    They are if the fence poses a danger to injury or damage to property. Eg; if the fence was likely to fall and hurt someone, or that winds could cause panels to fly off.

    No, that does not create any compulsion to repair. It simply means that a civil action for any resulting damage is more likely to succeed, if it can be proven that the owner could have foreseen the consequences of their neglect, and then failed to act.
