Thanks kiwipaul and jimmy for taking the time to reply, very much appreciated.

Making the ec member an enemy is not an issue. She has now been in breach for over 3 months and continues to ADD to the junk already stacked up in her own car space to maximum capacity. And STILL parking in the visitor-car-space.

By doing so, she also obstructs other occupiers from having ease-of-access to their allocated Storage-Rooms … as her car is parked in front of the Storage-Room-doors.

This ec member (a few years ago) kept voting against the repair of my deteriorated and crumbling Vermiculite Kitchen-ceiling  – until I was severely injured and hospitalised, for the 3rd time.

A piece of Vermiculite had fallen in-to my right eye causing a 6-mm laceration. I ran to my GP in amazing pain and fright and was rushed to Sydney Eye Hospital. The Ulceration to my eye was horrific…the size of a tennis ball…and took 4 weeks to subside. I couldn’t see for 2 weeks !!!

Years later my eye is still very fragile.

She is affecting the other occupiers’ use of guest parking, for over 3 months now…and I will be contacting the local Council to view the basement as it is for their advice, as per yours.  

Thanks again gentleman…Cheers!

It took 18 months for the SM/EC to repair the deteriorated crumbling Vermiculite ceiling in my Kitchen … 

 

When I first phoned the SM he ranted  ‘that’s not a strata problem’  and rudely hung up on me …

 

I wrote requesting urgent attention as the Vermiculite was everywhere including falling into  whatever food  I was preparing at the time in the Kitchen…

They knocked back the motion to repair  –  even though no one had even bothered to inspect the damage … and also didn’t let me know this decision for months until I chased it up and phoned the SM … 

 

During the year & a half I had to put with the deteriorating Vermiculite and it’s raining debri  (it’d become like snow at this stage )  –  I suffered greatly from Asthma attacks  (hospitalised by ambulance on one occasion @ Sutho Hospital Emergency … Emergency treatment at Kirrawee Medical Centre for breathing difficulties (Atrovent mask-inhaler @ 1 hour) … countless countless Sinus infections & GP consultations including eventual Hospitalisation & Sinus-Surgery at St Vincent’s) 

 

I went through a small fortune in medication due to adverse reactions to the vermiculite debris  including  Asthma inhalers,  Seretide Inhalers,  Cortisone Medication (both Tablet + Topical forms)   Sinus Rinses,  the ridiculously expensive Nasonex,  cartons & cartons of Anti-Histamines,  headache meds, Migraines, and daily daily freaking daily cleaning cleaning cleaning of Vermiculite dust and debris. 

 

It wasn’t until a piece of Vermiculite had fallen into my eye slicing a nice little nick  –  and me ending up at Sydney Eye Hospital   –   unable to see for 2 weeks  –  that one exec member finally decided to come and have a look at the now-snowing-vermiculite.

 

Vermiculite-repairers turned up in Hasmet-type outfits + masks and covered the entire Kitchen in ‘Dexter-type-plastic-sheeting’ … looked like a blooming crime-scene.

 

Yet … the SM + EC happily allowed me to breathe this toxic-shite in for @ 18 months !!!

 

Am I entitled to an apology ?

 

Cheers,

 

Gina Martin
