### sec.117 Enforcement action required
If there is a contravention of section 114 for a building, the assessment manager must take appropriate enforcement action against its owner.
However, subsection (1) does not apply if the assessment manager is satisfied only building work of a minor nature is needed before a certificate of occupancy can be given for the building.
If a private certifier (class A) gives the enforcement notice and the owner does not comply with it, the certifier must give the local government notice of that fact.
