Reply To: Risky reno goes wrong. Kept off the records.

Can I ask please, what if something really corrupt has gone on here in strata-land Western Sydney? Like…

The Chairman ushered through the contentious renovation in the unit below his, where a fellow committee member lived (by-law for reno failed at three specially convened EGMs but succeeded at a fourth).

Now those committee members have fallen out. The dodgy reno damaged the Chairman’s unit above. Chairman demanded five grand and got it, then demanded more. Their arguments about this have been overheard.

The Chairman of 5 years has ALSO had an insurance assessor in, a strata matter. He was the only one to meet with the assessor. He has form. He had a mysterious ‘water leak’ a couple of years ago, it seemed suss, and file emails show he peppered the Strata Manager with demands for speedy payment by the insurers.

How can we shine a light on this? Get them to step down maybe. The Strata Manager won’t help; think he knows which side his bread’s buttered on.

And as I say above, the owner of the reno’d unit who reckons they work in the local council’s planning department and insisted no council approval was needed. As JimmyT says, it was. Or is.
