Asbestos certificate and inventory for common parts
Asbestos in stairwells, roof or plant rooms affects the whole co-ownership. As syndic you need to know which certificates exist, what expires and what to bring to the AGM — separate from private units.
The problem
The asbestos inventory sits scattered in emails, folders or with individual owners. You do not know which common parts are inventoried, which certificate matches which inspection, or what to show on a sale or re-inspection.
Legal deadline
Since the asbestos code (Royal Decree 16.03.2022), buildings with a permit application before 1 January 2001 must have an asbestos inventory. Sanctions and transitional rules have partly passed, but documentation duties remain relevant for works, sale and rent. For common parts, organisation usually falls under the co-ownership and syndic management.

How Blokk helps
Blokk is not an inspection body and does not issue asbestos certificates. You can track inspections, expiry dates and certificates per building centrally, with reminders before a deadline. You avoid missing renewals and have documents ready when an owner or notary requests a file.
Full answer
For common parts of a co-ownership the syndic plays a central role in managing documents and deadlines. In practice the office must know which certificate or inventory applies to which zone, where the file sits, and when an inspection or update approaches — especially during works or a sale. Blokk tracks certificates and expiry dates per building next to reports so nothing disappears between inboxes. Private-unit owners often have their own duties when selling their apartment; common parts need an association-level overview. A structured archive with expiry dates reduces the risk of discovering a gap only when the notary asks.
