At last work began on 5th March 2019 (12 months after notification to adjoining owner & SM)- tiles & toilet were removed in preparation for waterproofing & retiling of common wall at OC expense.
Being in an 1920s building where presumably there was no waterproofing & a shower was fixed above the original bath, the common wall has been soaked over many years.
THE VERY THICK COMMON WALL ( BRICK & FILL 20-30cm thick) IS STILL WET ON BOTH SIDES.
The adjoining owner is now complaining that his unit has now been unrented for 3 weeks! No recognition that ours has been un-rentable for 12 months!
He informed SM that he wants the waterproofing & tiling done in his unit NOW even on a wet wall (still at OC expense) & says he is not responsible for anything further.
I have insisted that no further repairs- waterproofing of retiling – should be done till that wall is dry.
Meeting due Monday!
Advice please
