Re: BC won’t act on common property (water membrane) repair

Thank You Whale and Isydowner. It is now a week since the Video Inspection Reports and Tenant repair Activity report was submitted to the Strata Manager – no response as yet.

Whale – it is the original membrane and there have been no renovations or changes to the shower recess since it was installed. Apparantly original Membrane issues are well known in the building – I did think OC may be trying to create a 50% payment precedent?

Tomorrow I will start the processes you mention above  – interesting comment that I should also attempt to get the OC to replace the carpet in the wardrobe / rectify interior wall. You are correct Isydowner – that is the only way it became apparant.

Since “being professionally managed” was the basis for their 50% decision the OC  or the Strata Manager could have requested the Property Reports,    before making any decision, they certainly had enough time. But they chose not to, leading to what I consider an ill informed decision. I requested they be sent once I was given their decision. No-one ( as far as I know ) can see through walls – that is why the OC opinion that  “Someone knew ” has been so puzzling. 

The OC concern re ‘reporting time lapsed’  based on… well -” nothing at all” as far as I can tell is at odds with the lackadaisical approach to quotes / decisions / repairs. And I am convinced this will have increased the damage. Goodness knows what is going on behind the wall by now!

I will of course now add ” Look in wardrobes / cupboards with walls abutting wet areas” to the list of things I expect to be carefully reviewed by my Property Manager at 6 monthly inspections.

Thank you
