(Photo by Chanat Katanyu)The Office of the Auditor-General (OAG) is urging City Hall to strictly enforce building control and fire safety regulations after its audit report showed massive non-compliance despite notices. In its recently-published report on the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration's (BMA) enforcement of building and fire safety laws, the OAG said the city administration faces problems in enforcing orders. As for fire safety, the OAG found all 330 cinemas in 44 buildings across the capital failed to meet legal requirements. In the report, the OAG pointed out the BMA failed to enforce measures to ensure cinema operators comply with fire safety regulations. First, the City Hall needs a database for building control and management, according to the OAG.
