I agree, You have to fix it.
28/02/2012 at 9:21 pm in reply to: Leaking Balcony due to Unapproved Renovations by Past Owners #14836Hi, Is the balcony private or Common Property? We are doing a balcony in Melbourne and we had to supply 4 quotes,
1, Balcony floor: to owner
2, Balustrade internal wall to owner
3, Balustrade external wall to OC
4, Apartment external wall to OC
“You're Confused????!!!!”
I agree with units 1 and 3. Why should they pay for a gas line that they can't use?

Hi, as a matter of interest, we are currently doing repairs on a leaking balcony at a block of apartments. There are 4 quotes involved.
1. Balcony floor: Owner
2. Balustrade ext. wall: Body Corp
3. Balustrade Internal Wall: Owner
4. Aparment Ext. Wall: Body Corp.
The owner has also had the window/sliding door taken out and new frame and flashings inserted at his expense.
Talk about confusing.

As a tradesman who does regular work on Unit sites I can only relate my experience to you. We have had situations where we were contracted to do jobs for owners and other owners would complain over the smallest matter. We simply would say to them that if they had an issue then they should talk to the owner and not bother us. We would continue working untill told otherwise by the person who contracted us. I would tell this person that they should get a life and leave the tradesman alone. It might be an idea to also ask the tradesman to leave his dog at home. If this is a regular source of work for the tradesman then I don't think you will lose him over a dog.

Hi Austman, What you have described is nothing new. I take it you are Melbourne?
Hi Jimmy, do you know what percentage of your members would be in Melbourne?

Hi Jimmy, we are on flickre and facebook. I will talk to the boss re the link to Flat Chat. Thanks for your help.

Hi Jimmy, Can the format of your site be altered to allow posting of one or two pictures per posting. It would give readers and yourself a clearer understanding of what is being described.

Hi Jimmy, do you know if the time limit will be shortened in Victoria? What would the insurance companies make of this. I'm assuming this will only effect new dwellings built from the ammendment date.
