      Interesting question.

       

      We are a townhouse complex with a single driveway running down the front of all the premises.  There are stormwater grates running across it about every 5m.

       

      Unfortunately it was terribly designed and the grates simply float in their slot, which results in a loud clanging noise every time someone drives over each grate.  The OC tried to address it themselves previously by placing carpet strips under the grates but this has only been partially effective.

       

      I’ve asked for it to be permanently fixed as the noise is enough to wake you up at night.  The feeling I’m getting is that it’ll be turned down due to cost – and the fact the OC is completely dysfunctional.

       

      Can the issue be forced under the ‘quiet enjoyment’ by-law?  Will I (can I?) need to go to the CTTT if the OC decides that it doesn’t need fixing?  

       

      Assuming it’s a noise issue, rather than an improvement, can the EC make the decision?  Thanks.
