… or as this is not the only issue with this Lot, go straight to NCAT for the appointment of a Strata Manager to take over and get the block fully compliant?
I would go for a section 232.2 orders and during that process you could explain to your neighbours that they need to get themselves compliant or you will seek the appointment of a strata manager.
They (and you) really don’t want that to happen. Why?
1. For at least a year, possibly two, you and your neighbours will have ZERO input into the running of the scheme.
2. The strata manager is pretty much required to do everything strictly by the book so all those little things you have all been letting slide will have to be done, regardless of the expense.
3. Many strata managers will use their tried and trusted tradies for all the work needing done, regardless of the expense (because they aren’t paying the bills – you are)
4. Your neighbours will have learned nothing and when the statutory appointment is over, they will go back to doing things exactly as they are now.
It would be better to get a “strata audit” done and then everybody can sort themselves out when they know what they should be doing and why.
