thanks for your advice guys but this is more than just a drainage issue. There is a 5cm parapet around the outside edge of each balcony that keeps water on the balcony until it goes down the floor-drain.This design feature enables sensible people like myself to clean their balconies without creating a waterfall. If his drain was blocked, even partially, his balcony would flood.
My neighbours and I are getting his run-off because he uses a hose to clean his outside surfaces by firing the hose everywhere.
I have sent a letter of complaint to the executive committee as advised, so I will see what comes back fom that. Apart from making a complaint I suggested the committee speak to the other affected residents. I also advised that I would be collecting video evidence and witness statements from now on. Lastly I made it very clear that if I had to take legal action I would be seeking compensation for costs and damages.
Will let you know what happens next. Stay tuned.
