Thanks for your advice Jimmy.
This is a significant reminder to all other owner/occupiers out there – when you see & hear obvious works being done – report it! This work was done 8-9 years ago (I wasn’t here then) and not one single owner, at the time, stopped them. There is only one owner/occupier left from that era who pulled the old “oh I didn’t know anything about it” bs line. This is the blocks sad & angry “Karen” who manages to complains endlessly today about the locations of bins and pot plants!
I agree with <i>kaindub, </i>in that the issuing of that certificate is just an exercise – not worth the paper it’s written on. And that’s even dubious – it’s a Council letterhead with certifiers name in top corner giving the appearance it’s a Council employed certifier. The Council was given photo’s of how the premises was originally – prior to them buying it. No detective work here – all available on the internet. Council only inspected the premises and served them with compliance orders. The Building Info Certificate was issued by a private building certifier – another choice the shonks opted for.
