As building works were completed recently on adjacent neighbouring properties for which Dilapidation Reports were prepared in respect of both the exterior of the building and our internal and external Common Property on the one hand and the interior of each Apartment on the other which suffered in varying degrees from those works which reverberated and vibrated violently throughout the property, shook the building, caused it to tremble and shudder, etc from time to time during the period of about 2 years, and whilst we have made the adjacent Owner, Builder and their Engineers aware of the damage which has occurred, none of them has made any attempt to resolve or rectify our lengthy list of complaints and issues which are the consequences of those building works which were completed in or about September 2022.

We would like to know if there is any limitation period within which we should pursue our extensive damages claim and which have been ignored to date, against whom we should pursue appropriate damages relief and whether there is any role to be played by the Local Council which imposed the requirement for Dilapidation Reports and which may be holding certain guarantees, security deposits and/or bonds for the protection of neighbours who suffer damage unless, of course, such security has been released or expired in the meantime.

PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. 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.
