    I think you may be coming at this from slightly the wrong angle.  The owners corp (you and the other owners) should be having a defects survey done and then making an official claim against the developer.  

    He has no legal responsibility to go looking for defects.  But if you find them – major defects withing six years and non-major within two – he has a duty to fix them at his expense.

    By the way, “non-major” is basically anything that is a defect but doesn’t mean the block or any part of it is uninhabitable.

    Get a professional defects survey done before it is too late then present that to the developer along with a statement of claim.
