    North West London landlord convicted for gas safety dangers

    A Harrow-based landlord has been given a suspended jail sentence and fined £10,000

    for putting his tenants’ lives in danger by carrying out illegal gas work at the flats he rented.

    Vespas Sarkari, who rented out five flats in a block on London Road in Wembley,

    was charged with a serious safety breach after an investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

    Southwark Crown Court heard today (27 Jan) that

    Vispasp Sakari was caught ‘red-handed’ on 13 August 2013 carrying out work on a boiler by a visiting National Grid engineer.

    It followed a complaint that the landlord was working on gas fittings in a flat that was home to a family with children.

    HSE found evidence that Mr Sarkari had carried out illegal gas work at the block of flats on a number of occasions,

    despite the fact, he was not Gas Safe registered.

    On the day of the visit by the National Grid, Mr Sarkari was working with another

    person and there was no evidence he was registered either with Gas Safe.

    The court was told that it was only by being registered with the accreditation body

    Gas Safe that an individual or firm was legally entitled to undertake any work on gas fittings.

    Vispasp Sarkari of Hawthorne Avenue, Harrow, north-west London,

    was sentenced to 12 months’ prison, suspended for two years; 150 hours’ unpaid community work;

    fined £10,000 and ordered to pay £9,978 in costs after admitting breaching the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations.

    After the hearing, HSE inspector Lisa Chappell said:

    “The potential consequences arising from using unregistered and possibly incompetent gas

    fitters are significant and well-known. They include serious injury from fire, explosion and carbon monoxide poisoning.

    “The regulations relevant to who should carry out work on gas appliances are unambiguous.

    “As someone carrying out unregistered gas work, and allowing another person to undertake similar illegal work in his properties,

    Vispasp Sarkari put a number of the tenants, their families and friends, at serious risk of harm.”
