      I’m on the executive committee of a block of 15 units. One of the the EC members wants to introduce a bylaw that requires lot owners wishing to renovate common property must consult with the exec com first to iron out any concerns other lot owners may have and facilitate OC approval.

       

      I’m a little concerned that she wants to introduce a stipulation that renovators cannot engage an engineer themselves, but must relinquish that responsibility to the exec com, who will commission an independent engineer. Aside from being redundant (accredited engineers won’t put their name to work that may fail), is it unnecessarily restrictive and potentially unfair to those who commission an engineer without realising this requirement and then must pay for another engineer.

      No one reads bylaws, its bound to happen.

Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
