Stratafied
Our building has had some serious defects. We went through the Tribunal and were awarded funds to repair them however we have subsequently found more and more. Our building has had to pay an extra $200,000 as a special levy, then get a strata loan for $500,000, and finally have just had to raise another special levy of $100,000. This is beyond a joke. The EC has activitely worked to keep the strata manager on and refuse to investigate fault. Myself and some of the owners feel we should be looking at liability. These defects should have been identified previously by both the engineer and/ or strata manager. We don’t have a lot of support but I find it difficult to believe people are will just to pay out these huge sums and keep the same incompetent strata managers on. (The principal also took off owing money and us in debt, so we are now with what’s left). In the end I can say it won’t cost me much overall so I can just shut up, pay and have no stress; or we can pursue the strata manager and engineer. Some think it too costly and not worth it. Thoughts?
