I live on the ground floor of a multi level building in Sydney, directly below me is 8 levels of basement car parking.
There is a vehicle that parks directly below my unit that has an extreme exhaust, and fills my unit with exhaust smells which also irritates my eyes.
Is it a breach of anything like some sort of strata law or building code for exhaust gasses to enter a unit from the car parking area? It is coming through both an intake vent for the air conditioning unit and seemingly through the wall in another spot.
The vehicle owner is not a resident, and even though this breaches the security by laws the EC doesn’t seem interested in doing anything about this, and even if they did i have to assume other exhaust gasses are entering my unit.
I plan to ask the EC to do something about this, but i expect they will just ignore me, so i’d like to be armed with the knowledge of what my legal options are before i approach them.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
