Dear S Rasool,

On 13 April 2021, your Official Information Act request was received by Kāinga Ora.

In this request you asked for:

"I believe the Building Act 1992 is the latest one focusing on the seismic resilience profile against which all the building work is done now as well as strengthening.

I would like to have file in excel *.xls or *.xlsx or *.csv format with the following please;

1) Column A, House Address
2) Column B, province or region
3) Column C, District Council name for said property
4) Column D, Year of construction
5) Column E, Year of Earthquake strengthening (if done on property)"

We will respond to you as soon as practicable no later than 20 work days (no later than 12 May 2021) after we have received your request.

However, what would help us would be if we could clarify your request. Are you wanting data for all houses in New Zealand?

If you have any concerns or queries do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards

David Hammond Senior Advisor
Government Relations
Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities

Dear S Rasool,

Further to my email yesterday it appears likely that your original request will need to be clarified or amended to enable us to respond. Please note, any clarification or amendment of a request is considered to be a new request for the purpose of calculating the maximum statutory timeframe for response—see section 15(1AA) of the OIA.

At the moment with your request it is not really clear what you are wanting which limits our ability to provide the information you want and we may have to decline your request. Are you wanting information about all houses in New Zealand? Or just houses owned by Kāinga Ora - Homes and Communities?

Also, if you have any questions or queries about this or any other aspect of your request please do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards

David Hammond Senior Advisor
Government Relations
Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities
