    I'd suggest taking date and time stamped pictures and sending them to the HA, preferably identifying the resident doing the works.  You need to establish that regular repairs are happening and who is doing these repairs.
    Fortunately I’ve been doing this for the past year or so, though we’ll be much stricter about it from now on. HA have just been on the phone asking us to do just that (and seem to be taking it much more seriously now too). They are resuming their case and picking it up again with local council enforcement (I got the impression things had been on hold due to COVID).
     
    Do the same with planning and EH
    If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales
