Hi All– the strata plan and council records show that the property has carports. Several of these have been enclosed over time without any documented approval and now these owners want their doors replaced. The current agent has referred to some basic notes referring to doors and garage keys and has stated as such, despite what the plans state, they are common property. Is this correct?
–
If these were installed illegally without a corresponding bylaw stating who is responsible for the on going maintenance, the only duty that the Strata has is to return them to their original state (This only applies if owner requesting it is not the owner who installed it). If the owner who installed it is requesting it you can tell him to get lost as it was an illegal install and he (NOT Strata) has to return the structure to it’s original state.
It’s weird that once ownership changes in NSW it becomes Strata responsibility to restore the common property rather than the new owner.
