    The block is 9 stories high. The owner doing the reno is also his own building company. He is also on the owners committee. Apart from putting a few notices in the lifts giving times of noisy work i.e 9-10 10.30-12.30 and 1-2 he is oblivious to the many complaints by residents as is the building manager and OC chairman they just say he is legally able to do the work. I am assuming he just told them building construction is a ‘permitted’ industry. I asked them to check the Covid hotline but they have done nothing. It smells of collusion. The rules for building works are that the house must be empty. With a Strata apartment it is empty but we have builders using the common parts causing extra Covid risk. It seems there is a big loophole in this area. I reported on the Covid hotline but you get no feedback. With a lot of money I could go for an injunction with VCAT but that would add to the stress. Does anyone have some legal expertise in this matter. Thanks for all your input so far.
