The owners above are doing renovations

they wanted to access our lot so so that they could change the plumbing, we said no as we didn’t want our roof ripped out and the change of plumbing was never approved in their renovations bylaw

theh threatened that they would go ahead and do the works they wanted and it will leak and it will be my fault for not letting them rip into my roof.

well now they have drilled into the concrete slab and punched a hole into my unit, and there is water leaks. Their trades have put a rag over the top of it and sealed it up on their side but my side is opened. This happened weeks ago when they were drilling and they’ve hoped to get away with it.

now that I’ve discovered it they are saying their trades people will “fix” my hole, but my concern is the water run off into the concrete space needs to be stopped from their side and simply patching won’t stop the issue

also I don’t want their trades people I want strata approved builders to fix this for future insurance purposes

what are my rights?

thanks
