Before I lawyer up, I just want to find out where I stand.
Is it absolutely clear here these are building defects and as a result should be covered under building insurance – are there grey areas? According to fair trading, this falls under body corp but I assume building warranty would be executed first. https://www.nsw.gov.au/housing-and-property/strata/living/repairs-and-maintenance
If everyone refuses responsibility, can the dept of fair trading step in?
I have a building manager and it is my understanding this is hired by the body corp to take care of issues like this? Is that their role, are they suppose to advocate on my behalf.
How do I find out whether other properties in the complex have the same issues, can strata tell me?
