Couldn’t agree more.
We are happy with the new strata manager that we appointed after years of incompetence. It has made a huge difference. But we are still trying to get the building manager / caretaker situation sorted out. I agree that the basis is that there is no legal checks and balances in place. One of the best decisions we made was to not allow the building manager to write work orders. This means that all work orders go through to the strata manager. Seems to be working so far. As a result regular service of equipment is now costing $100’s instead of $1000’s, we have a regular maintenance schedule, and less distractions from residents wanting maintenance done that is actually their own responsibility (lost keys, dripping taps, blown lights…..)
