application and distribution. Commerce will create a method for tracking building owner notification responses. Each building or building complex will be assigned a unique building identifier.
Z1.2 By July 1, 2021, the AHJ must provide the owners of covered commercial buildings with notification of compliance requirements. Notifications will be mailed to the mailing addresses county assessors have on file.
Z1.3 Failure by the AHJ to provide the notification in Z1.2 does not release the building owner of the legal obligation to comply with this law.
Z1.4 By July 1, 2021, the AHJ must provide notifications to the building owners of multifamily residential building where the floor area exceeds fifty thousand gross square feet, excluding the parking garage area.
Z2 Building owner response to notifications.
