Update
The SM advises that he has again searched high and low and there is no record of an acoustic certificate ever provided by the installer of the wooden floor.
SM also informs me that the current owner of the premises with the wooden floor was not the installer/renovator and when asked by the SM, the current owner indicated that she has no such certificate in her possession.
The SM refuses to act on my recommendation to enforce the noise by law or to have the noise verified by an independent party now. The SM wants to wait until the next noise complaint is made.
Must I wait? Is the SM not breaching the P & SA Act and the OC not breaching the SSM Act by:
(i) Failing to act on 2 noise complaints last month?
(ii) Failing to hire an expert to verify the level of noise transmitted to other lots? and
(iii) Failing to pursue those who acted in bad faith by not doing their jobs when approving the renovation? Had they done their job, an acoustics certificate would be filed with the SM.
