What is the nature of the dispute?
Answer:
a) Misc invoice applied to my account – said it was due to removalist truck damage. Invoice is for an ‘enhancement to the gate’ of a stopgate. Removalist truck did point out fence was broken on the day BUT it wasn’t broken by them. Was already broken with a brick holding it closed (we have pic). EC are refusing to discuss and have now moved it to bad debt unrecoverable. Means I cannot vote in AGM etc. Written requests for explanation ignored.
b) Common wall between 4 units has water penetration. Complex only 4 years old. Other units with water penetration claimed via Builders Insurance. The 4 units I am attached to are being repaired under ‘sinking fund’ claim. Same water penetration but levies are paying for repairs. Why? No explanation from OC or Strata Manager. 3 quotes obtained ranging from $16K, $3K, $404. Initially chose $404 option until we requested copy of liability insurance. OC have now chosen $3K option. No explanation as to why and no explanation as to why not an insurance claim for common property water penetration.
3) Dysfunctional EC and Strata Manager. No education is being undertaken to the EC representing the OC. Favouritism, unprofessional decisions, as over 55’s complex, no one wants to ‘pay’ to keep new building in good area with responsible sinking fund. Treasurer stated at AGM in April no outlay would be made from sinking fund for next 3 years. Obviously incorrect statement.
