      We are in the process of having window locks fitted and units checked for compliance where some already have these fitted.  So far, so good and there is general co-operation with the process.

      However, there is one notable exception. An owner occupier has flatly refused to allow access to fit window locks. (He has previously failed to respond to requests to access the roof space above his upper (3rd) floor unit for other purposes such as termite inspection, fire safety inspection etc).

      I have advised our SM and suggested this may need to go to the Tribunal.

      Relatedly, I also contacted NSW Dept Fair Trading recently to ask about the need for a Compliance Certificate, but they advised that the legislation makes no provision for this.  Seems like a pointless omission to me.

      Would be pleased to receive opinions on our specific problem and the matter of compliance generally. Thanks
