They are defects in common property and that’s al you need to know. The Owners Corp is legally obliged to get them fixed. If they are “building defects”, i.e. they are the result of poor construction, up to the first six years, the Owners Corp can demand that the builder fix them.
Thanks for the good advice. The crack is in one of the bedrooms, is that still considered common property? How much power does the building manager / owners corp have in demanding builder to fix?
Correct – but time is running out for you if the block is already six years old.
Isn’t body corp still available after the warranty period? If all fails, doesn’t it eventually land with body corp?
