Wash. Admin. Code § 194-50-150

Current through Register Vol. 24-23, December 1, 2024

Section 194-50-150 - Normative Annex Z-Washington state Tier 1 covered buildings reporting requirements-This is a normative annex and is part of the Tier 1 covered building requirements of this standard

Z1Building owner notifications by the AHJ.

Z1.1Notification to building owners of covered 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 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 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 multi-family 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 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. When a covered building undergoes a change of ownership, it is the buyer's responsibility to contact the AHJ and update the covered building's profile.

Z1.4 By July 1, 2021, the AHJ must provide notifications to the building owners of multifamily residential building where the floor area exceeds 50,000 gross square feet, excluding the parking garage area.

Z2Building owner response to notifications.

Z2.1Correction of errors.Building owners are responsible for reviewing the property and building information provided by the AHJ through notification including, but not limited to, building or building complex ownership details, gross floor area, and other information as identified by the building owner.

Z2.1.1Correction of errors documentation form.Building owners who are notified in error may submit a correction form to the AHJ. The correction form will be used to document gross floor area (conditioned and unconditioned) and/or building type. Building owners that submit the correction form must also submit the documentation required to demonstrate an exception as required in Section Z4.1 prior to the compliance date if applicable.

Z3 Washington state reporting requirements for building owners.

For applicants that submit a noncompliance mitigation plan and who submit documentation demonstrating completion, daily penalties will be assessed from the scheduled compliance date to the date of approval of compliance or conditional compliance. The penalty will be assessed at an amount not to exceed 30 percent of $5,000 plus a daily amount equal to 20 cents per square foot of gross floor area per year.

b.Without completion documentation. For applicants that submit a noncompliance mitigation plan but have not submitted documentation demonstrating completion, if the building does not comply with the standard by the next compliance date, the building owner will be assessed the maximum penalty of $5,000 plus a daily amount equal to one dollar per square foot of gross floor area per year not to exceed a value greater than 18 months of accrued penalty.

Z5.4.1.2Choose to pay the fine rather than pursuing compliance.Building owners may choose to respond to the NOVI by paying the maximum penalty. The building owner will be assessed the maximum penalty of $5,000 plus a daily amount equal to one dollar per square foot of gross floor area per year not to exceed a value greater than 18 months of accrued penalty.

Z5.4.2Late fees. When assessed penalties are not paid within 180 days of the date of a final order assessing penalties, the AHJ may assess further penalties. Total penalties assessed for Tier 1 covered buildings will not exceed $5,000 plus a daily amount equal to one dollar per square foot of gross floor area per year.

Z5.4.3Interest. Interest will accrue on civil penalties pursuant to RCW 43.17.240 if and when the debt becomes past due.

Z5.5Due date and collection of penalties.

Z5.5.1Penalties due. Penalties shall become due and payable on the later of:
