    Who has advised you that windows and doors are lot owner responsibility? From 1996 external windows and doors became the OC responsibility (though balcony windows and doors can be the exception and requires reference to the registered strata plan).

    The 1996 changes were not retrospective.  Generally speaking,  in older buildings of this vintage windows and balcony doors are lot property.  The information page to which you referred, outlines the changes in the 1996 Act but says this:

    With regard to plans registered prior to 1 July 1974:

    If the plan described … the location of a boundary relative to structure, the boundary was not relocated.
