Hello, I live in a similar block. 10 units – 2 owners who owned 2 units each. We spent 10 years voting no. One owner took the owners to VCAT. We (the owners) were able to call on our insuracne and the insurer paid our legal fees and the legal fees of the other owner. We were told legally we had to repair their unit windows, cracks, doors etc. Which we did at our cost. To avoid others going to VCAT we have now embarked on a full building repair program. If we did this 10 years ago it would’ve been 1/5th of the cost. Crazy. Remind the owners of their legal obligation. If all else fails filing at VCAT costs a few hundered dollars. Good luck!
