Basic information
Owners of properties and rooms are obliged to arrange for the cleaning and inspection of systems subject to mandatory sweeping and inspection by an authorized chimney sweep company on their own responsibility and in a timely manner and to provide evidence of this to the authorized district chimney sweep.
Owners are also obliged to inform the authorized district chimney sweep of any changes to their systems that require inspection.
In the case of condominium owners, the obligations apply to the respective owners if the firing systems are located in their separate property. In the case of systems in general ownership, e.g. chimneys and central heating systems, the community of owners is obliged.

Procedure
The district chimney sweep carries out a comprehensive fireplace inspection twice within seven years. After a successful inspection, the fireplace inspection notice is sent to the property owner. All important dates for cleaning and inspection work to ensure operational and fire safety are listed on page 3 of the fireplace inspection notice.
If property owners fail to comply with their legal obligations, the district chimney sweep will report them to the public order office.
