We have a situation in our strata where the husband of our Sec. runs around like a bull in a china shop doing whatever he feels like. Some of the things he does are helpful but some are not!.

The area which disturbs me is that he has attempted to fix minor electrical problems on the common property and ultimately we have had to bring in a licensed electrician to fix the problems after his attempts.

I asked numerous times from members of the EC  to advise if the husband of the Sec. was a licensed electrician but no member would answer me, including the Sec.  When this happens one can only suspect that there is a cover up and then one wonders what else may be covered up.

The Sec. husband is unlicensed and it is illegal in NSW for an unlicensed electrician to do electrical work on common property

The Chairman was e-mailed asking him to put the request in if the husband was licensed in correspondence as there was no sense in asking the Sec. to do it.

It did not appear in correspondence and when asked at the EC meeting about the subject, the Chairman replied that the matter was taken care of.

End of his story!

But I want to know how the matter was taken care of and would like to see something in writing.

I’m particularly concerned about our insurance policy that we would be covered in the event that an electrical fire occurred.

In probably most cases the apartments are the Owners most valuable assets and to think that the insurance could be revoked because of an unlicensed electrician doing work on our common property is UNTHINKABLE!

What can be done to prevent this from ever happening again.
