Great. Thank you. Good to know.

I’m certain their inspection is legitimate and I have no desire to get in the way of them doing everything properly to build a decent building and not damage ours in the process. It could even increase our asset value if they do a good job.

My issue is more the dishonesty, lack of respect, care and basic courtesy, not bothering to ask permission and cutting corners and lying about it and distributing a letter to all residents in our block implying they have permission/ authority and thinking they can get away with it. It doesn’t bode well. (Along with the deal with council to change LEP restrictions and consequently massively overshadow our building). This shows a lack of regard for our well being. They were about to start spray painting our property when I interrupted them. They were very rude.

We need to know if workers are coming onto our property, who they are, if they’re licensed and insured, when, where, what they’re doing especially if they’re opening things up and poking into them and even driving into our car park and parking in people’s spaces.

It affects our insurance and disclosure obligations and the interests of owners and residents. We have a duty to maintain the common property etc etc.

Especially, considering serious costly damage that has occurred from developments, to neighbouring buildings in other LGAs. It happens.
