Thanks for the suggestion! As it turned out the owners, although not happy about the delay, did delay their renovations. They are now starting in earnest this week.

Thanks Jimmy, that’s a great suggestion. I have now spoken directly to the new owners to explain the issue – it appears alot was lost in translation by the our strata manager. LOL no suprise there, email tends to do that! There have been suggestions about providing elsewhere for people to work during the noisy times but we’re still working on it.

We have renovation by-laws in place for the times when work can be carried out. A new owner, who hasn’t moved in yet, had submitted an application to gut their 3 bedroom unit and completely renovate. 2 bathrooms, laundry and kitchen and removal of magnasite. 9 weeks of work planned – It’s gonna be noisy! As a committee we have asked  them to postpone their work due to the noise disruption to everyone working from home as well as the non workers not being able to escape the noie by going to the shops, cafe etc etc. Ours is a 1970s block, 3 stories and everyone knows when someone drills a hole to hang a picture. We haven’t had a response yet. What do we do if they say they won’t postpone? Do we reject the application?
