my question: is the lot owner (in this case the developer), by not attending to defects associated with his own two lots within the warranty period able transfer responsibility for meeting future costs of rectification to the Sinking fund. Other owners have raised various common property issues such as cracked/chipped travertine floor tiles, serious cracking to external rendering, extensive water damage to external ceilings over front entrances, unfinished external painting and the like. There is no reason to believe his two units have been built to a higher standard and are thus spared these issues and the remaining five lot owners remain unprepared to meet any future costs that may be passed to them because of the lot owner’s omission to raise defects within the statutory time frame.
